Descript vs. OpenShot Video Editor

• Transcription of internal presentations and web conferences. It's great for capturing and transcribing the audio from presentations, demos, etc. which can then be used to develop training materials, blog posts, etc.
• Podcasts. Makes it really easy to record, edit, and publish video or audio podcasts.
• Promotional videos. Streamlines and accelerates the process for developing videos.

• I like the sidebar - breaking my scripts up into different "chapters" makes it easier to create quickly.
• I like that it auto-corrects punctuation, capitalization, etc. as I polish the scripts.
• It's easy for my team and my collaborators to read/listen, remark, and create useable transcripts.

Incentivized

• When editing a transcript it can get a little cumbersome, as a double click doesn't always do what you think it will
• Some features aren't that intuitive (what is resize word gap) for beginners
• A tutorial/wizard as soon as you sign up would be very useful

Descript is by far superior to the other editing software you can get on Apple computers. It's able to do a lot more and really save us tons of time. Other Adobe apps are great, but take a while to learn. Descript is very user-friendly, making it easy to start from day one with very little training.

• I can get video completed much more quickly and cheaply
• We can produce more video content because of the speed with which we can have a finished product
• We can have shorter timelines for example I record on Monday and we publish on Tuesday which wouldn't be otherwise possible with other methods I've used
