Deep Dive
Added: Quality-Check Your Videos in Seconds Deep Dive
Justin's deep dive walkthrough of his AI video review workflow in Descript now available. We used to have someone sit and watch every finished video looking for typos, glitches, security leaks, and anything that shouldn't go live. Now a single AI prompt does these checks in seconds. In this Deep Dive, Justin walks through exactly how the workflow works in Descript using Claude Opus 4.5, the only AI model that can actually see inside your video (on-screen text, graphics, B-roll, not just the transcript). He breaks down each of the six review sections, runs it on two completely different tutorials so you can see the range of feedback it catches, and shares where it's still evolving and how to tweak it for your own content.
