Descript AI Video Generator

Descript (descript.com) is a text-based video and podcast studio: you edit the transcript and the timeline follows. Official pricing lists local export at 720p on Free, 1080p on Hobbyist, and 4K on Creator and Business, with 1 to 40 media hours a month by plan. Creator also lists generate video with hosted engines such as Veo 3.1. ImgToVid does not run Descript; the generator on this page drafts on Seedance 2.5.

01 — Capabilities

Edit the doc, not an 8-second prompt model

Public Descript pages sell a project you cut by editing words. Media hours and export size are plan rules, not a one-shot clip spec.

01
Cut the transcript, Underlord does the chores
Pricing: edit video by editing a doc. Underlord is the named AI co-editor. Tools listed on the same table include Studio Sound, Remove Filler Words, Eye Contact, Green Screen, Create Clips, and AI Speech with custom voice clones.
02
Media hours are a quota, not one take
Free: 1 media hour a month. Hobbyist: 10. Creator: 30. Business: 40. Pricing says media hours count uploaded or recorded files, whether you transcribe them or not. That is a monthly allowance, not an 8-second generate.
03
720p, 1080p, or 4K on export
Local export: Free 720p, Hobbyist 1080p, Creator and Business 4K, watermark-free on paid plans. Web-link export lists 720p or 1080p and 1 or 3 hours. Uploads go to 4K or 5K depending on plan. Those are project export rules.
04
Hosted generate sits inside the editor
Creator lists generate video with the latest AI models. Descript’s generate page names Veo 3.1, Pixverse 4.5, and Hailuo 02. Length and native audio follow the hosted engine, not a Descript-only duration table. This site does not open that editor.

02 — Prompt to output

Prompts that match the clips above

Each prompt describes the picture on its card. “Use this prompt” sends that text to Create. The generator on this page runs Seedance 2.5, not Descript.

01 · Portrait
PromptClose-up of a young man with curly hair in a grey knit sweater, soft window light. He glances away, then smiles. Slow push-in, shallow depth of field.
02 · Product
PromptA white leather sneaker on a pale grey studio backdrop, soft diffused light. The camera orbits slowly. Stitching stays sharp, the look stays minimal.
03 · Street
PromptA slow dolly down a cobblestone lane in an old European village. Climbing roses on stone walls, café tables in morning sun, a few people walking in the distance.
04 · Character
PromptA young woman with shoulder-length brown hair in an olive t-shirt, late-afternoon gold light. She turns her head and looks off. Breeze in her hair, a handheld feel.

03 — Where it fits

Jobs a transcript studio is selling

Public pages point at a recording you already shot, plus optional hosted generate. They do not sell one Descript-branded 8-second model.

A talking-head you want to cut as text
That is the core job. Filler words, retakes, and gaps come out of the transcript. Media hours come off the monthly quota.
A show that should ship in another language
Pricing lists captions in 61 languages and audio dubbing in 30, with proofread on Business. That run stays inside Descript.
A hosted generate shot inside Descript
Pick Veo, Pixverse, Hailuo, or another engine they list. Length follows that engine’s public spec. This page does not open it.
A draft shot on ImgToVid
Write the shot here. Seedance 2.5 carries the prompt into Create. Membership and credits are checked there.

05 — Side by side

Descript, Veo 3.1 and Kling 4.0

Descript is a transcript studio that can also host generate engines. Veo 3.1 and Kling 4.0 numbers below are from those vendors’ public docs — they are one-shot models, not Descript’s monthly media hours.

	Descript	Veo 3.1	Kling 4.0
Developer	Descript	Google DeepMind	Kuaishou
Single clip	Project quota 1–40 media hours / month	4, 6 or 8 seconds	3–30 seconds

Sound	Transcript, AI Speech, 30-language dub	Native, with the picture	Stereo, with lip sync
Start from	Recording + transcript, or hosted prompt	Prompt, still, first and last frame	Keyframes or 15 references

06 — How it works

Start a clip on ImgToVid

Step 1
Describe one shot
Subject, action, camera. Descript will not be the model that runs it.
Step 2
Use the generator on this page
It runs Seedance 2.5, because Descript is not offered here. The prompt and the settings carry into Create.
Step 3
Generate in Create
Membership and credits are checked there. Coming back to this page does not switch the model over to Descript.

07 — FAQ

Descript, in plain terms

What is Descript?

Descript is a text-based video and podcast studio at descript.com. You edit the transcript; the timeline follows. Underlord is the AI co-editor. Creator can also host generate engines such as Veo 3.1. It is not one first-party 8-second model. ImgToVid does not host Descript.

How long is a Descript clip?

Pricing lists monthly media hours: 1 on Free, 10 on Hobbyist, 30 on Creator, 40 on Business. Web-link export lists 1 or 3 hours. Hosted generate follows the engine you pick. Do not treat 40 media hours as one generated take on this site.

Does Descript generate audio?

Yes in the studio sense: transcription, AI Speech with custom clones, Studio Sound, and dubbing in 30 languages. Hosted engines such as Veo 3.1 keep their own native audio. That is assembled or hosted audio inside Descript, not a Descript-branded one-shot soundtrack on ImgToVid.

What picture size can I export?

Local export: 720p on Free, 1080p on Hobbyist, 4K on Creator and Business. Paid plans list watermark-free. Uploads go to 4K or 5K depending on plan.

Can I generate Descript videos on ImgToVid?

No. The generator on this page runs Seedance 2.5 so you can draft a shot. Descript is marked coming soon.

Can I use the results commercially?

Commercial use of anything you generate on ImgToVid depends on your plan. Check Pricing and our Terms before you publish, and make sure prompts and uploads do not infringe someone else’s rights.
