Sound Good Actions

Underlord offers great pre-built options to help quickly edit and improve your script to help you sound good. 

Edit For Clarity

"Edit for clarity" helps identify and remove distracting words or off-topic parts in your project's script. You can accept these changes and apply them directly to your script or copy the edited script into a new composition. Any edits will appear as ignored text, and any edits that will be replaced with an AI Speaker will be noted by having blue text, making it easy to see the changes made to your script.

Please note that using Edit for clarity with AI speech generation is not yet available for sequences.

  1. Once you click Edit for clarity, you can adjust the "Edit intensity" slider to Low, Medium,  or Heavy. This tells Underlord how aggressive to be with removing or replacing media. If you want a shorter, more concise script, move the slider to the right.
  2. You can also turn on the "Use AI speech" toggle, allowing you to choose what speakers Underlord can generate AI speech for. This is useful for edits that might not sound right or need a word or two added for clarity.
  3. Check the boxes next to the AI speakers you want to use. Please note that if you still need to authorize AI speech for a given speaker when you check the box, you will then be asked to do so. 
  4. Click the "Submit" button to have Underlord generate an edited script.

This action is based only on the text you have selected. If you want to use the entire video's script, make sure no text is selected before you start an action.

Studio Sound

Studio Sound is a powerful feature that uses artificial intelligence to enhance speakers' voices while reducing and removing background noise, room echo, and other sounds you don't want.

Remove Filler Words

Underlord will analyze your script and identify unnecessary filler words like "um" and "uh". You can easily delete these from your transcript and audio or choose other removal options. You can learn more about removing filler words from a project.

Remove Retakes

Automatically detect and remove repeated takes from your recordings. So, if you're recording in Descript and make a mistake or want to redo a line in your script, just keep recording until you get it just right. Then, use Remove Retakes to eliminate the manual task of editing out multiple takes. When you apply the edits, Underlord will strikethrough the retakes and remove the associated video or audio. You can then restore or delete the ignored script.

This action is based only on the text you have selected. If you want to use the entire video's script, make sure no text is selected before you start an action.

Shorten Word Gaps

You can search for word gaps in your script and easily adjust pauses to fine-tune the pacing of the speech. You can view a list of all detected word gaps and have the flexibility to shorten all word gaps at once or to preview and adjust each gap individually. Learn more about adjusting word gaps.

Add Chapters

Underlord will automatically create titles and chapters for your video and audio project and add them as markers to your project. It quickly organizes your project into logical sections that help you and your audience navigate and engage with your content.

Once Underlord has generated a response, you have a few options:

  • Add to script: This will add the suggested markers to your project.
  • Add timestamps: Include each marker's timestamp at the start of the recommended chapter title.  You can then copy the chapters to your clipboard or add them with the timestamps to your project's script. 
  • Follow up:  Type and ask Underlord to refine your response until you get the exact chapters for your project.

This action is based only on the text you have selected. If you want to use the entire video's script, make sure no text is selected before you start an action.
