Descript is a popular, powerful editor, and plenty of podcasters love it. If you're weighing up your options, here's how Edit The Pod approaches the same job, so you can pick what suits the way you work.
What they have in common
Both let you edit by editing the words: cut a sentence from the transcript and the audio and video go with it. If that's the way you like to work, you'll feel at home in either.
Where Edit The Pod is different
- The edit's already done when you open the episode. The filler words, false starts and long gaps are cut while it processes, so you start by checking the edit rather than making it.
- Multicam from one camera. Shoot a single 4K wide shot and Edit The Pod cuts between close ups and the wide for you. Got more cameras? That works too.
- No AI credits. Every plan includes everything, and the only thing counted is the minutes you upload.
- Audio Enhancement is built in, so every episode comes out cleaned up and levelled for the podcast apps.
- The Publish Pack writes your titles, show notes, chapters, social post and blog post from the edited episode, in your own style.
- Made by a broadcaster with more than three decades in broadcasting, for people who'd rather be making the show than editing it.
Who it suits
If you love building an edit from scratch with lots of creative tools, Descript is a great choice. If you'd rather upload, check the edit and publish, Edit The Pod is built for exactly that.
