## What the story says

LinkedIn's editorial, media production, and learning teams use Descript to edit video through auto-generated transcripts, producing rough cuts, extracting multiple social clips from interviews, and cleaning up audio before exporting to Premiere for finishing.

Summary written by usedby from the source page, in English. The figures are those of Descript and Linkedin, not ours.

> Instead of scrubbing through an hour of video to find clip-worthy moments, LinkedIn teams scan the transcript to spot compelling quotes, stories, or soundbites. Then they simply highlight the text, extract it as a standalone clip, and repeat for every clip-worthy moment they find.

- **10+**: “Produced 10+ clips from a single interview”
- **Four to five minutes**: “Four to five minutes of automated cleanup per composition.”

> Descript changed our workflow by turning hours of timeline scrubbing into fast, review-ready roughs and batch social cuts. That has saved our team significant time.
