descript Reviews 250

Descript was intuitive and helped me with my first podcast. It saved me a lot of time and headache with the editing process. I will continue to use it as I begin this podcast journey.

Experience was great because it was so very easy. Just a few clicks, a scroll and ba bing, done!

I'm a big fan of Descript. Editing videos by rearranging text makes it way quicker, and I love the concept of 'scenes' to help speed up editing by auto animating elements in and out.

The stability of the product has noticeably improved in the 2+ years I've been using it. I don't use a lot of the AI features like overdub and AI avatars, but just the core editing flow for me is great - I find it faster than using Premiere or Da Vinci, even with keyboard editing hotkeys.

I'd be very sad if I could no longer use Descript

this helped me alot

Easy to spice videos into smaller videos for shorts. Exporting transcripts was super helpful for generating YouTube descriptions and titles. Chapter creation was awesome too!

Great! Everything just works... like it should, but sometimes you just get surprised by the quality of for example the YouTube transcriptions. Good stuff!

As far as video editing software goes, Descript is a game changer! I love being able to edit my videos from the transcript and fix glitches like correcting speech when the internet has dropped out.

Loved
1. The Free plan - Let's you get off the ground with projects and tinker with the controls.
2. The AI tool kit - It is awesome!
3. That there were no unnecessary glitches.

Just using it make my work easy & tidy

It saves so much time by doing exactly what you want

Worst experience ever — complete waste of money.
I purchased a one-month subscription to test this product and within a single short session, all of my AI credits were gone. Nowhere on the pricing page or inside the product did it explain that “one use” means one file in a project. To make things worse, Studio Sound (which consumes credits) is enabled by default on every file import — a deliberately sneaky tactic that drains new users’ credits without their knowledge.

I had to restart my project multiple times due to the system’s poor usability, and with just 16 files I unknowingly burned through nearly all 20 credits in less than half an hour — with nothing usable to show for it. When I contacted support, they were dismissive and offered no help beyond essentially saying “tough luck.”

This was a catfishing, misleading, and infuriating experience. The product is not user-friendly, the pricing is deceptive, and the support is useless. I would never recommend this to anyone. Thankfully I only wasted $16 instead of a full year’s subscription. I’ve since switched to Canva — infinitely better in every way.

Made the process very easy! And super easy to learn.

good software saved lot of time

First off: I really love Descript for editing videos.

However, there are some quality of life (QOL) issues:

1. Can't easily do voiceover. It takes some backflips, and I can't watch the video while I'm doing the voiceover.
2. When I export to YouTube, if I type in a description, often there's a workflow where I end up having to add it 2-3 times as I log into YouTube (clears the custom description), switch export tabs (clears the custom description), etc. Please, please auto-save the custom description as I write it!
3. I'd like a quicker way to cut in the timeline. I can click on an area, hit S, then click on another spot, hit S, then click on the segment I want to delete, and hit backspace. I'd like to click, then maybe like command+click or something, and it auto-deletes between those points. Of course I can do that in the script and I do as often as I can, but still...

Easy to use!

The best for everything you may need fore content creation, marketing, podcasting or anything.
