Descript Reviews & Product Details

Makes editing and creating audio and video so much easier. I use it as a marketer to create podcast, interviews and to edit webinars. I also love that I can AI my voice to make editing and creating end products much easier then having to record over many times to "get it right: Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish we could better organize our files. Everything is in one "folder" now and it starting to look like a hot mess. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that descript is very user friendly and it spits out a transcript that you can literally use to manually edit the video once you input the media -- and you do not need to be a skilled or trained editor -- you simply need good instincts and basic computer savvy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like the increasing fees and that there's too much AI integration that isn't always useful Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the quality of the transcripts in Spanish and that I can share it with the students. There are also many editing options to improve it. Being able to export it is also a very good point.

It has really helped my students improve their speaking because they can check which words they are not pronouncing well but also, once they look at the transcript, can really check their grammar and plan ahead for future assessments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is not that intuitive at first. I would like to be able to do groups but never managed to figure out if it is an option. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m a complete beginner when it comes to editing YouTube videos. My entire career has been spent behind a keyboard rather than working with a camera, so video editing doesn’t come naturally to me. However, AI video editing agents in tools like Descript have truly been a lifesaver. They automatically remove filler words and awkward pauses, making the final cut sound polished without requiring me to spend hours working in the timeline. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The Underlord Agent is clearly still in its early stages, so I've found it challenging at times to get it to complete tasks for me. However, I'm optimistic that as time goes on, it will become much more useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the transcription feature in Descript makes editing so much easier and faster than anything else I've used. I like the ease of use and the AI tools like removing filler words and regenerate. The regenerate feature really helps when there are internet errors during our remote recordings for the podcast, as it makes fixing these issues simple. The initial setup of Descript was very easy, and I would highly recommend it to others, giving it a 10 out of 10. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The video editing software has a bit of a learning curve, especially with making it clear on what pieces are being edited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Descript completely changed the way I edit videos and podcasts. The text based editing is brilliant being able to cut or rearrange content just by editing text feels super intuitive. The Overdub and Studio Sound features save me a lot of time, and the interface is clean and easy to learn. It’s also great for collaboration teammates can jump in, comment, and make quick fixes easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes Descript can be a bit heavy on system resources, especially with large projects. I’d also like to see more advanced export settings for video, and slightly faster rendering times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I typically use DaVinci Resolve, but I wanted to find something to make social media video development quicker.

The AI (Underlord) was easy to use. I didn't notice the manual features at first, which is on me and caused issues, but once I started messing around with them, it was good. I'm going to stick it out for the month to see, but overall, I would recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I ran into a few stumbling blocks using Underlord, but found all the manual elements after (thanks to customer service). Underlord will eat all of your credits...rapidly, so use them sparingly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The ease with which i can do the editing. The tools and gif's and vidoes and audios all are available at one place. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have been using descript for over an year no but still i get surprised about so many features which i don't know about so maybe some workshops or online classes could be helpful and you can inform about those as a pop up notification the app itself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how Descript allows me to edit directly inside the transcript, which makes it incredibly easy to find and remove sections by simply identifying and deleting words I don't want. This feature significantly streamlines my editing process for sales enablement and public marketing videos. Moreover, I appreciate the AI voice-over capability that supports creating videos for multiple audiences. Although it requires some additional effort to align precisely with the original voice, it nonetheless provides valuable flexibility in video creation. Another aspect I like is the initial setup of Descript, which was straightforward and not difficult at all, making the transition smooth and hassle-free. Given these features and their impact on my workflow, I'm quite reliant on Descript as an essential tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find it challenging to work with the AI voiceover feature in Descript. Aligning it exactly with the original voiceover takes a lot of time and effort, which disrupts my workflow. Additionally, once the AI voiceover is edited to audio, the inability to revert back is an inconvenience. Currently, matching the AI voiceover with the on-screen action is not as seamless as it should be, which creates further obstacles in editing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate Descript's easy accessibility, allowing me to use it both on a web browser and an app based on my needs. This flexibility is crucial for my workflow. The simplicity in editing through transcripts rather than dealing with sound waves is greatly beneficial, as it enables me to understand exactly what is being said, whether in a podcast or a movie. Furthermore, I find the easy key functions like range, blade, and select tools very simple and convenient to use, especially with keyboard shortcuts. I love that I can seamlessly switch between them. Additionally, the capability to put two different audio pieces together and edit them separately is extremely useful. Descript's functionality and intuitive design streamline the editing process, making it less reliant on complex tools while still achieving seamless results.

{"I find the frequent updates of Descript challenging, as they often require me to reload the application or web browser, disrupting my workflow.","I dislike the changes in the overall aesthetic of Descript after a major update. I preferred how it looked before, as now it requires navigating a more complex settings bar to find tools like range, select, and blade, which used to be more easily accessible."} Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
