Descript costs $24/mo, I built this over a single weekend with Fable to jump on the personal software bandwagon. Introducing Rescript: edit videos by simply editing the transcript text. → Github Runs fully in the browser: Local, free, offline and open source!

Does it have all features of DeScript or only the transcript based editing feature?

Some editing products reduce the video quality when we export the edited clip. Does this retain it as is?

So for example, if the video is in 4K, it exports back 4K, right?

love that this is a weekend project and fully local, that's a rare combo for video editing tools. curious how it holds up on longer source files though, like an hour long podcast recording. is the transcription and scrubbing still snappy on a mid-range laptop at that length, or does the in-browser part start to strain once the timeline gets long. either way nice work shipping this solo.

Transcript-based editing in the browser is a strong idea, especially with everything staying local.

How does Rescript handle edits beyond cuts, such as removing filler words or tightening pauses without making the final video feel unnatural?
