way to automatically delete assets if they aren't used to reduce size of project

When I use Descript stock video, I like to use several shots of the same actor or scene to keep my voice over fresh and engaging. Currently, when I search for a video, I get a myriad of videos back, all with different actors and in different scenes. I'd LOVE to, after selecting a video, to see ALL other videos that include that actor, or that are from the same collection Something like how is done on https://filmpac.com/ or https://stock.adobe.com/ for example

Would like a function that allows searching across drive, and allow for metadata addition in publishing dialogue box.

I currently subscribe to Adobe Stock and Storyblocks. I'm used to viewing stock video in full screen. Presently in the beta, I can only see a very small image of the available stock assets. It means that I have to download/apply to see if the asset works. Might it be possible to make the viewer window larger or resizable?

Sometimes I find great stock media but I keep exploring just to be safe. When I want to go back to one of the earlier assets I found, I can forget what my query was. A "back" button would be great to follow my breadcrumbs

Need better filtering options for stock media. For example, images and videos should be filterable by landscape vs portrait. Audio REALLY NEEDS a duration filter. The amount of time I spent sifting through audio clips looking for intro music that's less than 15 seconds is crazy.

The ability to add images by URL to save time and hard disk space.

Insta360 Webcams use AVI format. But DeScript won't accept it. So I have to use Camtasia instead. Would be nice if DS could accept this format as well.

How I use Descript: I record a presentation in Canva. In canva I create the slides. Then export the mp4 to descript and have it analyze and transcribe. Problem: Multi-steps involved. Uploading the video presentation represents only 1 single scene. Request: I would love to see the ability for the platform to accept uploads of PPT or PDF files, where each page of the PDF represents a new scene. If this feature was created I would leave pre-recording my presentations in canva and begin using Descript to record me presenting the information.
