so true. descript for the rough cut for the win, then take it to a real video editor for the polish.

[@ShawnPark]

I agree 100% with everything you said here, Meredith. I use Descript for a quick and easy edit, and then I send it over to ScreenFlow to finalize my edit. I do love the “Studio Sound” option in Descript. It makes my audio sound so professional. 😎

[@meredithmarsh]

Yes!!

[@tube-master]

Descript is a gamechanger for recording and editing videos in like a doc. Especially if you are a non native English speaker!

[@faithdey]

I felt the same way about scenes! 😂 Doc rough cuts then over to PP for sure! 👍🏼

[@MrsPTarleton]

Thank you Meredith for this video. Camtasia has added a similar paid feature to it's editor. After trying it seemed it wasn't worth it.
I am searching for a program that does face tracking with stickers or images and how to use face filters...if you have any videos or recommendations. Thank you again for the video.

[@RobPerkins]

Hi! Another great video. Thank you. Can you video mask a portion of your screen in Descript? For example if I wanted to make my boom mic vanish and replace it with a little mask of locked off video or still of the background behind it.

[@meredithmarsh]

Thanks Rob! I haven’t tried masking. I think you could but I’m not totally sure!

[@billsmith7423]

Way too much “tell”… not enough “show”. So much for the “How to…”

[@meredithmarsh]

Thanks for your feedback, Bill 👍
