Feature Requests

I opened the software up and the "skip left & skip right" buttons that were next to the Play button on the Timeline are gone. Please bring them back. 80% of my editing is in the Timeline, and having those buttons made my workflow TEN TIMES easier. Now I can't quickly go back to the beginning of the script while editing. So, if possible, please bring those buttons back. Thanks for your time.

Being able to select an actual camera as the 'cutaway' would be super helpful in projects that are a typical of an in-person 3 camera podcast, where the 3rd camera is a wide 2-shot. This could be added to the Camera setup settings where you select the Cutaway camera to be either "split screen" or a track like the other camera option selector. Thanks!

perhaps I'm doing something wrong, but it would be great to be able to drag bits of clips to different layers if I have different speakers in a file or if I've messed up and recorded to the wrong "layer" being able make a blank layer and be able to drag and drop would sort that.

We need Audio level decibel bars to see if we are peaking or not!!!

I think there are a number of ways that Descript can make crossfading easier. These would include making the little circle for manually creating one on the timeline bigger, creating a hotkey for auto-crossfading two clips together with a preset fade length, or automatically crossfading clips once filler words are removed. Crossfading is a key part of the editing process and is what I spend most of my time doing when I use Descript.

Currently I use 1 video with 2 seperate audio sources. It would be nice to be able to zoom in on my face and on the other speakers face and have it switch between people when they are speaking automatically. Multicam is very complicated at the moment.

Allow user ability to select multiple elements in timeline at once with shift or cmd or drag

In classic, we could easily and quickly scroll through the clips after a bulk “shorten word gaps” and just add transitions like a breeze. I don't know what's the reason of not including the clip inspector in the new version, but it's not a bright one. Bring it back, please.

I like being able to see the entire timeline, a traditional video editors offer this as a command. Shift-Z in FCP, \ in Premiere Pro Please a feature like this would be really welcome.

Make it so we can edit audio in multitrack sequences on the timeline and not just in (Edit sequence screen) So we can adjust volume and mute selected sections in the timeline. Bonus include the settings of audio into the scene (save) feature, so audio stays consistent across scenes. (SEE ATTACHMENT FOR VISUAL)
