Descript vs Riverside vs Zencastr (NEW SquadCast demo!)

[@Trulitica-Founder]

Pete, this video was exactly what I was looking for. Making video courses online that I will later host on Kajabi. Will also be watching your Descript tutorials. Thanks so much!

[@mindful__gardener]

What ome do you use to make videos for kajabi?

[@Trulitica-Founder]

@@mindful__gardener - I ended up going with Teachable instead. Better UI in my opinion. I used Descript to record/edit.

[@toddtalk1775]

Pete, what an awesome overview of these podcasting/editing platforms. Watching your video was a great intro to the workflow for Squadcast > Descript. Thanks so much!

[@robogle59]

That was great! Wow! Descript is amazing and I look forward to trying out Squadcast soon!

[@robogle59]

Also, how do you record your video? Is it always direct into Descript (only 1080) or do you do it on your camera at 4k and then upload? Thanks in advance.

[@ZerotoMillionaire.123]

Great video Pete! Thank you my man!

[@gregdudzinski-detroitslove2129]

Thanks so much! Great, ok, Amazing take! Was using SY for a long time, and was looking to try squadcast or zencastr. Keep hearing horror stories about riverside and theri live is still only 720p.

[@soramkhalsa6516]

Excellent and what I wad looking for ! Thank you !

[@highflyerenglish]

Great video, Pete. Thanks so much. I've been using Descript for some time now and love and just about to start experimenting with Sqquadcast. Two questions: 1) as host can you share screen like you can in Zoom? 2) When using Zoom, I use breakout rooms so participants can practise in pairs (I'm and English teacher. Squadcast has a Green Room. Apaort from being able to listen, are the people in the Green Room inactive? Thanks in anticipation.

[@MarianaTraxel]

I love your video! Thank you so much for nailing it down. And THANK YOU BIG TIME for not using bg music ❤❤

[@DoYouEvenBlog]

You are so welcome!

[@STARTWITHSLEEP]

Thank you! Great information. It was everything I needed to know to make my decision.

[@chessedwards]

Well done. Thank you!! I need to see if Squadcast allows for Audience call in. I need audience members to be able to join the call with their questions.

[@acoupleofradtechs]

Great video review! Descript Clips was amazing! I had never used it, but love it!

[@PodcastBEHAS]

Thank you, it was very helpful.

[@albertotroccoli1282]

This is really useful, thank you Pete @DoYouEvenBlog. I was just wondering why you didn't consider Podcastle, as, by the look of it (though I'm not an expert), it seems very competitive with Squadcast?

[@nolow_life]

I suggest an early description of things like "s tier" for viewers that aren't your regular viewers. Im 1/4 way thru and idk if S is good or bad

[@tropicvibes]

same here haha

[@TimWoods42]

I had to Google it too. "'S' tier may stand for "Special", "Super", or the Japanese word for "Exemplary" (秀, shū), and originates from the widespread use in Japanese culture of an 'S' grade for advertising and academic grading" (Wikipedia).

[@austinconroyacoustic-ie4wt]

@@TimWoods42 Thanks Tim! I was confused.

[@RoseForChange]

This was so helpful! Thank you!

[@therealprguy]

Lovin ya work Pete! Good job!

[@loxygirl6971]

Brilliant video, thanks 🙏🏽🙂

[@axlentertainment8658]

Thanks for the video. Very insightful. Any thoughts on Podcastle?

[@joemiller9856]

Riverside has been very dependable for me. Transfer from riverside to descript is seamless including multitrack. I use descript for editing which has great editing and the scenes features are great. I’m still not ready to jump to descript for everything. I tend to get 90% there with descript but things get jacked up which is very frustrating. Just used riverside for social clips .. so good!

[@justmelodetroit]

What did you use to record this video?

[@studenthousinginsight8916]

Where is the link to the google sheet?

[@KGCARO24]

What camera are you using

[@tullyriverquail]

Riverside just released a huge update. I would like to see a new comparison if it made a difference. I like the new updates riverside just announced... more like a rebuild than an update. But im new to all of this.

[@IEMedia]

Hey thank you for this in depth video, The only thing I’m stuck on is Descript not having 4k, Question is if I’m using a 4k camera is it going to be that noticeable only recording in 1080 once blown up on say a 4k television?

[@SquadCastfm]

This is...AWESOME!

[@foursite]

This is the best review!!! You really answered all my questions. I appreciate it!

[@foodmonsterweightloss5886]

Riverside has the teleprompter feature which is great for training videos. I've checked the others you talk about here but can't fine any reference to a teleprompter. Do you know if that is available?

[@MrGheller]

Thank you for the video. Can you do screen recording with Descript the way it’s done on Loom or Tella?

[@DoYouEvenBlog]

Yes! Descript has a nice screen recording tool, if that’s what you’re asking.

[@MrGheller]

@@DoYouEvenBlog Do you have a video comparing Tella vs Descript? Or Descript vs Loom? (for screen recording)

[@gregdudzinski-detroitslove2129]

oh, here's another question? What about squadcast destinations?

[@DhirenDukhu]

This is very helpful. I have been using Riverside and it hangs, lags while editing, essentially wasting a lot of time.

[@drwahan]

Great video. I am not happy with Riverside.. in descript can you have jpegs or mp4 video files in a media board type place… so they can be pulled up in real time during a podcast solo or with a remote guest. Example- pull up a meme or video and both guests see and can chat over it

[@KristianHaas]

This great video convinced us to try Squadcast, but we ran into a issue that may be particular to our needs. Has anyone had issues using Squadcast to record a video interview with an international guest? We have tried multiple times with 7 minute interviews where the audio of our guest (in Kenya with a reasonably ok internet speed) was not captured. Is Riverside better for video recording with international guests where internet speeds contrast? Or does anyone have other suggestions of how we can fix this issue.

[@juliegroth3427]

Can you merge video only with audio recorded in Audacity when using Descript?

[@acceleration_point]

Does Squadcast offer asynchronous recording or teleprompter?

[@DoYouEvenBlog]

Teleprompter, no. I’m not sure what you mean by the other thing.

[@Zukunftsstark]

I tried to use Descript/Squadcast for remote interviews. I have a big sound drift. Unfortunally it is not linear, so I can´t fix it easy. It is more like pumping over the entire track, desyncing, resyncing, desyncing and so on... it is a total nightmare...

[@pleasertoleader]

nice man

[@BeltranMedia]

Wish I has see this before subscribing to the annual riverside. Considering canceling . No sure whaat will happen. They keep my $$ etc

[@ucsbchui]

I wish they have Mandarin Chinese transcription!

[@KevinShepardColoradoRealEstate]

why is s tier more reliabel then A I'm curious and ocnfused.

[@qualifierfilms]

S tier is so confusing. Why not just stick to a letter grade?

[@sydswaine3627]

WTH is A tier vs B Tier?

[@maricelp116]

.... the ultimate battle.

[@clarkpetion305]

Riverside is absolutely TERRIBLE!!!! I've had back to back syncing issues. I'm here because I'm looking to replace. Audio files fail over and over.

[@EnglishScore]

Nothing user friendly in descript.

[@agsvk-com]

Thanks! How do you create your Jump Links in the description?
