Google Vids has some helpful features, but Descript’s text-based editing and wildly useful AI make it the superior choice for teams that want to produce a lot of video. And it requires no Googling, because you already know how to use it.
These companies use Descript. Not bad!
From easy-to-use text-based editing, to an AI assistant that can help make your video dreams come true, Descript helps you scale video faster than Google Vids ever could.
If you know how the backspace key works, or how to copy-and-paste, then you know how to make video in Descript. Unlike Google Vids, Descript uses text-based editing, which makes editing video as fast as typing in a doc.
