yes multicam is a headache omg clicking through chopping it up twice!

[bossvision]

yes chopping the video is so time consuming

[onlinebusinesalexhurschler]

I don't know because I still use Apple. What about a separate sound that I recorded in Rodecaster? Can I simply combine it with the video like with Apple with one click?

[JayfkProductions]

Feel like this only works for Podcasters or Just linear tasks, as a musician creating videos it's super important to skim thru & figure out the takes

Hello maam. Thank you. Can I edit J CUT in Descript?

[Fluffy_Bunny_Cosmetics]

I just dont like Descript because half the features are buggy and dont even work.

[bossvision]

also after you said give this video a thumbs up youtube highlighted thumbs up super cool!

[designmorsels]

Wow interesting. Didn’t know you could edit as you record.

I am a professional video editor.but, i didn't think discript is better then fcpx.

I love descript but I wish it used the snapchat filters like OBS does. It would be amazing if I could make it really spooky with a background and then me talking. There are so many cool things I can use coming out. I wish more people visited the channel so they could see them. I'll never give up FCP though because there are so many filters I can use that are better than what descript has for now.

Thanks Meredith, and congrats on all the content you've been pumping out these days - really good stuff! Call me old-fashioned, but I'm still using Screenflow because it's the only screen capture tool that I know of that supports a multi-channel audio interface. As a pro musician, one simply can't use something like Descript or Camtasia or any of the others until they allow multi-camera, real-time screencasting, AND support for multi-channel audio interfaces where it can split at least 8 channels of audio coming in from a single interface or mixing board. I would LOVE to use Descript - it's just not there for me personally (or pro musicians/YouTubers). For 99% of the rest of the world, I think it would work just fine. Hopefully, Descript will create that feature someday too for us musician types...

I've been using descript and it is amazing how quickly you can edit as you go. The only limitations that I see are the lack of integrations with external transitions... unless I'm missing something. Or graphics like lower thirds. The one extra thing you should explore is overdub. The training on your voice is really good!!

Hello. I am new to Descript. I am in need of AI eye contact feature. Can you do a video or speak about it please?

[GeMintsports]

I’m a total newb and your videos are really providing a lot of help. I’m still at about a 2/10 skill level, but am gradually improving. Thanks!

[DarrenM]

Wait whaaaat.. Descript is so powerful.

[ServantStatusMinistries]

I love Descript but if you want to do some heavy video editing and have a ton of effects and transitions be sure to not have a lot of browser tabs open because it will lag and lag when editing 1hr long videos. Podcasts are okay but adding media it can creep.

[toygorilla]

I use a cam and an external mic and currently edit the audio in Timebolt and then export as a multicam clip to FCPX where I add the cam and sync it to the audio. Is there a way of doing something similar in Descript? Thanks

[timfairfield]

didnt know about ignore. I will be using that one Thanks

[aracelyaraiza]

Wow the more I learn about Descript the more I think I should use it for my online courses and maybe even the podcast. I’m using Davinci Resolve 18 to edit my videos, it’s awesome but too complex.

Thanks for the info! 😊

[kyrareneeLOA]

I am in such appreciation of your clarity on using descript. Thank you!😊
