Regenerate overview

Regenerate uses AI to smooth, polish, or rewrite parts of a video without going through the trouble of re-recording. Use it to heal jump cuts, clean up awkward pacing, fix a distracting noise, or change what a speaker originally said. Regenerate currently supports English audio and video only.

​

Which Regenerate workflow do I need?

Regenerate has several applications. The right one depends on what you’re trying to do.

• Smooth or improve a section: Heal jump cuts, smooth choppy edits, polish pacing, or clean up unwanted audio. The script stays the same. See Use Regenerate to smooth or improve a section.
• Change what was said: Said the wrong thing originally? Use Regenerate to replace words or phrases using an authorized custom AI speaker. See Use Regenerate to change what was said.
• Smooth jump cuts AI tool: Have Descript identify all the cuts in your composition and regenerate new audio and video to make each cut less obvious. See Smooth jump cuts.

How Regenerate works

To smooth a cut, click an edit boundary, then click Smooth. To regenerate a script selection, highlight the text and click Regenerate. Choose Audio & video (when available), or Audio only. Some sections can only be regenerated as audio. Sequences, B-roll, multi-speaker recordings, and shots where the speaker’s face isn’t clearly visible aren’t supported for video regeneration. Descript asks for consent the first time you regenerate video, since the process modifies a speaker’s visual performance.
