(Ships with `tools/integrations/descript.md`.) ## The POV: the transcript is the timeline — decide in text, verify by ear For dialogue-heavy content, editing the transcript beats scrubbing a timeline: delete the sentence, the clip disappears; move the paragraph, the footage follows — reviews report ~60–70% editing-time cuts for talk content. But the paradigm has two sharp edges the top 1% respect. **(1) The voice spine:** Overdub's consent-verified, **own-voice-only** design is the model, not an obstacle — it exists so nobody types words into someone else's mouth; and the craft truth is it shines on flubbed *words*, not paragraphs (long Overdub drifts synthetic — re-record those). **(2) The meaning spine:** text-editing makes it dangerously easy to rearrange a guest into saying something they didn't — **concision yes, meaning-flips never**, and the human owns the final cut of anyone else's words. Operationally: the **accuracy pass is mandatory** (transcript errors become wrong edits AND wrong captions), and since the Sept 2025 overhaul, the workflow must be **credit-aware** — media minutes count everything you import, and formerly-unlimited AI features are meter...
