Have you reached out to Descript? I think it’s electron based, they might be able to package a mostly working version.
I'll try reaching out, thanks!
Reached out (posted on their feedback site). Linux has been requested since 4 years ago so not high priority by the looks. With other issues I've been having I may move away from it soon if they're not resolved.
Wine or a KVM might be options. Blender can do everything except the transcription. There's probably other software or a plugin that can do that.
Thanks! I thought Blender was for making 3D animations? Didn't realise you can use it for video editing. I can potentially use Whisper for transcriptions.
To build off of the previous commenter. (kind of a gamer centric answer) but if you have steam installed you might try running it as a non-steam game with proton enabled in the properties.
I find that this frequently works for a lot of windows applications that I've tried. (or you can try this with lutris as well)
It's not the most feature rich video editor. There are other options. It's a capable software/hammer than I reach for often whenever something resembles a nail.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
