<b>Descript vs Premiere for talking-head Shorts</b>

Talking-head is the most common Shorts format. Editing flow matters most.

Descript ($24/mo):
— Pros: delete filler words and 'ums' by deleting text, Studio Sound cleans bad audio, fast
— Cons: not frame-precise, transitions are basic, soft exports

Premiere ($22.99/mo):
— Pros: total control, sharp export, Enhance Speech rivals Studio Sound
— Cons: slow to cut talking-head, overkill for 60 seconds

Verdict: Descript wins for speed on talking-head — text-based editing is a real time saver. Premiere only if you need frame-perfect cuts.

Not for you if you obsess over exact frames — Descript will frustrate you. Pick Descript for talking-head speed.
