This is a feature in most video editors and would come in handy for use in YouTube thumbnails and social media posts

Many filler words that are automatically removed result in a harsh cut of the audio. I would like an option that only removes filler words that can be cleanly removed. For example, if the filler word has a pause between the start and end of it.

Sometimes I need to stop or pause an upload because it was either a mistaken file, or I am using a bad internet connection and need to pause it to make my system useable, but I can't just close Descript because I still want to work on an existing composition.

Probably not so easy technically, but ideally, would like the software to give me the option of removing breathing sounds.

Please, this is huge for a lot of people!

In every new project I neet to set up caption's color, position, background, effects manually. It would be nice to have an option to Save and then Load caption's style. Forgive me if I missed something, I'm quite new to Descript. Still struggling.

Adding a column to display how many times a video has been viewed. Data currently displayed when you click on a link but not on dashboard.

The files which I want to use with Descript are not stored on my computer, but on Google Drive and OneDrive. It would be a real timesaver if I can add audio and video files straight from those storage locations.

I need a better way to split up my project into separate files for the purpose of creating audiobook chapters. I currently have to do this outside of Descript but it'd be MUCH easier and faster to do this within Descript during the export process by splitting up my project based on the timecode of each marker I place in my project. I also want those files to be named the same as the markers' names. I know there are softwares out there like Adobe Audition that has this functionality so wanted to ask if Descript can do this too. Thanks!

I'd love to be able to add/remove Studio Sound for portions of files and recordings. An example of when this might be useful is when Studio Sound doesn't have the desired outcome on sections of your recording. I'm working on a project now where I was tapping a book while I said something about it. Studio Sound did it's best to make this sound smooth, but it isn't perfect so it chopped up what I was saying. I don't want to remove studio sound from the whole file, just this 1 or 2 seconds where it didn't quite perform as we'd hope.
