What do users say about Descript?

It was an easy-to-use tool. I liked how intuitive it felt, and I was able to get started without any hassle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The name is what initially caught my attention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Descript for transcribing arbitration hearings and legislative work sessions, as well as discipline and grievance meetings, and it works great. It understands spoken language well, it is easy to use, and it doesn't break the bank. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So far I haven't found anything I don't like. I have tried a lot of products, and none of them can do what Descipt can. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It’s easy to use—just drag, drop, and go. Absolutely amazing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’m still in the learning and exploring stage, and so far my experience has been good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The AI assistant is fantastic to work with, still makes a few mistakes if not prompted correctly. I only hope they continue to train the AI side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

My first attempt was like using the old version of movie maker only harder to use. The AI is the thing... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how easy it is to drop in a video and audio in Descript. It speeds up the process and provides a great beginning of a post or the details, which I can then build upon with my own knowledge. It's really handy for creating transcripts and LinkedIn posts, and I also use it for generating highlights from podcasts. The initial setup was easy, making the whole experience smooth.

Some of the tools are not easy to understand, especially when adding the names of people in a video or audio. I've had difficulty making sure that it is turned on properly and that it catches all the different people on the podcast. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really like how Descript simplifies tasks that typically require a lot of time, like difficult edits. The studio sound plugin is really good and helps to get better audio quickly, which is great for scratch voice overs that we don't have the skill set to edit otherwise. I also appreciate the multi-camera editing feature, as it makes handling multiple camera shots for podcasts or virtual interviews much better. The ability to just drop different scenes into Descript improves the overall workflow. Another standout feature is the AI chatbot that allows us to make edits just by explaining what we want done instead of doing it manually, which I find really powerful. We also started using Descript rooms because it was really helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would love to see even more improvements in the multi camera edit. Right now, it works much better with multiple audio tracks. But there are many circumstances where I only have one audio track, and being able to detect mouths moving and still do those cuts would be really helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Descript makes it really easy to edit a video or audio file into a final product, whether it's for a podcast or a video. I like that you can make the edits on a text level, meaning if I just want to delete a portion of the text, it also deletes a portion of the video. This makes editing so much more quick and efficient. It was also really easy to switch to Descript from iMovie and the initial setup was pretty easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I think sometimes the interface is a little confusing to use, and updates aren't always described well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Descript for recording podcasts, creating social media clips from the podcast, and creating videos and trainings. I appreciate how it's an easy way to edit video and audio, saving me time. I like the text-based editing feature, and I find the separate track editing for multi-person recordings useful. The AI sound enhancement feature is something I enjoy as well.

The AI features were really glitchy. Sometimes they worked, sometimes they didn't. A lot of the times the uploads of recordings from their studio didn't work, or I had to rely on backup recordings which were subpar. They also changed their pricing structure which was a huge jump for subpar features that were so glitchy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As easy as cutting bread... I just denoise some audios. IN Logic Pro it woukd have cost me jours... Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing yet... I have not done so much yet so no way to find out something I couldn't like Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm use to editing on iMovie and things like Final Cut, I've even tried basic CapCut, however this makes editing as easy as editing a document! and its very fast as well. I like being able to turn clips into "Cold Opens" by copy pasting the text from a section to the top of the script and it actually working rather well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

all of that being said, I wish the Hot keys were more universal like a lot of other editing software for the times when I do go in and want to just eidit a specific thing or Mark a specific time stamp or "split" a video somewhere to insert. also Underlord is a bit buggy.
