Feature Requests

I am a business English teacher, and I would like to highlight certain words in the "Audiogram" layout so that I can draw attention to the words that my clients are learning. It can be as simple as a BOLD function, but another colour would be nice. Thanks

You missed the mark on this feature! I don't have any compelling business reason to upgrade to business plan. I have 2 users and we use Descript regularly - and fall well within all the usage limits. It's great and I love it. A big pain point is the difficult of customizing layout packs with brand colors - and the only way to get it is via the Business plan - which has nothing else that I need. I'm tempted to upgrade and then downgrade just to build a Branded layout packs - but that doesn't serve any of us. Just saying that I think you missed the mark when you launched Brand Kits but didn't include you core group of subscribers (Creators)

The newest update removed the ability to overwrite or update saved layouts. Now you can only save new layouts. I use Descript to edit podcasts, and rely on the ability to overwrite existing layouts as small changes are needed based on the framing of guests which changes every episode. It would be incredibly inconvenient and wasteful to create brand new layouts and delete outdated versions each time I edit a new episode, but that is my only option with the new update.

Could the process of creating and editing templates be a bit more streamlined? Currently, when I want to make an edit to a template or layout, it's a little confusing as to if I'm saving over a previous template or creating a new one from scratch. And some templates don't populate all the elements correctly. I'd love a bit of an overhaul for templates and layouts to make it more straightforward and user-friendly :)

the text can only ever be able 3 inches across, it is always double spaced, and you can't zoom out on the text. meaning you can only see a very small part of the composition at any given time, which mentally makes it much harder to edit a narrative.

Tiktok posts

Can you please create a layout pack for insta/twitter/TikTok? Where the safe area view is highlighted so it is much easier to edit videos.

PLEASE could you consider adding a feature that converts two-person landscape videos into portrait, automatically? I'm tired of paying for Opusclip just for this one feature.

We do a podcast that exports and could have 2 or 3 different people on the same video. Would be nice to have a template where one video could be used in multiple view ports without having to upload it multiple times. Like Vidyo.ai does
