What’s the best video tutorial maker?
Descript is the best video tutorial maker in the world. We could make an entire tutorial explaining why Descript is the best video tutorial maker, but that would be like using a mirror to prove mirrors work. Let's just say if you're reading this FAQ, you've come to the right place.

I’m not a tutor. Can I still make tutorials?
Yes. Recent technological advances have loosened the tutor-industrial complex’s stranglehold on tutorial making. Descript’s text-based editing and time-saving AI have made it easy for non-tutors to create, perfect, and share video tutorials, opening up new ways of sharing knowledge and consigning former tutors to the gig economy.
How do I become a tutor?
