### Pros

"The web app makes it simple to access projects without installing heavy software, and the built-in tools for transcription and quick edits can save time."

"I appreciate how you can upload a full video on the descipt platform and it takes the best video clips for you."

"Go use Riverside.fm for the same thing for cheaper with better quality, better features, more customization, and reel format export."

### Cons

"We also stopped using Descript while they were investigating because we did not feel it was safe to keep working in the platform. If that one-month refund was meant to cover the time we could not use the service during the investigation, that still does not address the real damage."

"Support and engineering told us they checked their logs and only saw “creation → recording → transcription,” and they said they could not find proof the edits were ever made."

"I find that if you have larger files it may take longer to edit and may slow performance on your chrome book or an older computer."
