It was so much easier to see the scenes and navigate them when they were big and in the sidebar. Now I have to hunt for them. Can you reinstate the sidebar as an option?

Hello, I saw on Descript that the timeline has been changed, and that the previous one will disappear in the future. There is, of course, still the option to go on Settings, General, and Labs to toggle it on or off, but please keep that toggle there. Your previous timeline is much more easier to use, this new one is very confusing and counter-intuitive. Keep that toggle with the option for the previous timeline and the new timeline, for all users to use Descript how they prefer. This is coming from someone who loves using Descript, so please keep the toggle option there for the two timelines. Thank you!

We seriously need to be able to zoom in on the viewport. I can't believe more people aren't talking about this. It's such a basic function any editor needs. & I'm not talking about making an actual clip larger, I'm talking about zooming in so I can see details better. And if you can already do this, someone please tell me cause I've never heard how on google or anything.

I'd like to be able to change the sample rate of the export so that I can have clips in the correct sample rate for Audition.

Descript should provide the option to export the current frame of a video as a PNG and other image formats.

So, a common screencast approach is to record a screencast, capturing voice/screen with multiple tries and allows. The edit that screencast to get the screen the way you want it, and then re-record the audio while playing the screen and the edited script which matches the timing of the screen cast. This is important as you may be highlighting lines of code or using the mouse to focus on items. Timing must match the screen. So, it would be handy to have a teleprompter that would play the script with that timing - and allow recording of face/audio. It should allow the text to be near the camera, and the playing video below, so the speaker knows what the viewers are seeing.

Select multiple visuals and manipulate them at once

As a paying member for years, you are making so many disruptive changes that I literally want to cancel. As soon as I get used the interface for recording, editing, you change it again. This is a poor business model and honestly pisses me off. You select a small group of beta testers, test the new layout for 3 months and then ANNOUNCE THE RELEASES and ask us if we want to go back to legacy view. This is outrageous for a company your size to make changes and not even give paying members an option to go back to legacy SO WE CAN GET BACK TO WORK!! Do you understand how disfunctional that is? STOPP!!!!!! Or I'm moving to Loom and will make COUNTLESS videos about this annoyance on my Tiktok and youtube channels. Be professional!!!!

I installed Descript after seeing some exciting video reviews. Your program has exactly the function I was looking for, namely the possibility to correct the transcription of an audio (or video) file and see it directly modified with the addition of phrases or words and without having to re-record the correct audio. But now I see that this function is not possible in Italian, can you confirm it for me? Can you tell me if you plan to implement Italian soon?

Apply your own LUTs to visuals in Descript.
