Projects in Taipei CityProjects in Taipei CityI fixed a problem that had frustrated me for years in just two days.
As an Arabic creator who naturally mixes Arabic and English, I could never find a video editor that truly understood my workflow.
So I built Descriptor an editor with AI in its DNA.
AI isn’t a feature added on top. It’s the operating layer of the entire experience.
I import my footage, and the app helps handle the work:
• Transcribes Arabic and mixed English speech
• Synchronizes every subtitle with my voice
• Detects mistakes, false starts, and long pauses
• Lets me edit the video simply by editing words
• Updates repeated transcript mistakes across the project
• Translates and prepares English subtitles
• Keeps captions synchronized after cuts and edits
• Suggests cleanup while keeping me in control
• Handles trimming, splitting, clip movement, and deletion
• Applies subtitle templates without changing the words or timing
• Supports color grading, detailed adjustments, and custom LUTs
• Prepares the final video for export at its original resolution
Instead of manually controlling every technical detail, I focus on the story and tell the app what I want.
The AI handles the repetitive work while every change remains editable, reversible, and private on my Mac.
What makes this meaningful isn’t only that I built an app.
It’s that a problem I had accepted as “just part of the process” for years became solvable in a weekend.
Two focused days. One persistent frustration. A working, AI-native product built around the way I actually create.
We’re entering a time when you don’t have to wait for someone else to build the tool you need.
You can build it yourself with AI.
