Runway vs Descript: Video Creation for Non-Editors

Runway's gen-video effects vs Descript's transcript-first editing.

TL;DR - **Runway**: gen effects, rotoscoping, motion; cinematic experiments. - **Descript**: podcast/video editing via text; overdub; filler removal. Tips - In Descript, **record → transcribe → edit text**; export reels. - In Runway, storyboard **shots** then apply effects scene by scene. > Graphic idea: text-based edit vs timeline + effects flow.
