The free Descript alternative — cut product demos by text, or let your AI

Descript pioneered editing video by editing text, and its free tier caps you and watermarks the export.
Eziclip Studio gives you cut-by-text free on Mac, Windows, or in the browser, on a board where your demo, changelog clip and social cuts sit side by side — and your coding agent can drive the same edit over MCP.

Questions
Yes — Eziclip Studio transcribes your clip on device and lets you cut the video by deleting words, free and with no transcription cap — Mac, Windows, or browser. Exports have no watermark. Descript's free tier caps media at about an hour a month and watermarks 720p exports.
No watermark · unmetered exports. Descript: Yes, on the free plan.
Quick tools open with no account. Studio needs a free account — then editing and every export stay free. Descript: Required.
No — Eziclip has no monthly transcription cap, and it runs on your machine. Descript's free plan limits you to around an hour of media a month.
Studio editing and every export stay free, clean, and unmetered. An agent task is one editing job — from the first change your agent makes until it stops for 30 minutes (or hits 8 hours). Free gets 10 tasks per rolling 30 days; Plus is unlimited agents, unlimited boards, AI board notes, and commercial use.
Yes. Eziclip Studio is a board — many clips on one canvas, each with its own timeline — plus you can duplicate an edit into every social format and compare them side by side.
Overdub voice cloning (not local TTS), remote recording, and podcast/video hosting. Eziclip has cut-by-text, filler/pause removal, free stock search, Drive/Dropbox import and local TTS on a multi-clip board — for a transcription-heavy hosted workflow, Descript is deeper.
Yes — Studio's Color tab has CDL lift/gamma/gain wheels, a skin Match + Retouch block, one-tap AI Auto color, a Log → Color switch for flat log footage, and creative knobs — contrast, exposure, highlights and shadows, saturation, vibrance, temperature, tint, vignette and film looks. Every control is keyframeable and a grade copies across clips — free on Mac, Windows, or in the browser, which a transcript-first editor like Descript doesn't focus on.
Yes — Studio auto-transcribes on device first, then you pick a bundled face or any font installed on your machine (Chrome/Edge Local Font Access). Eleven word-timed animation presets burn into the export, and captions translate into nine languages.
Yes — paste one link into Claude, ChatGPT or any agent that accepts connectors, and it edits your project autonomously: cuts, captions, color, sound, stock footage and export. Eziclip hands the agent real editing know-how along with the tools, so the result follows editing craft rather than guesswork.

What's new in Eziclip
The latest updates across Studio.
A much faster Studio
Panning and zooming the board stays smooth at your display's full frame rate, even with several sheets open.
Your agent asks first, then edits to a plan
Before the first cut, your agent asks what the video is for, where it will post and how long it should be — then writes down what's in the footage and which moments it keeps. No more guessing.
eziclip on npm — edit from the terminal
One command starts Studio on your machine. Press Allow once in the browser, then your agent goes from a file on disk to a finished export — no tab to keep open.
