Descript & AI Audio/Video Editing

This course teaches editing audio and video by editing text with Descript. Learners cut a real recording via its transcript, clean it up with AI voice tools, and publish a finished clip.

What this course covers

The course runs across 7 topics, each one a short adaptive session rather than a recorded lecture. The tutor explains the idea, works an example, checks understanding, and adjusts the next step to the answer given.

Getting Started: Descript Interface & Project Setup — Learn the fundamentals of the Descript workspace, importing media, and understanding how the transcript-to-timeline synchronization works.
Screen Recording Directly in Descript — Configure your camera and microphone to capture high-quality screen recordings directly into Descript, generating an instant transcript.
Edit-by-Transcript: Cutting & Trimming Media — Perform basic video and audio edits by directly deleting, copying, and pasting text within the generated transcript.
Scenario: Managing Narrative Flow and Filler Words — A scenario-based exercise where you decide which filler words to cut and how to structure a rough cut for the best audience engagement.
AI Voice & Overdub: Fixing Audio Mistakes — Set up your Overdub voice profile and use AI-generated voice cloning to fix misspoken words by simply typing the correction.
Scenario: Ethical AI Voice Editing Decisions — Navigate a realistic scenario assessing when and how to ethically use AI voice replacements without compromising editorial integrity.
Polishing and Publishing Your Finished Video — Apply Studio Sound to clean background noise, add template layouts, and export or publish your finalized video clip directly to the web.

Skills you build

Results are measured against named skills in the OneRange taxonomy of more than 10,000 skills, so a manager sees proficiency per skill rather than a completion tick.

Who it is for

Content, L&D, marketing. The material is pitched at beginner level, and takes roughly 90 minutes at a typical pace. Because every session adapts, someone who already knows a topic moves through it quickly instead of sitting through an explanation they do not need.

It sits in the Tool: AI Audio/Video Editing track of the Vero AI Catalog, and can be assigned to one person, a team, or the whole company.

How it is delivered and assessed

Delivery is conversational and interactive, including guided lab, branching scenario exercises. There is no video to sit through and no slide deck to click past.

Understanding is checked with a lab assessment of 5 items, with a pass mark of 70%.

Administrators can copy this course into their own library and adapt it — edit the outline, change the duration, swap the assessment format, or ground it in internal documentation so answers cite the company's own source material.
