Editing through text is a very efficient way to get through a lot of larger edits very quickly. For first passes of A-roll video (or podcast audio), it's almost unbeatable — no scrubbing required. The AI tools are also great time-savers, and should not be ignored.

Descript's script editor, transition and sound effects make editing so much more efficient. I love the different features like background customizations, animations for elements added to the screen, zoom and other layouts for the main image/screen. I love the transcript editing and export ease. I love using UnderLord AI for quick clarity or filler word edits and I love the studio sound effect to boost audio and ducking when needed for leveling background noise or music.

It does most of the heavy lifting when it comes to producing and editing my YouTube and Audio Podcasts. It fixes my ums and allows me to easily set up multicam footage. All of which I would struggle with. The ability to record with others also makes it really easy to use.
