Vorteile:

It is very inexpensive compared to other tools or hiring freelancers. Descript enables me to make more high-quality content, and repurpose existing content into other formats.

Nachteile:

That there is no way to edit two separate tracks in one audio. I.e. two people speaking with their own audios).

Descript - Review From A Rookie

5,0 vor 10 Monaten

Kommentare: Overall ok. Fix the 2 issues described above and I go from an 8 to a 9.5

Vorteile:

I like the text based editing feature. The AI tools are good as well.

Nachteile:

The pricing is a little high. I have to spend too much time cleaning up the transcript between transcript errors and Speaker labels, If those worked well, I could greatly reduce the time it takes me to get a podcast ready to publish.

Perfect for creating professional software demo videos

4,0 vor 5 Monaten

Kommentare: Overall, I'm happy using Descript. I'm impressed by the speech-to-text and editing capabilities. It allows me to create professional software demo videos.

Vorteile:

I use Descript for screen recording software demos. The speech-to-text transcript functionality is excellent. The video can be edited side-by-side with the transcript editor. If you remove or correct parts of the text, the video is synced. Auto-cleanup of vocal disfluencies or hesitations ensures a clean and professional-sounding end result. Finally, I use the transcribed talk track for auto-generating subtitles, and I share it with co-workers as input for written content.

Nachteile:

Processing of a video takes a long time. It requires a lot of computational resources and somewhat undoes the time savings of recording. The U.I. takes some time to figure out when you are new to Descript.

Descript hooks you with great features and let's you down when you REALLY need them.

3,0 vor 2 Jahren

Kommentare: I was VERY helpful and now I depend on it. It fails more than it works for me now and support sends me the same answers from their email samples. I REALLY need it today and support just LAYS there!

Vorteile:

I love ALL the great features! When they work! Please don't depend on them though!

Nachteile:

Worthless boilerplate support answers for PAID users. No REAL help for problems.

Great Audio Editor - Beginner Friendly

5,0 vor 3 Monaten

Kommentare: Descript is a game-changer for anyone looking to streamline their audio and video editing process--especially for beginners. It has great features like automatic transcription, screen recording, and text-based editing. The ability to edit media files as easily as editing a Word document saves significant time and effort.

Vorteile:

Extremely user friendly. I was able to get started editing audio files immediately. This software is so easy to use and really speeds up the editing process.

Nachteile:

It's cloud based, so you can't use it without internet access. While it's very easy to use, it lacks some of the features that come with more complex systems (i.e. complex audio processing options, like equalizers and advanced effects)

A Must for Podcast Editing

4,0 vor 5 Monaten

Kommentare: Overall, I enjoy working in Descript and find it has a lot to offer in the video/audio space.

Vorteile:

Descript makes it easy to communicate with our production team for edits, pulling of soundbites, etc. It's also nice that it is its own app with storage due to the size of most files.

Nachteile:

Combining multiple files from one podcast for editing is a little strenuous.

An Amazing Podcast Editing Tool!

5,0 letztes Jahr

Kommentare: Descript has definitely helped me grow my workflow. I'm exporting and transferring files way less. And it has also allowed me to dive into simple video editing for video podcasts and social clips.

Vorteile:

Really love how easy it is to edit audio and video with text. Searching for specific phrases or moments via text instead of scrolling and trying to find it saves so much time!

Nachteile:

The audio mixing features are still a bit lacking in my mind, especially if you get into a more complicated composition. But I work around by mixing and exporting audio in Pro Tools and dragging it in for the edit and music!

Best audio trancription for the money

5,0 letztes Jahr

Vorteile:

We use descript for two things: audio transcription (sometimes many hours a month) and for text based video and audio editing for staff who are less tech savvy. It works beautifully for both things.

Nachteile:

I get so frustrated with the CONSTANT moving around of features and the sunsetting of classic might even make us switch projects. The editing aspect especially, we use it because it makes sense for folks who are more word (rather than visually) focused and for less tech savvy employees who just need to take out a word here or there or trim a video. The constant messing around with the environment confuses folks!

The easiest podcast editor I found.

5,0 vor 2 Jahren

Kommentare: I am a new podcaster and I'm in love with Descript. I can't afford to pay an editor and Descript suits my needs. I believe I can even use it to record the podcast but I haven't played with that yet.

Vorteile:

Descript takes all the filler sounds out of your recording - um, uh, etc. You can shorten long pauses - dead air. I love editing from the transcript. I have a mild tremor so fiddling with the usual sound editing software is difficult. It takes forever to get it at just the right spot. With Descript, I make the change in the transcript and Descript makes the change in the audio. I can delete words or whole sentences. I can even move things around. I believe you can train it to your voice so you can add words to the transcript and the audio file will sound like it was there from the start. It's magical!

Nachteile:

If I want to use the transcription for other purposes, like a blog, it requires a lot of editing. Sometimes sentences aren't structured right and sometimes words are wrong. It's not all that time consuming, just annoying.

I haven't found a better tool for transcribing meetings

5,0 vor 11 Monaten

Kommentare: It's been an overwhelmingly positive experience. I would recommend this product to any company that wants to quickly transcribe meetings and save hours and hours of work.

Vorteile:

The main reason we use Descript is to transcribe meetings. It takes just a few minutes to transcribe an hour long meeting, and it saves us the time of doing it ourselves with a human. We can then easily reference the meeting later when we need to create content based on what was said in the meeting.

Nachteile:

Nothing so far. I haven't used all the features, and although it's primarily used for podcasts and videos, we haven't yet used all of these features at our company. For transcribing meetings though, it's been a life saver.

The Best Software on the Market to Make Videos for Non Experts

5,0 vor 9 Monaten

Vorteile:

What's not to like about this software. It's incredibly powerful, but also intuitive and easy to use. There are plenty of training resources and even for a novice it's not out of the question to hit the ground running on day one!

Nachteile:

Not much to dislike. This software is amazing. On a couple rare occasions I had issues with my video and audio being out of sync, but that was easy to correct.

I use Descript for multiple things!

5,0 vor 3 Jahren

Kommentare: Editing video and audio for podcasts is so much easier in Descript. I can see exactly what I am editing out and it has made my workflow about twice as fast!

Vorteile:

I love that to edit the audio or video, you just make the edits in the transcription instead of trying to find the exact place in the audio file. Makes it so much easier! My favorite is that it can take out all the "filler words" like "um" in about 2 clicks and make the audio sound great! So much faster than how I was doing it before with having to listen and take them out one at a time.

Nachteile:

There are constant updates to the software, about 1 a week. This can be annoying since there is always a pop-up that says you need to update and restart almost everytime I open the app. Also, if you have multiple accounts (I have multiple clients I work with), it is hard to sign out of one account and then sign into another. Not sure why this isn't straightforward, but often when I sign out of one account and then try to sign into another, it just puts me back into the same account.

Take the frustration out of audio/video editing.

5,0 vor 4 Jahren

Vorteile:

I love that Descript makes editing video and audio content so easy. And the transcriptions are so accurate it's scary! This software has saved me countless hours but more importantly removes so many barriers that keep people from getting started with creating video and audio content.

Nachteile:

The editor UI is a bit clunky and compressed, I feel like the editor area should be larger which might make it even easier to use.

You're all in one Video Editing platform - with superb AI powered tools

Kommentare: Superb... I hunted for the right product to edit my training & coaching videos. I'll not be looking any further now I've found Descript

Vorteile:

Ease of use, edit video like a text document, AI features

Nachteile:

The initial learning curve. It's such a powerful platform that it will always take a little getting used to. The How To content is awesome and really helpful

Still learning Descript

5,0 vor 2 Jahren

Vorteile:

I can make professional sounding and looking video ON MY OWN. IT's not quite the same as hiring a videographer, but for $30 a month, it's pretty amazing!

Nachteile:

I feel like the learning curve is slightly higher than Descript leads on for it to be. But that said, the free workshops they offer and their interactive tutorials were a huge help.

Descript is a Decent Software

5,0 vor 2 Jahren

Kommentare: I subscribe because it provides value to me with podcast and audio editing.

Vorteile:

I really like the automatic transcription, and the ease of clicking to remove pauses, "oohs" "ums", etc.

Nachteile:

Steep learning curve now and then depending on the feature. You need a decent internet connection, and even then it can seem a bit slow. But this is to be expected with media editing.

Missing link software - hope it sticks to its strengths!

4,0 vor 4 Jahren

Kommentare: I love descript (although less than I did since the video editing features were added)
Descript solves several problems for me. It helps both me and my clients go through interviews more quickly and accurately - and helps with dialogue choices early on in an edit. The compilations I make in Descript I can recreate easily and quickly in Premiere. And then at the end of my process I can output with subtitles - accurately and easily. If I am making animations then I can get accurately time-stamped voice recordings and generate audiograms which make it easy to time the animations precisely.

Vorteile:

The product is pretty easy to use straight off the bat but its when you get the transcripts back that things really get interesting. The way the text and audio/video files are linked is totally special. You can change one and the other follows. You can copy and paste text and the media comes along too. Once you've compiled your rough you can export

Nachteile:

Software feels a bit slower and bloated now due to the addition of the editing features - and a bit more sensitive to handle. I have to be more accurate when I click!

Fantastic Must Have Software!

5,0 vor 4 Jahren

Kommentare: Overall the experience is extremely positive, so much so I now use this software daily. The business benefits to me are astounding, allowing me to transcribe, overdub and use the many features on descript to make my life easier, make me more productive and increase my efficiency.

Vorteile:

Transcription, text search, the ability to use the software effortlessly means this is a crucial piece of software to me both personally and professionally. I love the feature of after transcription, clicking on a word and playing the video from there, such a simple feature but I am sure was very hard to implement from a programming perspective.

Nachteile:

I think it would be great to see a thumbnail overview of projects currently being worked on, having that option as well as list view would be very helpful to me. Sometimes the software can be buggy in terms of asking something to be transcribed and it says this cannot be completed at this time. The other thing I like least is after you've imported multiple files and transcribed them, the software can re-order them, then the videos and transcription are out of sequence, there is no easy way to re-order them and get them to where you want them to be.

Game Changer

5,0 vor 4 Jahren

Kommentare: Overall it's great. As I said earlier, for people who are not experienced with editing software who need to create videos, audio files, podcasts, etc, it's a game changer in terms of ease of use, productivity, and enabling people with not video/audio editing skills.

Vorteile:

Many startups with new products use the terms disruptive, game changer, etc. But, in the end few actually are. Based on my experience, Descript is one of those products that really is a game changer. They've taken a fundamentally different approach to video and audio editing by applying a universally familiar document editing UX to video and audio editing. This removes much of the complexity of traditional editing software and puts it into a format that's accessible by virtually anyone. The integrated transcription function is really useful and the Overdub feature is very cool for being able to make edits without re-recording and splicing in audio. And the way it's all integrated with the cloud with one click publishing makes the usability very smooth and frictionless.

Nachteile:

As with any type of new software and when there's a new UX concept, there is a learning curve and things don't always work the way you would expect. Some people experienced with traditional editing software may find the UX a little limiting, but I don't think that's the type of user Descript is targeting with this solution. I've found the learning curve to be very fast at the beginning , so you can be up and running with it and creating content quickly. Once you need to access more advanced features it takes a little bit of time to figure out where the feature is and how to use it, but nothing out of the ordinary. I think it's just that the initial experience of being able to edit video/audio in a word processor is so good that you are then surprised when some of the more advanced features are not quite as intuitive.

Descript is the only video editing software you will ever need.

5,0 vor 3 Jahren

Vorteile:

I'm not a video editor by any means. In fact, I've been using all sorts of different software over the past few years and I just didn't find anything that was really easy to use -- until Descript. As somebody who is a heavy content creator, I needed to start creating video content and it was really hard because I had to rely on others to edit the videos for me. Now with Descript I can do it myself which is super powerful and saves a lot of time. My favorite features are "shorten word gaps" and "remove filler words". Everybody thinks I'm a magician when I show the my videos post-production. Descript has changed the entire scope of my work and how I do my job. It's much easier than any other software tool that I've used. I love how easy it is to use, the interface is very intuitive, it's very quick and simple. My friends and teams love Descript too. Don't be scared! All you need to do is upload your original video or record a video directly in the software and then edit it out later or add text or change the voice if you want. It's really great. I also love the collaboration aspect of Descript.

Nachteile:

It takes a LONG time to download high-quality videos.

Huge timer saver, with some details to be improved

4,0 vor 4 Jahren

Kommentare: I'm happy to use this software for everything to do with speech editing - it saves an enormous amount of time in post-production, and also allows editing as you record. I was disappointed by the Overdub feature - still lots of improvements to be made in terms of natural-sounding speech, but I'm sure this is being improved with each iteration.

Vorteile:

Using the transcription to edit audio and video completely changes the game - so much time is saved by being able to use the text to guide exactly when to clip.

Nachteile:

Responsiveness is still a bit laggy, and compared to other multi-track editors, this still feels at times unwieldy. Transcriptions could also be more accurate, as going through and changing them can take quite a lot of time.

Descript - Saves You Time and Money

4,0 vor 4 Jahren

Kommentare: This has been a huge time saver in that I no longer have to outsource the audio and video editing. Also, using the screen recording feature allows me to communicate what is on my screen. I can edit the ums and ahs out and clean up the recording before I share the video with team members or clients. This saves time in having to type out what a tricky customer service type problem might entail.

Vorteile:

I really like that as a person with no audio or video editing experience, I can create useable short audio and video content for social media, websites and for sharing information. I no longer have to outsource this editing work to Fivrr.

Nachteile:

As the product grows and more features are added, it become harder to learn the system if you have no editing background.

Magical software of the future for audio + video + text editing

4,0 vor 4 Jahren

Kommentare: It's an incredible tool that we use for all our podcasts and videos. It saves tons of time and improves quality and allows tight collaboration. It's a magical use of AI technology for audio and video editing.

Vorteile:

The killer feature of this product is the ability to edit text and audio or video simultaneously. You can edit each and the other immediately updates, so it's possible to "read" your entire show as well as edit in depth by words or by frames or samples when necessary. It's wonderful to have the whole project in the cloud with comments shared like a Google Doc for collaboration. The automatic transcription works pretty well with clear speakers. Exporting to audio files or DAW projects works well.

Nachteile:

The automatic edits at word boundaries can be a little rough and need hand touching up. Sometimes the software needs to be restarted to take into account a new update. Occasional slipping of time or data due to software updates or collaboration. Could still use a "stem" export function in addition to flattened audio and DAW projects. It would be great to improve automated transcription further, but this is a hard problem.

Such a fan!

5,0 vor 4 Jahren

Kommentare: I've recommended it over and over for ease of editing to new podcasters.

Vorteile:

I love the text editing feature. It makes it so much easier to edit visually which is great and easy.

Nachteile:

The user interface is different than most standard audio editors so there is a learning curve.
