1How its documentation is laid out
Descript's help center has an article on each of the seven steps. AI write tools help draft a script before recording; an avatar can be made from a prompt, a photo or the stock gallery; scenes are the segments that carry a project's visuals; text to speech reads the script in a stock or cloned voice; Replace Media swaps one clip while its edits stay; and a finished video goes out as an MP4, a GIF or a web link.
