Which one should you pick?
Descript
A genuine workflow change for talking-heavy content. For visually driven editing a conventional timeline is still better.
- Podcast and interview editing
Runway
The most complete option if video is your actual job. If you just need a short clip occasionally, the per-second cost makes cheaper tools more sensible.
- Professional video and advertising production
