"Game changer for podcast editing"

Descript has simplified video editing by a landslide! I no longer spend time analyzing frame after frame. The text-based editing is intuitive - just edit the transcript and the video follows.

Pros

Text-based editing, great transcription, Studio Sound

Cons

Learning curve at first, can be slow with large files

Frequently Asked Questions

What is text-based video editing?

Descript transcribes your video/audio, then lets you edit by editing the text. Delete a word from the transcript, and it's removed from the video. It's as easy as editing a document.
