   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.

• 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: over 3 years ago

• looking for video editor that auto cuts conversations

  I don't understand exactly what you are trying to do, but I'm pretty sure Descript can do what you want. Source: over 3 years ago

• What is your preferred way to make a voice-over?

  I tried to use descript.com but found out that they didn't have a download for Linux and that their online version doesn't allow you to edit your transcript. Source: almost 4 years ago

• Gym reccs in First/Capitol Hill

  One option I've had friends try out is ClassPass, but I personally haven't done it. You pay a monthly fee then get to go to different gyms and try activities out until you find a sport you like. Source: about 4 years ago

• Any hobby group recommendation for a late 20 or mid 30 female to meet new friends?

  My wife told me this week she's getting 1 month free at the ClassPass site (https://classpass.com/). She's used it before, and if I understand correctly, you put in a credit card and subscribe for 1 month free, book 3 free classes in any of the places listed... And then unsubscribe so you don't have to pay? Don't ask me how that works, I know she doesn't pay and attend some free or really cheap classes. Just pay... Source: about 4 years ago

• About the need to reinvent a culture of the body (mostly, a rant)

  If you live in a city where Classpass is available, I found it helpful for easily trying out new studios without committing to anything until I found a studio that didn't shame people for their size or ability. There are a lot of places that use negative reinforcement to push people to "work out harder" to the detriment of their bodies which even in the middle of my eating disorder I began to see through and start...

• Beginner personal trainers/workout classes?

  You could also try out Class Pass which gives you access to lots of studio fitnesses classes and gyms around the area so you can pick and choose what seems interesting without committing to one particular place. I think Class Pass can give you both access to local gyms like Mesh Fitness and then also the specific class studios like SoulCycle and stuff. Source: over 4 years ago

• Were any of you touch starved?

  Absolutely. For most of my life I was way too vulnerable physically/financially to access these tools for healing and recovery, and when I was finally more settled I was blown away by how exponentially my healing sped up. In case it is helpful to you: if they're available in your area, the app ClassPass often does some really deep discounting when you first sign up or when they're running a promo--I take advantage...
