In this tutorial, I share a time-saving trick on how to replicate layouts in Descript for multi-camera projects, annotations and titles, templates, etc. I demonstrate the process of creating scenes, changing and resizing layouts, using the copy and paste features, and inserting elements into the scenes that then get replicated to other scenes. This is perfect if you want to manunally switch camera views or edit layouts in Descript with multiple video streams in Descript. Replicating scenes this way almost makes templates unnecessary. Once you create your layout variants, you can easily cut your scenes and reproduce them throughout your episode. I use this workflow a lot when I have interviews where I want to switch cameras at my own discretion from side-by-side views, to picture-in-picture or spotlighting one speaker or the other, in turn.

Descript has changed how you add markers in your compositions. After version 74-75 there are new ways to add markers. In this video I show you all the different ways to add markers in Descript Storyboard - whether it's using the keyboard or various menus and action links - they're all demonstrated. Adding markers is great for editorial mark-up when your topic changes, for creating chapters for your YouTube videos or courses and tutorials. They are also great for breaking up your video at the end and they also get exported in the video meta data.
