   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

  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

• Learn AutoHotKey by stealing my scripts

  We built Text Blaze [0] a Chrome Extension [1] that supports a lot of similar capabilities. It lets you do text expansions on any website using hotkeys, include dynamic values like the date a week from today in your snippets, build form UI's [2], and include dynamic logic using formulas and if-statements [3] (it uses a dynamic reactivity model for formula's similar to spreadsheets).

• LinkedIn is depressing

  Hey everyone! I couldn't help but notice the top post about the decline in LinkedIn engagement. It's funny how LinkedIn has evolved over the years, right? 😄 I mean, it started as a professional networking platform, and now it's like Facebook and Tinder had a baby that wears a suit and tie. 👔💼 But let's not forget that LinkedIn still has its merits, especially when it comes to job hunting and professional...

I totally agree with you on the importance of patience and time when starting a business. 💯 One thing that stood out to me was when you mentioned getting 100 kids to make events on Facebook and invite all their friends. That's some serious hustling and networking skills! 😎 It just... Source: about 3 years ago

• What questions would you ask if you get a 20 minute slot with a C level product officer from one of the FAANG companies?

  Hey u/EbtihajKhan! That's an amazing opportunity to chat with a C-level product officer from a FAANG company. 🚀 One question I'd ask is, "How do you balance innovation and user experience while maintaining a competitive edge in the market?" It's interesting to note that according to a PwC survey, 94% of executives consider innovation as a top priority, but only 35% believe their organizations are good at it.... Source: about 3 years ago
