1. Descript 📹
   ‍
   
   Straight from Descript: "Descript is a collaborative audio/video editor that works like a doc. It includes transcription, a screen recorder, publishing, and some mind-bendingly useful AI tools."
   
   We use it for our podcast production for ourselves, and for clients.
   
   Did you know that 80% of consumers prefer watching a video to reading text??
   
   With numbers like that, video is clearly the more effective way to reach consumers.
   
   Video is more engaging, it converts better, and it adds a more human layer of connection for your audience.
   
   But making good video is hard, time consuming, and expensive – right?
   
   WRONG
   
   Descript makes powerful editing easy and collaborative.
   
   You can tell your story with video without an editing degree, without all the headaches.
   
   
   Reasons To Use Descript: 
   
   • Descript’s powerful screen recorder makes it perfect for product videos
   
   • Descript is built for teams. Think of it like google docs for your video creative.
   
   
   Tips for using Descript:
   
   • Since most videos on social media are watched on mute, you'll want to add subtitles to your video, Descript makes it easy add and style subtitles.
   
   
   What We Love About Descript:
   ‍
   • Filler Word Removal. With filler word removal, you can with the click of a button remove all the "uhm"-ing and "ah"-ing from your podcasts, giving you a clean professional sounding podcast.
   ‍
   • Speed Up The Video. You aren't limited to 1X speed on your podcast. Speed it up a little if you're a slow talker and worried that you're boring your audience with the pace, speed it up until you're speaking at a pace that is engaging, but understandable.
   ‍
   • Remove Large Gaps. If you stumble and forget what you wanted to say, pause, take a moment to think about it. You can always edit it out in post production with a few simple clicks, and your audience will be none the wiser.
   ‍
   • Hosted Links. Already published your video and noticed an error, or want to update it?
   So long as you posted it with a link to your Descript hosted video, any edits you make can be republished to that link, updating your video across all platforms at once. No need to go searching for it, and edit every blog post, or delete and repost tweets.

2. ‍Figma 🧑🎨
   ‍
   
   You're going to want to add graphic design elements to your videos.
   
   Figma is the ideal solution for this.
   
   Set up templates for different platforms.
   ‍
   
   For clients, we set up templates in different dimensions tailored to:
   
   • Youtube
   ‍
   • Youtube Shorts 
   ‍
   • Instagram Stories, Reels, IGTV
   ‍
   • Instagram Grid
   ‍
   
   And more..
   
   You'll want to create video covers, add graphic design elements into your videos, and use slides for call to actions, and more.

3. Adobe Premiere Pro 👨💻
   ‍
   
   Descript is great for fast, simple podcasting.
   
   For more complex edits you're going to want to load your Descript recorded podcast into Adobe Premiere Pro.
   
   Adding your Figma graphic design elements, audio clips (think background music, fade ins and outs), and more, becomes SUPER easy in Adobe Premiere Pro.
   
   You'll also be able to repurpose your content for different platforms, by using Sequence Presets to change the dimensions and more.
   
   That means your video shot in Landscape can be repurposed for Instagram Grid & Stories, and more.
   
   To ensure you're getting the most out of your content.
