Create Captions like the App "Captions"
A
Andrew Jauregui
First and foremost I love Descript. I'll more than likely be a lifetime customer. This feature request is in no way shaming the software/platform it is just a comparison of what I use and like for my content.
Captions is a popular app available on IOS that i've been using in conjuction with descript and I love the creativity and design behind the captions/subtitles moreso than descript's version. It is nice that you can choose your own font, play with the colors in descript, but I think what's missing is the self-generated/AI feature that allows captions to be fully composed with emphasis colors, movement animations, emojis and image association all correlated with the video topic/transcript at the click of a button. On top of that, I love the AI zoom feature that Captions has and think that should also be added to Descript as well as opposed to having to play around with the zoom effect and line it up in the sequence timeline. Those are the two main features I'd prefer because creating batch content can be time-consuming and for the sake of time, it'd be much easier to have "Adobe premier pro style " edits in a click of a button without spending hours or even 30 minutes trying to edit it yourself. I'm saving time now using Captions and Descript together, but I'd prefer to log into one workstation as opposed to the two. Also, having a Descript App for mobile wouldn't be too bad either.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to read this as well as your consideration. If these features have already been requested or implemented then please disregard this message, I haven't been able to locate them.

We are sitting on a goldmine here. The transcription services are amazing, but for most short form content creators out there, it takes us a lot of time to make active-word captions manually when needed.
If we had the options to make specific words bigger, different colors customized with multiple effects, specifically glowing and shadow combined since it gives great retention, that would be amazing.
What you are getting out of this is saving creators HOURS , a much more customizable version of submagic , even if they are not AI generated.
Just the fact that we will be able to quickly highlight all words that are important while also adding the most important glow , pop/snap effects with a few clicks to the captions would b e an absolute game changer.
Literally just click on it and enable the effects. Boom. Then highlight the words and ship it. Hours saved, clients received.
Im something of a genius myself
