Descript is an AI-powered video and audio editing platform. Descript's API lets you programmatically create projects, import media, run AI ("Underlord") edits, publish compositions, and export transcripts — all without opening the desktop app. The API surfaces the same job model that backs the desktop editor and is currently in early access.
