Descript Reviews

   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: about 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

• Needing some assistances

  Edit your audio with software like Descript or Audacity. Source: about 4 years ago

• Video snippit of your episode text animation recommendations

  Looks like an 'audiogram' from descript.com - you can make them on their paid service. Source: about 4 years ago

• Temporal in Production: Sharp Edges & Good Practices

  When a team moves from a monolith into microservices and event-driven, asynchronous systems, it inherits a class of problems that used to be someone else's: work that fails halfway through, steps that must not run twice, calls that return before the work is done. Temporal is a durable execution engine that handles a lot of this - you define a multi-step process, and it guarantees the process runs to completion... - Source: dev.to / 4 days ago

• Your Agent Bills While It Waits. Here's the Fix.

  Durable execution — the pattern implemented by Temporal, Inngest, Rivet Actors, and now Cloudflare Workflows — treats waiting as a continuation rather than a loop:. - Source: dev.to / 9 days ago

• Compiler as Custodian

  Two specific moves stand out in Duncan's account. The first is durable execution, via Temporal — Mercury replaced fragile cron-and-database state machines with workflow code whose failure semantics are platform-handled (replay, retry, timeout, cancellation). Mercury open-sourced its hs-temporal-sdk, which wraps Temporal's official Rust Core SDK via FFI and provides a Haskell-native API. The dovetail with Haskell's... - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• How we turned our workflow editor into a real SDK

  We picked Temporal as the first reference engine on purpose. Temporal has the strictest execution model we know of – a V8 sandbox, determinism constraints, replay-driven recovery. If our port contract holds up against that, easier engines – an in-memory test double, a BullMQ queue, or JSON-first platforms like Inngest or Restate – plug in through the same two interfaces. We're shipping Temporal first; the rest is... - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago

• Three days debugging a missing trace

  The trick is to find whatever metadata channel the queue already gives you and use that and thankfully, almost every mature queue has one (probably because of this scenario). SQS has message attributes, Temporal has context propagators built into the SDK, and Hatchet (which we use to run our workflows) has a metadata field called additionalMetadata. - Source: dev.to / 3 months ago
