Release Version 100

Translation - improved and out of beta
Translation with dubbing is moving out of beta, and we’re adding a host of improvements to the functionality and workflow to celebrate. 
Translated copies of your main Composition will are now viewable within the Editor window rather than in a pop-out panel. We’ve moved the selection dropdown for your translated compositions into the main composition window for easier access and improved clarity.
You are still limited to re-translating sections, or correcting the translation in this view. If you need to edit the main composition, you’ll still need to do that in the original copy, and then re-translate if you made changes since the last time your ran it. 
Translation moving out of beta also means that it’s now limited by subscription tier, available at the Creator level and up. Translation with correction is available for Business and Enterprise plans only.
Data sharing is disabled for Enterprise Drives
Enterprise drives will soon be automatically opted out of data sharing. This has been a frequently requested feature from Enterprise teams. As of this release, if data sharing is disabled individual team members or admins will not
 have the option to re-enable it.
Subscription management and checkout improvements
We’re launching some improvements to the self-checkout flow, which will be available initially to 50% of users as we make sure it offers a better overall experience. Users will be taken to a web browser with an improved interface making it clearer what will change and the associated costs.
Users in this group will also now see that the Subscription panel has been split into two segments: 
Preferences: for adjusting Drive settings such as Drive icon and Drive name.
Subscription: for managing subscription plan, and adding or removing card details.
We’ll slowly ramp this up to all users over the coming weeks. 
Default AI Speaker setting
There’s a new option in settings that allows you to define a default AI speaker in your projects. When you enter Write mode in a blank project, it will use this AI Speaker by default. This is a great time saver if you're starting your projects in Write mode and typically use the same AI voice. 
Editor Updates
Automatic multicam has received major speed improvements, generating much faster. We have also removed the blocking modal and moved the progress indicator back to the sidebar.
Preview playback for stock media will now stop after you add it to a composition.
File conversion processes (Repair audio drift, split to mono, convert to mono, and normalize audio) are now available on the Web and Desktop preview versions of Descript.
We’ve added some highlights and shading to sidebar options to help ease of use and clarity.
