PLEASE bring back the old timeline. I find the new one to be clunky, difficult to make quick cuts, and extremely difficult to make granular cuts. Also, one of things I loved the most about your software was the way I could pull the text to bring back sections. This is extremely difficult now. The new timeline with the video also gets off from the audio to the video. Even though I had them connected, it kept shifting. Then when I used the AI reconstruct some of the sound, it really made the video shift from the audio or it sped up the video to match the AI voice. I would prefer that it would add room tone or drag out the words, rather than speed up the video. I also found that it was impossible to highlight areas to change that had text that wasn't in the transcript, so the original VO remained in one spot despite that I corrected it with no text in that spot. I tried using AI, etc. I also prefer having all the scenes on the side where I could click on them easily and jump to the ones I wanted. Having the images from the video on the timeline is not needed at all. I think it is slowing everything down. I don't like that all my right click controls are pretty much gone. HELP!!!! Turn it back!!!

The new timeline is incredibly slow. Slower than the previous. It has nice features but it's so excruciatingly SLOW.

hate the new timeline and having to go up to a dropdown menu to show and hide it

Hi there - I really like the new timeline view - it's great, but why get rid of the side bar? Duplication? Maybe - but the side bar is much easier to see scenes and chapters especially in larger projects. I find that I constantly need to zoom in and out with this new timeline. The sidebar allowed for the 'overall' project view, while the timeline at the bottom allowed for more precise control.

Put fast forward and rewind in the middle. Let me skip by frame using keyboard arrows

the removal of the scene sidebar has been a very important drop in product quality... since it saved a lot of editing time and at a glance you could know a lot of things about the project.

A very noble place

Not loving the loss of accuracy in editing with this new timeline . Can't discern cutaways that go over the existing voice track and those that are an inserted graphic. Can't edit with the timeline anymore and only the text but the ability to do these tasks needs fine timeline access - like it used to be. Really annoying for those of us used to being able to accurately edit down to the frame. The images that are supposed to be a cutaway with original audio get merged into the scene and can't be changed at all once in there unless you 'undo' and try again. To move the position it is a manual slide by dragging and dropping and can only do it on the first time it is loaded or it merges into the scene and unable to be changed at a later time. The original footage is lost too. Really bad - sorry to say it so boldly. I love Descript in general but it was also because I could be accurate with the editing and use some of the familiar editing tools. You've lost them completely without the option to turn them back on. Can we revert to the old timeline somehow by option?

Absolutely no reason to change the location of the timecode display from the middle to the left side??? why? Also I really want the scene sidebar back, there's no reason why you cant add it.

Where did the ability to change the speed of a clip go?? :(
