Feature Requests

running latest version on windows 11. I've noticed this for a long time. The drop shadow effect does not function properly on a PNG image. Should be an easy fix. Thank you.

Please add glow effect to subtitles

Apply your own LUTs to visuals in Descript.

Hello! 1st I would just like to say that I love the Underlord features. Now the issue. There is a new preset template in the captions called Typewriter in the captions. But there, the words animate one at a time, instead of the letters animating one at a time. I would like the ability to have the letters revealed one at a time to emulate a typewriter effect. Thanks

If I want to blur 10 seconds on a screen share video, it would be nice to have an easier way to blur that for simple single layer videos.

Support gradients not just solid colors as a fill type

I've switched from Camtasia to Descript. One feature in Camtasia that Descript could benefit from is a set of prepackaged LUTs a user could select from to colorize a scene (or apply to the entire video). Even if you don't shoot in LOG, applying a LUT - for example, one that specifically adds more contrast or one to warm up the tone etc. can make a big difference.

Much like you now change were the eyes are looking, could you sync the lip movement with past examples of that word being spoken?

Copy effects and paste on a different object. Also saving those styles for future use would be nice. I know you can kind of do with a template but there are times in which creating templates for all situations is difficult or time consuming so having certain styles would be helpful to deploy on any item.

Manually adjusting every single clip is killing efficiency. We need a way to save and apply presets for effects (shadow/ blur/ color adjustments), Ken Burns, scaling, and positioning in one click. This would massively speed up workflows for editors. Please make this happen!
