First Impressions
I loaded a podcast file. It transcribed it. I highlighted a sentence in the text and hit 'Delete'. The video jumped, cutting that part out perfectly. It allows me to edit video as fast as I edit a Word doc.
Best Feature: Studio Sound
I recorded audio in a noisy cafe. One click of 'Studio Sound', and it sounded like I was in a professional booth. It's black magic audio engineering.
The Verdict
If you have a podcast or a talking-head YouTube channel, you need Descript. It cuts editing time by 70%.
