Reviews from past and current students

Detailed and Simplified!

Descript Beginner to Pro review

Overall, very good. It provided insight into features that would have taken a long time to discover. Thorough. A few lessons were a little rushed and appeared uneven. Slowing the playback time took care of that issue. Also, there were times when working to be inclusive a lesson would get a bit confusing. The drawbacks are minor in comparison to the overall benefit of the course. Thanks for the course! Am looking forward to seeing SquadCast included!

The Best Descript Course Hands Down

The thing I appreciate the most about the content is how relevant and hands on it is which makes it easy to adapt to whatever your editing tasks are. Within a month of making my way through the majority of the modules my employer asked me to edit audio & video for an online learning platform they were developing and I successfully edited 5 hours of digital lectures. I set up a workflow that allowed me to quickly and efficiently edit the lectures and management was the none the wiser as to how quickly I was able to get things done due to the things I learned in the course! Since then I've gone on to edit video for personal projects and small gigs. If you want to learn how to use Descript at the Pro level I don't think there's a better resource out there than this course.

What a helpful Course Cristi!

I'm new to video editing, and Descript is the Cat's Meow. But Christi takes it step by step - and yet wastes no time. Great instruction. Also, he responds quickly and carefully to comments here in the Club - as if he cares. He obviously does! :) Thank you Cristi.

From Classic to Storyboard

Great breakdown of the elements and completely understandable.

Descript for Beginners

Excellent thus far! Cristi takes time to dig into details and makes the course interesting too. Thank you. This is just what I've been looking for.
