Overall Satisfaction with Descript

Descript is the primary tool I use for all my audio and video editing. I produce a number of podcasts and Descript makes the process virtually painless. It's also useful for creating clips, captions, social posts, and getting the finished product ready for distribution on external platforms. With the addition of Squadcast, Descript offers an end to end pre and post production toolkit.

Pros

  • Eliminates verbal pauses
  • Shortens word gaps for better flow
  • Push-button audio clean up
  • Push button exports to multiple formats
  • Automated eye contact

Cons

  • Push button distribution to social channels
  • Automated scheduling to external channels
  • Caption styles are limited
  • B-roll can be limited
  • Saved hours on post production
  • Saved hours on audio editing and clean up
  • Professional results without professional level user effort
Probably one of the more intuitive tools I've used. Super-fast learning curve and the embedded resources are solid. You don't need to be super technical to figure out and there are tons of youtube and community support to help figure things out. There are some small things that are a little clunky but nothing too crazy.
I haven't seen a tool that does what Descript does out in the market.

Yes

Did Descript live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of Descript go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy Descript again?

Yes

It's possibly the best editing tool on the market. You don't need to be a tech guru to use it and it's pretty intuitive. It was a solid tool when it came out and since the AI enhancements, it's gone to a whole new level. Value for dollar is packed and the integration to squadcast makes this an almost no brainer.
