Descript’s editor agent for the age of vibe editing
Underlord is the only AI video editor with the judgment you want in a collaborator, the expertise you want in a video pro, and all the tools it needs to make any video you want. This is vibe editing.
Last year when we launched Underlord, we wondered if it should have a chat UX or if it should be a series of buttons. At the time I felt convinced it needed to be buttons. Underlord could really only do a few dozen things. So many of the "AI Assistants" lurking in our bottom right are nothing more than phone trees in a trenchcoat. I didn't want to build another one.
But now Underlord is ready to graduate from a button bar because it finally fulfills the promise of chat: it's truly open world.
Ask Underlord to do anything. My favorite things to do in Underlord are:
- "Get this down to 2 minutes."
- "Hide jumpcuts with zooms."
- "Restyle all of my text and layer properties to be in ____ style."
- And I'm working on a megaprompt to automatically generate a PBS style documentary about various weather disasters. (For my 8 year old, who has not been the same since he saw Twisters last summer.)
Having said that, it's still in beta. So for now, it's free. There's more tools to hook in: transition and animation control, background color control, some issues with inserting/replacing media, etc. We're also soon to add in media understanding, memory, and a couple of other cool new tricks. So try it out now and watch it learn.
