"Document-Like Video Editing That’s Fast and Seamless"
5/5
What do you like best about Descript?

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.

What do you dislike about Descript?

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.

Helped me save time and get things done faster, editing felt as easy and intuitive as editing a document. Easier to learn than other editing tools. AI capabilities were quite helpful(filler-word removal/studio sound/AI actions/etc.) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descript?

The audio and video when was finalized doesn't produced a smooth and clear recordings for there are two parts of few seconds slots damaging the entire the beautiful tailored audio and video. There is need for improvement on this area for reduced noise segment which I am using. The enhanced voice is fine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I was surprised at how helpful it was. I felt like I has a personal assistant working side by side with me. I was really frustrated with another program so I didn't have high expectations going in on this. I am very happy at how simple it is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descript?

The assistance. I can ask any question and get an answer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Steep Learning Curve and Limited Support"
1/5
What do you like best about Descript?

I like the AI interaction, though the AI credit usage is quick. Transcript editing seems good for clarifying unclear words or cutting pauses and ums. The AI also helps in creating clips and trailers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Descript?

I have a hard time with the learning curve for Descript. The subscription plans are confusing and there's no credit for unused subscriptions if I upgrade. The customer service is basically non-existent, just an AI bot. Some features require the business plan, like using my own branding assets, and I can't upload some video formats. The onboarding process isn't great, and I think they should provide more material for new users. Their system doesn't let me experiment freely at the learning stage since the AI credits run out quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.
