For us, the intuitive interface and no-brainer features are what stands out. The ability to edit the transcipt text and have it cut the video accordingly is honestly the biggest time saver. I have found that the transciption generator is even better than Youtubes.

Descript is the easiest text-based video editing tool. It's just like editing a Word document. If you have a large video with lots of speaking, it helps you find and cut down useful parts easily. One amazing feature is that you can export your project as an XML file and import it into another video editing software. Descript has all the basic tools you need, but you can also export for more complex projects. Overall, it's the best text-based video editing experience.

It was really easy for me to start using descript and create highly professional videos with so many incredible features.
