Descript's edit-by-editing-the-transcript workflow is a genuinely different, faster way to cut podcasts and videos than scrubbing a timeline, and its Overdub/AI voice filler-word removal saves real editing time. It's less suited to heavy motion-graphics or complex multi-track video work than Premiere or Final Cut.
