Allow Layer Grouping

Grouping layers and making them into one layer (then drill down when double-clicked) will make the timeline cleaner. And so we can move stuff (such as titles) in one go!

Group layers; custom animation for multiple layers all at once

I recently tried Canva Video for movie production. Generally Descript is better, especially because of its ability to edit video based on transcript, which Canva lacks, but Canva has one killer feature that I want — the ability to interpolate between two different arrangements (position, scale, rotation, transparency) of the same layers as a single operation, instead of animating each element individually. I think the best way to do this is to allow grouping of layers, which is desirable anyway, then be able to do a custom animation on a group. Once you have groups you can then apply other animations to whole groups of objects — Canva is very good at this.

Yes. Please add this. It would cleanup the timeline so much.

This is from a year ago??
Maybe we're expected to create this stuff in a separate program, but that is really frustrating when everything I need is already in Descript as shapes and text and I just can't group them together for easy editing and animation.

Yes. Allow multiple layers to be grouped within the Timeline or Canvas. So that you can easily copy/paste an entire set of layers within a project or composition.

Attaching layers together in templates

If there are multiple layers in a template (a music bed plus a VO, for instance), they should be attached together so that, once inserted into a project, they remain temporal relationships when moved. Either that, or we should have the ability to select multiple layers so they can be dragged together.

YES, please. Also to save timeline real estate.
