Batch delete strikethrough
shipped
Avi Glijansky
Would be great to be able to batch delete everything that's struck through in a comp or selection the same way we can with filler words.
I'll preview edits with strikethrough, but then like to delete what I'm not using so that I end up with a clean transcript/script view and manually deleting the struck through bits is a bummer.

I'd like to duplicate a composition, but have the duplicate DELETE all the material which is IGNORED in the original composition. In other words, how can I batch-delete all the ignored material in a composition, so that I don't have to do it one phrase at a time?

This is done. Make a selection, open the Conductor (command K) and type "Remove Ignored Text."

Andrew Mason: If we had a replace with gap clips options it would be wonderful. Especially helpful when exporting to final cut pro or adobe for re-import and alignment to timelines there. This allows me to make cuts in my video and other elements to match up with those made in Descript using the gap clips as a guide.

This would help us generate clean captions after a long production cycle..
This is what we do--->

Used to do: --->
Someone on our marketing team highlights the sections that we want.. and we can export/copy all of those highlights into a new composition which accomplishes the same thing. However, that isn't optimized for editing and post production.
Now we: ---->
We are doing now is using strike throughs as well so the post production editors receive access to Descript. Within side of Descript they are able to fine-tune the edits (adding or removing text to get a better edit).
What we need: --->
What would be great is a an export plain text without the strike-throughs which we would then Sync to the final video so we can generate accurate closed caption files.

Even better if you could turn them on and off so you could see what you cut for those time when you wonder why something sounds weird.

Oh yes...could also be a "copy all non-crossed out" so I could just paste clean into new comp
