Paste at playhead! :)

Since moving to Descript from other editing software, this is the biggest pain point that I am surprised is not addressed: If I copy something in the timeline (like an image) - or copy something from another descript project - I should be able to paste that thing into my project at the playhead location.
Right now it (mostly - sometimes unpredictable) gets pasted at the start of a scene.
Pasting at the playhead location in the timeline is a basic functionality that I got used to with tools like imovie and logic pro. Would love to have it in Descript.

This was built during Telethon and will hopefully be shipping soon!

YES Exactly! Adding any B-roll is such a pain with this and the timeline zoom in/out being hard to control.

No
YES!

This is especially an issue with larger projects with lots of scenes and layers. Often I’ll paste something and can’t find where it went at all, which makes me worry it’ll pop up somewhere random and unwanted
