Veo 3.1 is now available in Descript. Yep, the best generative video model since last week, so you can create your own B-roll, title animations, backgrounds—anything you need for any video you want to make, right where you're actually making it. No switching apps, no file transfers. This is generative video that works. We'll demo how to use the latest and greatest models like Veo 3.1, Sora 2, and whatever comes out tomorrow, in your video workflow at our Season 11 live event in a couple of weeks.

"We intentionally don’t talk about AI as magic, as sparkles, as fairy dust. We want to tell you where it’s strong and where it has room to grow. In a lot of our content for existing customers, what we’re very candidly teaching is a change in mindset, which acknowledges how foundational this evolution really is." -- Vanessa Hope Schneider, our Head of Marketing
While a lot of AI tech players are positioning AI as a magical solution to everything, Descript is doing the opposite. And it's working very well. Vanessa Hope Schneider, Descript's head of marketing, sat down with us to explain why the brand is intentionally avoiding the magical thinking flooding the AI tools market right now, and is instead taking a very direct and clear-eyed approach—teaching customers where AI excels and where it still has limitations. Vanessa walked us through why this builds credibility, how Descript maintains their brand personality while scaling into enterprise, and why she's scheduling “AI vacations” to speed run her own AI skill building. Thanks for the great chat, Vanessa! Full link here: http://bit.ly/4nUX6LT

Magic isn't real. Fairy dust isn't either. If you're marketing an AI product, just be real about it! I chatted with Block Club about how to use candor, voice, and an always-on presence to engage prospects *credibly*. Teams come to Descript to solve a broad range of challenges: making more video, scaling video programs to global audiences, maintaining and updating large video libraries...We tell them where AI can help and where it can't. Tell me your video problems. I'll keep it real. https://lnkd.in/gqQNDYTK

At Descript my team has recently built some shiny new media generation capabilities. In the video below, I share some insights on our strategy in the midst of the AI arms race. Give this short video a watch if any of the following sound interesting to you: 1. How we go from model drop to PR in 10 minutes 2. Designing media generation experiences for everyday users 3. Examples of how to mix generative media with real recordings (where Descript shines!) 4. What Switzerland would look like as a video editor Here are some of our partners that make this workflow possible: fal, Claude

Generative video should be useful for something other than capybara memes—especially if you’re making video for work. Like making B-roll, backgrounds, animated titles, even changing camera angles. Now you can do all of that, right where you make your actual, recorded video—right in Descript. With all the best generative models. So you can make anything you can imagine. Or just make what you need. We'll demo it all live—and take any questions you've got—at Descript Season 11 on 10/28. Save your spot, link in the comments.
