Really well done. I've been looking for decent descript videos by people who knew what they were doing, and yours is the best I've found. Thanks :)

[@podmahal]

Thanks for the kind words! I really appreciate you watching 🙏 Feel free to let me know if there's any other annoying parts of Descript or other software you'd like me to make some videos on.

[@thevirtualislander]

Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for. As someone coming from a background of audacity, descript is a gem!

[@podmahal]

I'm so glad this was useful! Let me know if you need any other help in using Descript. I'm happy to make more videos on this

[@HIDDENADHD]

[@podmahal]

Saves so many steps I love it!

[@Solusign]

Very nice! Where do you position your lights? I can't see the reflection in your glasses! Well done!

[@podmahal]

Thank you! I will typically do 9 oclock and maybe 2 oclock position sometimes. And making sure that its high enough so it's not in my line of vision

[@jamesstockton3233]

Great tutorial - thank you!

[@podmahal]

Of course thanks for watching!

[@KelleyByrdsong]

Thank you.

[@workwealthandtravel]

Sooo good thankyou

[@docomedy1]

Thanks for the video. In my description, I don’t see any templates for captions by clicking on 4 boxes. It’s an empty folder. Where do you get the various templates for the captions ?

[@podmahal]

You’re probably in the Drive or Private tab. Try TEMPLATES (4 box icon) -> Tap GALLERY

[@shivamnandiofficial]

good one mate....really helpful

[@podmahal]

Happy to hear that thanks!

[@janmossonline]

Really helpful thank you but I don't get the emojis when I click on fn? Are you on a mac maybe? I googled it. It's the windows log and the full stop for anyone else wondering :)

[@podmahal]

Yes that’s likely it, thank you for sharing!

[@homahealthcarecenter]

now overlord is doing all this

[@podmahal]

yes it is! I've got some new videos dropping with the Underlord interface

[@iamneverwrong6635]

I must have an older version of descript since I’m working on a 2017 MacBook Air I don’t have all of the options to edit the captions with the shadowing, etc that you have . My manual updates say that I am using the latest version, but I have less editing capability then what you are showing us in your video -even if that’s the case and I am using the latest version, it seems like they’ve taken away. Some features? Talk about frustrating!

[@podmahal]

They make updates fairly often so the look inside has definitely changed for both of us. I will make another video for you going through some of the updates though. Let me know if there’s any specific things you’d like me to cover!

[@iamneverwrong6635]

@@podmahal also do you know what I think it might be? After I watched your video again I realize that you had to go through a lot more clicks to do something now that you are just able to do in one or two if that makes sense so maybe I really have the updated version. It just looks different from yours because it’s more streamlined.? thank you for the quick reply and I look forward to your video!
