Descript
Video Editing as Easy as a Doc
★ Our Verdict
Descript completely changes how you edit video. If you can edit a Google Doc, you can edit a video. We use it for all our social clips—cutting out 'ums' and 'uhs' with one click is a lifesaver. It’s not a full replacement for Premiere Pro for complex VFX, but for talking head content and podcasts, it’s 10x faster.
