Yet another fantastic tutorial from Primal Video – fully comprehensive, efficient and entertaining Descript walk-through. Thanks so much, Justin!

[ScottJohnsonDiabetes]

Thanks for taking the time to run us through all of these features of Descript. Much appreciated!

Excellent tutorial and now I’m sold on Descript after this! Well, it was a warm sale because I am in a podcasting master class, and they had suggested that we all use it for editing of our podcasts, and I had no idea 🤷🏽‍♀️ that it had such capability like the eye Icontact functionality. Looking forward to using it and hopefully leveling up in our podcast! 😊

Really helpful as always - I had no idea how to add a jump cut just to one specific clip rather than the whole timeline. But learning in this video that I needed to make the video into scenes was the big breakthrough I needed - so simple but wasn't clearly explained by Descript, so thanks a lot!

I was searching for a descriptive tutorial, and your video appeared in the search results. Great timing!

On the effects it would be insane if they managed to work with Beeble's "SwitchLight" where they can relight a scene, I think it's gonna become truly revolutionary judging by the speed it's moving.

[DanKnowlson]

A great tutorial Justin, thank you. I've just started using Descript and this has really helped get me jumpstarted with my workflow

[SoniaLee-cd]

Well done! You are an excellent teacher

[marknicholson]

Hey Justin, I got into Descript after your very first video on it, and it is fantastic. My stuff is pretty speech heavy, so letting me edit a video as a text document is fantastic. It's really developing fast, and they've added a bunch of stuff I thought was lacking. However, more important is that they've added stuff I never knew I needed, like the dubbing capability and now eye tracking. It's a superb piece of work.

Hey Justin, have you faced an issue with the audio after applying "studio sound"? My audio ended up sounding like there was a lisp when I applied that feature, when actually there was no lisp at the time of recording. As soon as I removed the effect, the lisp went away as well. But I need to be able to use that feature to get rid of BG noise. Please help if you know anything about this.

How do I save a title that I can use multiple times? I want to transfer it from video to video. Thanks

[MarlenesHomeandGarden]

Very interesting Justin and a bit scary. LOL. Great job as usual. 😊

[affluencerealestategroup]

How did you get video on right hand side?

[HoundDogMech]

OK for talking heads but what about Real World Videos of Events such as a Bike rally or a scuba dive on a wreak, things that have no dialoged? Real World Events.

Hi Justin when people click on the Subscribe water mark I put ⁶on my videos YouTube algorithm do not recognized them. Are there a fix for that

Any copyright issue on using Descript stock musics?
I remember in your CapCut tutorial you told to avoid stock music in order to void copyright issues on Youtube.

I opened Riverside and within 5 min I was set up and recording first time ever using it. Been messing with descript for 30min and can’t even set up a built in webcam. Had to watch a tutorial and still can’t. Shouldn’t be this complicated.

[Sandroider]

I like to make Guy Ritchie like title scene, how to do it with my footage using AI?

[ODaughterofZionMinistries]

I need to hire someone to do this for me. It taken 2 hours to do 6 mins. I am learning but faster to hire someone.
