Here are some of the features that most impressed me. I love being able to edit video or audio recordings simply by editing the transcript. You can edit within the same file, or you can open another file in a separate window and copy/paste the sections you want from the original file - which remains intact. Descript's filler word and "dead air" removal are pretty amazing as well. The option to export a format that is editable in Adobe Premiere Pro comes in very handy. Currently, my workflow is to get the main video edit done in Descript, and then fine tune and add additional elements in Premiere. In fact, I had used Descript's Marker feature to indicate section headers that I was going to add in Premiere. I was pleasantly surprised to see that Descript's Markers translate directly to annotated markers in Premiere, making it really easy for me to find the spots to insert section graphics and which header cards to put where. Descript's built-in screen recorder has been very helpful for grabbing b-roll from websites. I even used it to show the Descript team some minor challenges I was having with their app. > > **Cons**: The accuracy of the automatic transcription can be a bit hit or miss. British accents are notoriously problematic. Not only does the app misinterpret words, but the rhythm of the person's speech can cause the app to put the wrong punctuations in all the wrong places. If the transcript needs a lot of editing, I'll put the whole transcript in Edit Mode. But I often need to play back a section of audio to know how to correct it. Playback doesn't seem to work in Edit Mode, and it's very cumbersome to switch back and forth. I often need to add captions to the exact same clip in two different formats for social media - e.g. square and vertical. Simply uploading the caption file I had exported from Descript for the first clip to the second clip didn't work as I would have expected. The Descript developers are continually updating their app - which is both good and bad. It seems like every time you open it, some feature is new or modified when you haven't even had a chance to get comfortable with the way things were. > > I love that Descript lets me edit video by editing a transcript. In the past, planning my edit - because of how my brain was working - I practically ended up with a handwritten transcript. I thought: there's got to be a tool that will do this automatically. Then along came Descript\! Descript is a pretty robust tool for editing video and audio. They seem to be headed toward making it a full featured tool that can do it all. However, my background is in Adobe Premiere Pro, and right now it's not worth my time and energy to learn to use Descript instead. But Descript has been a very helpful supplement. ----- ### "Great Audio Editor - Beginner Friendly" — 5.0/5 > **Katja** | *25 November 2024* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Extremely user friendly. I was able to get started editing audio files immediately. This software is so easy to use and really speeds up the editing process. > > **Cons**: It's cloud based, so you can't use it without internet access. While it's very easy to use, it lacks some of the features that come with more complex systems (i.e. complex audio processing options, like equalizers and advanced effects) > > Descript is a game-changer for anyone looking to streamline their audio and video editing process--especially for beginners. It has great features like automatic transcription, screen recording, and text-based editing. The ability to edit media files as easily as editing a Word document saves significant time and effort. ----- ### "Descript hooks you with great features and let's you down when you REALLY need them." — 3.0/5 > **Paul** | *27 March 2023* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love ALL the great features\! When they work\! Please don't depend on them though\! > > **Cons**: Worthless boilerplate support answers for PAID users. No REAL help for problems. > > I was VERY helpful and now I depend on it. It fails more than it works for me now and support sends me the same answers from their email samples. I REALLY need it today and support just LAYS there\! ----- ### "Perfect for creating professional software demo videos" — 4.0/5 > **Patrick** | *16 September 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I use Descript for screen recording software demos. The speech-to-text transcript functionality is excellent. The video can be edited side-by-side with the transcript editor. If you remove or correct parts of the text, the video is synced. Auto-cleanup of vocal disfluencies or hesitations ensures a clean and professional-sounding end result. Finally, I use the transcribed talk track for auto-generating subtitles, and I share it with co-workers as input for written content. > > **Cons**: Processing of a video takes a long time. It requires a lot of computational resources and somewhat undoes the time savings of recording. The U.I. takes some time to figure out when you are new to Descript. > > Overall, I'm happy using Descript. I'm impressed by the speech-to-text and editing capabilities. It allows me to create professional software demo videos. ----- ### "A Must for Podcast Editing" — 4.0/5 > **Morgan** | *11 September 2024* | Health, Wellness & Fitness | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Descript makes it easy to communicate with our production team for edits, pulling of soundbites, etc. It's also nice that it is its own app with storage due to the size of most files. > > **Cons**: Combining multiple files from one podcast for editing is a little strenuous. > > Overall, I enjoy working in Descript and find it has a lot to offer in the video/audio space. ----- Page: 1 / 9\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.sg/software/2036215/descript?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.sg/software/2036215/descript) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
