Release Version 75

Welcome to v75 of Descript.
This update comes with new features, workflow improvements, and bug fixes. Here's what you can expect with today's update:
Simplified Script tools
We’ve simplified the Script into a single Write-mode which can be toggled on or off using
Command + E
or
Control + E
on Windows. Writing on any new line will automatically enter write mode for a more fluid workflow.
Correct Text and Overdub are still quick to access by highlighting the Script and using the Toolbar, and by holding down C (for correct) or D (for Overdub.) Correct text mode is still accessible using
Option + C
or
Alt + C
on Windows to Toggle On / Off.

Workflow improvements
Docked panels are now remembered
  • We’ve made it easier to customize your workflow by remembering the position of any Docked panels. There’s now a keyboard shortcut to Toggle your Docked panels open or closed.
MacOS: Command + Shift + Option + D
Windows: Control + Shift + Option + D
Enable Multiple Compositions
  • In a Single Composition Project, we’ve changed the New Composition option to Enable Multiple Compositions. Selecting this option will also enable the Duplicate composition option.

Other Improvements
  • Set Default Privacy for Published Pages: We’ve added the ability to set a default privacy level for your published pages. This should help prevent accidentally sharing your work with a different-than-intended audience.
    Enterprise users have an additional setting to restrict privacy to Drive members only.

  • We’ve brought back this icon on Effects to indicate there are optional slider settings such as Intensity for Studio Sound so you can more easily be a little less
    intense
