I use/try a LOT of software, and this is amongst one of the most useful tools I've ever encountered. Tl;dr "Edit recorded audio/video like a Word/Google Doc." I relied on this software a ton as I was experimenting with launching various audio podcasts; truly a game-changer in the intuitive nature of making audio sound flawless (e.g. AI detecting and removing filler words and pauses). It does a great job for video, but obviously video has it's own challenges -- e.g. adding in b-roll, transitions, etc. With more features does come an additional learning curve. So that's on me. I find video editing overall to be a challenging/overwhelming task to have considered before, but Descript is still the most elegant solution I've seen that does the basics super well. I was previously a customer of SquadCast, which Descript acquired and has since integrated into its product to allow you to now record high-quality audio/video podcasts from right within Descript. This is a wonderful addition to its feature set so you don't need an external tool as well (e.g. Riverside.fm). Collaboration/sharing drafts/working with the file exports etc. is efficient with "publishing to the web" feature. Overall 10/10 software that has made it easy for a audio/video editing novice to at least put content out into the world

The editing exeperience was good at the beginning

Used it for a mini podcast, found it less glitchy as compared to other platforms like Podcastle.
