XML Imports & Referencing Original Media
Tyrell Saint-Vil
A real game changer to descript would be allowing for XML imports that references the source media. Not only would this significantly speed up workflow, it would also make descript indispensable in many creative professionals pipelines. Another application called Plotline already has this and they take it a step further by using AI to identify moments of high impact of comedic relief. Using this, their ai then arranges the story. It is primarily focused on weddings but this can be applied to many different levels of productions.
Please add XML support. Current workaround is to cut up the media and re-export everything (essentially baking in the edit and losing RAW/high fidelity flexibility of the files) into descript then either use those media files if exported at a high enough quality or manually replace them with the originals.

Also it should keep all audio tracks

Dear Descript, There's no reason to add "-1" to the end of each clip name, we should always be referencing original media. What is the purpose of allowing an XML export otherwise? You have already made a story editing tool! Why in the world would you not allow professionals to use it by allowing us to export XMLs referencing the original clips?! This could be used by all story editors in the unscripted world if you fixed this. Thanks for the workaround Tyrell but Descript take note: it's much much too time consuming if you're working on a feature doc or doc series
