Descript launches API for automated video editing via Claude, MCP, and Zapier
descript · x · 2026-08-26
Descript has released an API to automate video editing workflows via code or no-code tools. Users can trigger Underlord to handle tasks like transcription, filler removal, Studio Sound, clip generation, and captioning through Claude (via MCP), Zapier, CLI, or direct API. The workflow involves defining a trigger, letting AI perform the heavy lifting, and reviewing the final cut. Use cases include generating social clips for podcasts, rough cuts for webinars, and highlight reels for sales calls.
