AMC currently assigns speakers to specific layout slots based on the order that they are assigned in the camera setup dropdown submenu. As far as I can tell, this order is determined for multicam sequences by the upload order of the individual tracks. It should be possible to rearrange the speaker order directly within the camera setup submenu to make it easier to maintain consistency of speaker locations within the layouts from episode to episode.

This would save us SO MUCH TIME using the editor for things like: ✅ text/title presets (all text have a drop shadow, thin black border, be a certain size, have a certain fade in & out animation, etc) ✅ stock presets (all GIFs and images to have a drop shadow & be placed into the top right corner/quadrant of the 16:9 video ratio, vs b-roll stock footage fill up the whole screen & have no drop shadow) ✅ live caption presets ✅ standard zoom in & back out presets when emphasizing a point in the video vs setting it up every time & adding a crossfade on both start/end to transition it better, etc ✅ timeline presets for zoom levels (let us set how zoomed in we want to be for the duration of our editing, until we change it ourselves)

It's very frustrating to not be able to record in one place and inputting slides as images is time-consuming and frusterating.

I love the new smart transitions, for transitioning between 1-up and 2-up layouts. But I do not like the smart transition (a fade) between 1-up speakers. So I go through my whole project to manually add smart transitions in and out to every 2-up scene, but I leave hard cuts between 1-up scenes. I'd love a way to tell Descript to add smart in&out transitions to EVERY scene in my project that uses the 2-up layout.

I love automatic multicam! However, Underlord often stacks 2-up scenes back to back (2 or 3 or 4 of the same layout in a row). For the sake of adding transitions, I have to manually delete duplicated layouts before adding transitions. It would be great to add a line of code that prevents Underlord from using the same layout as the previous scene when creating scenes/layouts for automatic multicam.

Accept files from Canva (which I think is .svg) or Powerpoint (.pptx) in the template area. Not sure how it all works, but that might save people from having to rebuild templates.

Description: Please add a layout or transformation feature that allows users to tilt screen recordings, so the presenter appears to be looking at the screen together with the viewer. This effect is widely used by popular YouTubers (e.g. Vanessa Lau and I thin I saw it at Justin Brown / Primal Video) and enhances viewer engagement by making tutorials feel more immersive. Currently, Descript allows simple video rotation, but not 3D-like tilting or skewing of the presenter video to achieve this effect. Adding a prebuilt layout or a manual tilt/angle adjustment tool would make it easy for creators to replicate this style — just import webcam + screen recording, apply layout, and export. Value Proposition: Highly requested by content creators and educators Matches current visual trends on YouTube and social media Easy to implement with basic 3D transform or layout presets Could be featured in tutorials and promoted as a modern storytelling tool Example video: https://youtu.be/ko3HWNu7CUM?list=PLcDAePPn7pxSZmVeJUImt0oXaJ6_HgbZI&t=1712

I have to say I am loving the short cut to add in scenes (like captions etc) with pre-edited pop ins! What a time saver. However, I would love to see it add in over any backgrounds etc vs cutting them off and me having to drag them back in

I would live to be able for underlord to create summary of detailed (more than in timestamps) topics discussed in the episode most importantly in a bullet point list that I can easily copy and paste.

I hope there will be a Chinese interface, and add a Traditional Chinese version in the translation options
