Thanks for this! It was really helpful to see a step-by-step tutorial and seeing in the storyboard mode was helpful too! I finally got used to classic and now it's storyboard 🤦🏻‍♀️. But seeing you edit in action helps.

[@podmahal]

Of course! I’m glad it was helpful to watch the editing. Let me know if there are any other areas in descript you’d like to see me breakdown. Happy to make a video on it

[@EnElPublishingWashington]

Very Good tutorial... please do a deep dive on how to turn podcast clips into content for IG, TikTok, Shorts. Much appreciated!!!

[@podmahal]

That’s my specialty! Can’t wait to make this for you. It does require a separate deep dive bc there’s so many features available now to help with this. Thanks for the suggestion🙌🏽

Your page looks different than mines. How did you get there? On my page there are no navigation pane on the left side.

[@podmahal]

Most likely because of new updates. There’s so many since this video. They just dropped another one where it changes up the navigation a bit. Will make another video!

Hi Pod, I'm looking for someone to teach me the basic operations of the video editing software Descript. I have hours of podcasts and I'm looking for simple edits such as cleaning up the filler words, Overdub, cleaning up my speech and text, I know Descript is a pretty powerful tool where I can do many of these things quickly so I'd like someone to hold my hand and work with me to help me learn to do these edits. I would share my screen with you and you would walk me through how to make the desired edits I need. These projects will be formatted for KZbin, clips for TikTok, KZbin Shorts, IG Reels, FB, etc. Are you available to contract for a couple of hours to teach me the basics one-on-one? Thanks for your consideration. Cynthia

Hi Cynthia! This is is exactly the kind of thing I help with. We could do a few coaching sessions where you get a recorded version afterwards. Along with a transcript of our session in case you wanna skim or watch back at any point. I can also take over your screen during certain parts in the session to make sure we make the most out of our time together. Shoot me an email to [e-mail] I’d love to connect on this!
