[00:00:00] Speaker 1: M.C.P. It stands for Model Context Protocol, and it's basically a standard way for LLMs or large language models like Cloud or ChatGBT to get access to and communicate with a specific app or service. And you might be thinking to yourself, you know, this is great and all, but how does this help me make better videos faster? Well, with Descript's MCP server, you essentially have your own assistant editor to do all the dirty work for you. And the best part, it all happens right in your LLM. You just connect Descript once, and from then on, you're talking to it like you would any other editor. Like, say you got a folder of raw footage just sitting there. Well, you can ask Cloud to import it and essentially set up your project for you just how you like it, so it's nice and primed for editing. Or you can go further and ask it to remove the filler words, run Studio Sound to clean up the audio, and export it. Boom, you have yourself a video without even having to open Descript. Or say you got an hour-long webinar that, let's be honest, you don't really wanna sit through. Well, have Cloud go find the good parts and cut them into shorts for you. You can even specify captions and aspect ratios, or have it create a thumbnail and descriptions for you, which means anyone on your team can make video, even if they don't wanna open Descript themselves.
