Descript MCP, live: edit video from inside Claude, ChatGPT, and Codex Somewhere in your drafts there's a recording. Maybe you haven't finished it. Maybe you haven't started.

June 25, we're doing that live. Raw footage in, finished video out. You'll see exactly what changes and what doesn't. You'll walk away with: ✅ A real workflow, on footage that looks like yours ✅ Live answers from the people who built it ✅ A clear sense of which jobs to hand to Descript and which to keep doing yourself We know what you meant. June 25, we prove it. The hands-on workshop follows on July 1.

Underlord has more brainpower now. Paid users can check out Opus 5.5 in Descript.
We’re introducing Claude Opus 5.5, the first model in our new Claude 5.5 family. It performs at the level of Claude Fable 5.1 for most tasks, and costs 40% less to run than Opus 5. Opus 5.5 is our first model since we called for pacing the frontier. As with previous models, it was tested by external evaluators before release, including METR and Frontier Design. On our most comprehensive alignment test, it achieves the strongest score to date. It outperforms both Opus 5 and Fable 5.1 on nearly every benchmark we report, leading on agentic coding and real-world knowledge work. It’s also more efficient. Opus 5.5 uses fewer tokens per task at a lower price per token, and generates output more than 30% faster than Opus 5. Opus 5.5 communicates more naturally, addressing some of the most common feedback we heard on Opus 5. It puts the most important information up front and follows the writing rules you give it. Claude Opus 5.5 is available today. We're also raising five-hour limits on Pro, Max, and Team plans, so there’s more room to explore what it can do. Read more: https://lnkd.in/ed8v38cg

The Hit Factory has hosted Beyoncé, Michael Jackson, and, this week, Descript CEO Laura Burkhauser. Our panel spent 45 minutes on what a podcast is actually worth. This morning, we cut the clip to two minutes in Descript. More from Podcast Movement next week.

Wondering what an MCP is? A lot of us are, including the marketer writing this post. MCP is the USB-C of AI: one standard that plugs in everywhere, instead of every app inventing its own cable. Plug in Descript and your assistant will import your raw footage, remove the filler words, run Studio Sound, and export. A finished video, without opening the app. Or hand it an hour-long webinar nobody wants to sit through and ask for the good parts as shorts. You don't have to be an editor for any of it. Describing what you want is the skill. Ramdy explains the whole thing in under three minutes (at which point the person writing this will be out of excuses).

Everyone has one move in their workflow they never explain. The cut that lets an interview breathe. The reason you record the voiceover last. The thing you do to every thumbnail that nobody asks about and everybody notices. It lives in your head. This week, get it out. Descript and Contra are running a challenge: make a short video teaching one thing your work has taught you. Any craft, any move—as long as you make it in Descript. $5,000 in prizes for the best one. Creativity isn't magic. It's work. Show us yours. Enter here: https://bit.ly/46xwDg9

Most tools try to do the editor's entire job. HubSpot's Starter Story team built one that does the repetitive part. Hub & Spoke runs their whole repurpose-and-clip pipeline on Descript's API, so editors skip the mechanical work and focus on the editorial choices. One video → 55 clips → 1.35M+ views. Their long-form now turns into ~100 short-form pieces a week. On Sept 9, our VP of Product asks Sam and Pat Walls how they built it. Register → https://bit.ly/3Ui5LOB
