New Release

Added: Quality-Check Your Videos in Seconds Deep Dive

Deep Dive
Tools & Prompts

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.

New Release

Added: AI Video Generation Roundup (Early 2026)

First Look

Justin’s current recommendations for AI video generation and avatar tools now available.

The AI video generation space is changing faster than almost anything else. In this roundup, Justin breaks down his top picks for B-roll generation, image-to-video tools, and AI avatars after testing all the major options. He covers where to access models like Veo 3.1, Kling, and Sora, which all-in-one platforms give you the best value, and his honest take on why AI avatars still fall short when you try to replicate your real face in dynamic scenes. This is real-time tool testing that shapes our future recommendations.

New Release

Added: NEW PLUS Perk! 30% Off Tella for 12 Months

We’ve used Tella to create some of the content in PLUS. It’s great for easy screen recordings where jumping into Descript or DaVinci feels like overkill, and it saves a ton of time.

Added: First Look at Adobe’s New Firefly Video Editor (Beta)

First Look

Justin’s early walkthrough of Adobe’s new free cloud-based video editor now available.

This is the real-time tool testing that shapes our future recommendations.
