Current Pain:

The Layouts system feels:

Confusing (what’s a layout vs a scene vs a template?)

Slow to load

Hard to save and re-apply our own custom layouts.

Quick Design applies default fonts and styles that we always end up changing to match our brand.

Impact:

We don’t have a reliable way to say: “Use our brand style everywhere.”

Editors spend time fixing design decisions instead of editing content.

Requests / Ideas:

Brand-Aware Quick Design

Let us define brand templates (fonts, colors, lower-thirds, caption styles).

Quick Design should:

Respect those brand settings by default.

Never override them with generic fonts/styles unless explicitly chosen.

Clear “Scene Types” / Layout Types

We tend to have consistent scene patterns:

Full-screen talking head

Talking head + slides

Talking head + B-roll

Allow us to define these as named scene types and:

Apply them quickly

Have Quick Design build a video by cycling through our own scene types, not random/default layouts.

Easier Save & Reapply Layouts

Make it obvious how to:

Save the current arrangement as a reusable layout/template.

Apply that layout to other scenes or projects.

Reduce latency in the Layouts panel so it feels responsive.
