Descript Is the Secret Sauce to Our Video-Editing Workflow

At Icon City, we don’t just talk tech — we build with it. When it comes to producing long-form content that actually gets seen and heard, Descript is one of our most important tools. Whether it's editing our weekly podcast, cutting together a full-length docu-series, or prepping social clips from a recorded interview, Descript is at the center of the action.

And the best part? You don’t have to be a full-time editor or creative director to use it. Interns, entry-level producers, and even our budget-conscious clients can get value out of Descript right away.

But listen closely: If you want Icon City to support your project, you must sign up using our exclusive link:

That’s the gateway.

Why We Use Descript (and Why You Should Too)

Descript makes editing as easy as editing a Google Doc. Upload your video or audio, and it instantly creates a transcript. You can literally cut out “ums,” “ahs,” and awkward moments just by deleting the text.

We use it for:

• Editing full podcast episodes

• Producing long-form video content

• Creating short-form social clips

• Voiceover corrections using Overdub (AI-powered voice cloning)

• Generating captions, show notes, and summaries

It’s fast. It’s collaborative. And it’s affordable.
