Filler word removal and text based editing specifically works great!
Descript transcript and caption are perfect.
However ‘overdub’ massive bugs, voice clone quality is weak- voice too fast. Overdubbing long scripts crashes the app. Bulk gap editing is buggy. Adding ‘studio sound’ buggy too.
Worse support takes several days to get a reckon overdub issues, and takes several iterations before they understand anything.
They resort to a video even for tge simplest issues with overdub - seems they don’t really know much about overdub.
Documentation is out of sync, outdated.
Frustrating to use.
I love how you can edit the actual video based on the transcript of what the person said! Saves a lot of time!
Review of Descript
Great concept; however, doesn't allow you to create a sample without charging. It claims you have three projects, but in reality, you don't get to try this out without being charged which is very, very frustrating. I would like to try before I buy- that's only reasonable. There's no customer support.
I have had a love/hate relationship with Descript for a long time. 😃 Heck, I even stopped using it for a while. I recently jumped back in and made a point of learning how to use it properly. Now, the more I learn about it, the more I love it.
I am learning more and more how that is true of everything I use. Before giving up on something, be sure that you took the time to learn how to play to its strengths.
Has completely changed my editing game
Looks awesome! But there seems to be no Linux support yet, even on web app I saw "device is not supported".
