Description: Please add an option to use our own LLM API key with Underlord, including support for a custom Base URL and model selection. Underlord can consume a significant amount of AI credits even for relatively simple prompts. Allowing users to connect their own LLM provider would make Underlord much more flexible and cost-effective, especially for users who already have API credits with providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, or compatible APIs. Ideally, the settings could include: API Key Base URL Model name Provider selection Optional usage limits This would allow users to choose when to use Descript AI credits and when to use their own API credits, significantly improving cost control and making Underlord more useful for power users.

Allow users to group multiple layers together. Use case: Animation can be added to group layers to allow simultaneous movement.

I love that you have provided a way to enhance our appearance like in Zoom. But my experience is the skin smoothing function completely ruins my video. Once applied, the video is jolty. It gets stuck while the audio plays on. And nothing changes when you turn it off. You can't fix it. Why are you offering an editing tool that ruins the product? Your virtual support bot says I can't talk to an agent about it. It wouldn't be so bad if the editing tool could be reversed but it seems that it can't. Now I am left having to start all over and re-edit my whole video.

Creating clear and useful content is an important part of communicating with potential customers. A saas cold email outreach agency https://thecoldemailagency.co.uk/ often needs a consistent way to organize messaging and keep communication relevant. One challenge is making every message sound natural rather than repetitive or overly scripted. For teams producing outreach content, time management can make a noticeable difference. Writing several versions of a message requires attention to tone, clarity, and audience needs. Small improvements in the editing process can help teams maintain consistency across different campaigns. Content creation tools can also make collaboration easier. When several people review the same material, clear feedback helps prevent unnecessary revisions. A shared workflow can make it simpler to identify confusing sentences and improve the final message. Another useful consideration is how content is adapted for different audiences. A message intended for a technical team may need a different approach from one written for business owners. Keeping the main idea consistent while adjusting the wording can improve readability. Editing tools are especially useful when teams work with scripts, recordings, and written drafts. Being able to revise content without restarting the entire process saves time. It also allows creators to focus more on the quality of the message. Feedback from actual users can reveal where a workflow feels unnecessarily complicated. Even a small interface improvement can make repeated tasks easier to complete. Organizing suggestions clearly also helps product teams understand which problems affect users most. Ultimately, efficient communication depends on both good writing and practical tools. A straightforward workflow gives teams more time to focus on meaningful conversations. Sharing specific feedback about everyday challenges can help software become more useful for everyone.

Allow users to display two subtitle languages simultaneously in the same video, with independent styling and positioning for each language. For example, Portuguese as the primary subtitle and English as the secondary subtitle, displayed on separate lines. This is essential for language-learning content. Although Descript supports translation, it currently lacks an intuitive way to display both languages together, forcing educators to use external video editors.

There should be a way to zoom in and out easily and copy and paste the attributes to the next clip OR have them move over to it. Example: A screen demo video that you zoom in but want to cut out a part. The clip that's cut goes back to the original sizing and you can't easily copy and paste to size it to the last zoom in. Everyone in the Descript User facebook group takes it into a different editor to zoom in and that seems ridiculous. Thanks!

When editing screen recordings, it is critical to enlarge some areas of the screen to ensure the text is readable. A zoom box displays a portion of the viewport at a scale. A zoom box can be rectangular or circular with a border and shadow to visually separate it from the video in the background. Without this feature the team would not switch from Screencast O Matic.

The ability to zoom into the canvas/stage area when editing. At times expanding the layer area to navigate - particularly when in the custom Animation Mode shrinks objects on the canvas to a point where it is difficult to select and manage them - being able to independently zoom into the canvas/stage area would solve this. Currently the zoom level only appears to impact the size of layers in the timeline - this is a good feature to have for fine-tuning animations and layer Ins and Outs, but having and equivalent for the canvas would be great as well.

Set skin tone based on an eye dropper to automatically adjust visuals for skin tone

Ability to record a voiceover for a video while the video is playing? For instance, if I am making an instructional video, how would I record my voice over the video clip playing. It would help if the video was running while I am speaking.
