✓Conversational iteration ('make scene 3 longer') beats traditional timeline editing for speed
✓Multilingual AI voices in ~50 languages cover global content needs
✓API tier supports bulk variant generation for A/B testing and ad workflows

✗Stock footage palette starts feeling repetitive after extended use
✗AI voices lack the emotional nuance of dedicated tools like ElevenLabs
✗Free tier watermark is intentionally large and central — basically unusable for publishing
✗Output is best for short-form content; long-form documentary work still needs a real editor

✓Transcript-first editing is 3-5x faster than a traditional NLE for talking-head content
✓Underlord automates filler removal, chapters, and short clips in one action
✓Studio Sound rivals iZotope RX for one-click voice cleanup
✓Overdub voice cloning saves entire re-record sessions when you flub a word
✓Bundles remote multi-track recording (SquadCast) — no separate subscription

✗Heavy VFX, color, or motion graphics work still needs a real NLE like Premiere or DaVinci
✗AI credit / hour caps on the middle tiers can bite for daily creators
✗Overdub voice cloning is limited to the account holder, not arbitrary voices
✗Web app is functional but lags the desktop experience
