   Very useful for editing scripts/interview videos.

   Coming from a video editing background, Descript might take some getting used to. But once you figure it out, it speeds up your editing (especially interviews/long-form voiceover). The captions are very nice to work with, but a bit limited in terms of styles. There are a lot more caption styles, transitions, and effects in CapCut, but Descript excels in simplicity and speed.

   The saved layouts (you can make your own) are very good if you want to create a bunch of videos on different topics with the same design scheme or branding.

   🏁 Competitors: CapCut, Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Riverside.fm

• how do you handle your podcasts transcription and timestamps

  For transcripts, I use Descript. Descript is able to identify all four of our panel members, and I usually spend an hour or so cleaning it up and setting the transcript into a video for YouTube. Source: about 3 years ago

• Does the US really not have anything like Canlii for searching text of cases? GLIN seems to be a private very small collection only up until 2010, LII seems to just search the Criminal Code? I must be missing something major, right?
