Descript Support Q&A

Heat. Open. Moment. Greetings everyone. Can't quite hear you Trevor. Well, welcome everyone. — We're back. — That's what it is. I understand. That's what There was some technical issues, but we're here. We're back. This is the Dcript support Q& A. Uh hello everyone. Um apologies for a short delay here, but we're here. — Trevor, member of the support team, — and I'm Salvatore, a member of the support team as well. And um welcome everyone for trickling in. Um uh thanks for joining in. Um I think we can uh get started here. I'm just going to restart this real quick. Get back to the beginning of here and welcome. So this is our Q& A session. We are here every Tuesday at 11:00 a. m. Pacific with uh members of the support team. It's usually us, but you might have someone else one of these days. a couple times. This is for anybody and everybody who uh is looking to get some questions answered about Dscript. Whether this is your first time using Dscript, whether you are joining again after a long hiatus or whether you are a seasoned user, a seasoned veteran on Dscript and you just have a question you'd like to ask. Um, and the goals of this is for you to ask those questions. You can use the chat on YouTube to send a question in and we will answer it live. Um we will take literally any question that you have it. There are no wrong questions here. Um whether you want to know how to open a project or whether you want to ask how to put text behind you or any other fancy tips and tricks, we're happy to answer those. Uh we have some other resources for you that Alex, also a member of the support team, will be sharing in the chat. Uh he's already shared how to contact Dcript u from um just if you have a direct question, but we have a help center as well that you can view all of our uh tutorials, walkthroughs, troubleshooting guides, other specific features. We have all sorts of goodies in there. If you just do a search on that help center for a feature, you will find a page that will get all of your questions answered on there as well. Um, but we're here if you have direct questions, if you like this kinds of thing. Uh, if you're here, you are uh you are also on our YouTube channel, which we have plenty of tutorials, other feature reviews, announcements, and we also have all of our past webinars available for live replay. this webinar and all of our other ones. We have a bunch um every week uh and every month. You can watch them if you miss any or want to uh rewatch one on our live tab. You can watch the replays. We also have a growing community of Dcript users on Discord, Reddit, and Facebook that you can connect with if you want to talk with other people using Dscript at various stages in their journey. And as I mentioned, we have plenty of other live events. I already see some questions trickling in here, but just real quick, we'll get through this. If you need to ask us a direct question with your project, if you're experiencing a bug, or if we don't quite get to your question, you can reach out to us directly in the app by pressing the question mark at the top right of your uh app window and pressing contact support. All right, so I see we already got some questions. Let's bring in that first one we have here from TD 88269.

Is it already possible to have an active speaker? Is it possible with three speakers? Two small placeholder and one big placeholder that changes with the active speaker. So, it seems like this might be related to uh automatic multicam or um using just how to add speakers into a project. So, you have — two small places that changes with the active speaker. I wonder if we could Yeah, let's show our screen here and show what we have so far. And if you have any clarification on this, we'll be happy to. Um, what do we want to open? Which one are we working with today? — Let's do a simple twoperson Okay. — recording maybe for this one. So, this one is Trevor and I, we did a quick little podcast about moving. And once you import or upload a file, it should automatically identify the speakers and transcribe your file. So, we have our two speaker labels here. It's going to be Trevor and I. And if you are talking about automatic multicam, we're going to go ahead to AI tools here to the right. And then it might be a recommended feature, but if not, you're going to find it under looks good. So, automatic multicam. And the way to set this up is as long as your speaker labels are correctly labeled, you're going to have this camera setup window. And it's going to ask you to attach your speaker label to a specific camera layer. And in this case, there's only two of us. Trevor is going to go to Trevor's camera, and I'm my camera here. And this is only going to work if you have a sequence. A sequence is a virtual container of multiple layers. So, if you have uh multiple angles from a recording, separate mic inputs, um this where you would combine them into a sequence, which we've done here. on the script track. So, I have those two layers and the camera set up. So, let's go ahead and just run that and we'll go ahead and see what the results are. So, you can see when it's on Trevor, it's going to be mostly um just their their screen. I did choose the automatic feature, so it might have a split screen here every so often, but when it gets to my speaker label, it's going to switch to my camera as seen here. And I'll just keep flipping through just to show you an example. And these are broken up into scenes. You can see these little divisions here on the script and on the timeline. Tony gets to Trevor, myself. Looks like there was some back and forth there. So it stayed on the split screen. But that's how you would assign your speaker label to a layer in your sequence. So hopefully that gets your question answered. — And looks like there's a followup here is just can we change the active speaker? His frame is bigger than the other three. So you want I think I understand this. If you have three speakers, instead of just choosing one speaker, you want the active speaker to be bigger and then the other two speakers kind of to be smaller and you want that to switch um anytime the active speaker changes. Is that correct? — We can certainly — we'll wait for that, but okay. Yep. Looks like that's correct. All right. So, this seems like a layout is probably what we're wanting to do here. And instead of um just showing one person on screen, we need to show both people, but the active speaker is a little bit bigger. — Okay. So, there's a couple ways we can handle this. And the way that the camera changes is dependent on the scene. So, when we ran automatic multicam, it added all of these scenes to our script. You can see whenever the speaker label changes, there's a scene marker here for the most part. There's one right here. And if you wanted to change the specific look of a particular layout, let's say, for example, this scene right here, scene number eight, it's the both of us. And maybe I want Trevor to be the main focus here. So, I can certainly just expand his camera manually. And then I can maybe let's change the shape of mine to a circle. So, I'm just off to the corner here. Make sure that I'm on top as well. — Yeah, — just hidden in the background. — If you right click on a layer on the scene editor, you could change the layer order. So, I'm going to bring it to the front. And then you can just rearrange this however you'd like. Same thing with Trevor's layer. I could change the position to fit the scene editor by clicking on it. You'll have this little menu bar pop up. So, that's going to be

one way to do it manually. You could also apply a layout to this specific scene. So, let me get back to this scene here. If I click on the scene thumbnail here, I could change the layout and I could choose from one of our pre-made templates here. Uh, let's see what a good one might be. Right here, we have a couple options. Yeah, that's the one I think uh they're looking for cuz this one shows it doesn't have to be specifically this, but the one where you have the active speaker — in sort of at the focus and then the uh no the listener, I guess the non-active speaker. — Help me. I'm in a small box to the side there. — Yeah. So you could certainly just apply that layout to all of the other scenes or you could even just copy this layout. So I can right click on the scene again and then copy the layout and paste it to the other scenes just by right-clicking and pasting. — And you can choose this you can choose specific when you apply multicam. You can choose this so that it automatically applies throughout the project. — Yeah, let's give that a try. I'm going to go back to automatic multicam under AI tools. And this is where you would choose that. It's going to ask you what layout pack you want to use. And I can certainly just change this over to one of the different options here. Let's do the focus one. It just chooses the pack though. So — you can delete the you can create your own pack and choose which specific one you want from there. like just uh remove any non ones you don't want, — right? Just have that specific layout in that single pack. — No. So, the follow-up question is, so do I need to do it manually for every scene? Uh if you do it with the automatic multicam, you won't need to do that, but you will need to make sure that you are choosing the right the layout pack just has the um the layouts you want. Otherwise, it might auto select for you. — Yeah. — And I think hopefully in the future it's easier to do um to do this or you can use Underlord to automatically apply specific uh layouts across your project. Yeah, you can type it in apply focus to camera layout to scenes 1 3 5 7 9 so on and so on which I've tried before and it typically works out pretty well. — Let us know if there's any follow-ups there but we can jump into the next question which is from Cindy Bridges. How do I add B-roll? — Oh, great question. There's Let's do the simplest way to do that. And uh let's hide the timeline here because all we need to do is upload your the B-roll that you want to have. So, we can do that either through the project tab or you could drag and drop it in. But this is probably the clearest way to do that. We're going to go to project and then here next to the files tab, we're going to upload it from your computer if it's something that you have. If you want to use one of Dscript's stock photos or videos, you would go to the media tab. And from here, we have a whole library of uh stock videos and images you can choose from. Let's just type in moving truck, for example. If I could spell moving truck. Ah, I like this one. Very cool. So, I'm all I'm going to do is I'm going to grab that video and then I'm going to hover it over the scene I want it to be applied to. So, the scene where I'm talking about familyfriendly drives. So, that's going to take a second to import that video into the project and it's going to apply it to the scene. — There you are. — Like, hey, what's the best route for like a familyfriendly sort of drive and now it's only through the scene. So, when it gets to the end of the scene, Phoenix — and help — that B-roll is going to be gone. And while we we're viewing the scene, we can mess with the actual layer. So, we can make it smaller, move it off to the side if it's something you just want to highlight for a second. Um, for a little bit more control, you can expand your timeline to see what's what happening with the layer. So, now you'll see that image is over the script track. You see, that's where that video is. So, let's say I just wanted for like a quick second. I could trim that over like that T — Hey, what's the best route for like so it only shows for a brief second. — So, a couple ways to do that. You could drag and drop it into the script or timeline which will give you a tiny bit more control as far as the layer. By dragging the edge of the clip, you can trim or extend how long it's uh playing for.

— Awesome. Hope that answers your question about B-roll. There's some other fun things you can do with B-roll, but that's the basic way to start with it. We have a next question is from Quinn Deerey. I record content in rooms and enjoy the auto multicam feature. We just demoed how to use that and uh other ways to set that up. I found that the auto multicam doesn't include the screen share content. What is the best way to splice in screen share from rooms? Do we have an example of this already? I don't know if we do that we created. — That's a good demo to have. Actually, — I believe the automatic multicam is specifically for video layers. So, you'll have to manually change the layout to include that. Um, but let's — you can include if you choose a layout pack that has um like a placeholder layer for the screen share. This shouldn't be an issue. — Maybe we can look at the layout packs available. But we don't have a screen recording on here. — Yeah, we don't. — But if you go to I mean it should be any of these. If you just look in one of here and then there's the screen recording one. Yeah. Any of these. — Yeah. So, let's say for this scene I had a screen recording that I know that was there. That'll still be in the actual sequence. It's just not being shown. So, if I click on the scene and change the layout, I can change it to one of the screen recording layouts like this one. So, I don't have a screen recording in this sequence, so it's not going to do it. But just clicking on that should bring up your screen recording layer and uh do that. I think because you're in the automatic multicam right now, it won't apply to that scene, but we could show what it looks like in the Oh, wait. You did apply it. You did. Okay. Yeah, just because we don't have the extra layer in there, it's not going to show. — And just the followup, it's more I wish the screen share got embedded at the right time. It should be uh because what when the rooms project saves or opens whenever you screen share that's when it starts in your sequence that it uses. If you're finding that it's not that might be something I would reach out to us directly so we could take a look at your project and troubleshoot from there and see the best way to get that working. Um, but maybe this is also good feedback for the gallery to have a uh the what our recommended automatic multicam layout pack would be when using rooms and screen recordings. — Yeah. I'm very curious. I want to try this out now. Let's do a quick rooms recording of just myself. And the way to do a rooms recording, if you haven't tried it before, if you go to your drive view, which is just your main homepage here, and click on record, we have this option to record with others. And clicking on that will take you to a new tab, which is going to check your camera settings, your audio settings, so on and so forth. So, I am wearing headphones. So, let's join. And since I'm the host, I have this invite link that uh the cool thing about it is it's persistent. So you can just share the same link and invite others, but it's just going to be me. I'm going to go ahead and do a quick recording here. And I'm going to do a screen recording maybe a couple seconds in just to show that it should align with the actual time that the screen recording was brought up. So it's recording. Let's do it at 10 seconds. This is going to be — Can you also share your screen? — Okay. Yeah. Ah. The wall of cells. — The wall of room cells. — So, stop. Then I'm going to stop the recording. And once this is done uploading, it's going to import it into a brand new project. All right. Thanks for recording. You're very welcome. So, it's importing the files. Might just take a moment to populate everything. And you should see that we have our sequence here. So the sequence is indicated by the stack rectangle icon on your script track. So I'm going to play it. I think I said around 10 seconds is when it comes in hopefully. There we go. So it pops in at the same time. So yeah, I would experiment with that. If you're having issues, please reach out re reach out and we'd be happy to help.

— Absolutely. All right, next question we got here. Uh, let's see. Oh, we just answered that one. Okay, here's one from Roger Stoddle. Is there a way to import a custom cloned AI voice from 11 Labs? — Good question. — Yeah, so great question. Right now, the only AI voices that you can use to actually edit and generate within Dscript are the ones that are created in Dscript. Um, we could show how to quickly do that right now. Uh, just at least the what is required to create a new voice. Um, but we also have a bunch of stock speakers that you can choose from. And I know with 11 Labs and uh some other like hen some other places that generate texttospech um or AI speakers you can import the MP4s or MP3s or wave files whatever you can export from th from those and then bring them into Dcript just as audio files but you aren't able to further edit them or generate from those voices. You have to just use the ones within Dscript. — Good point. Let's bring up a fresh new project here or composition. And if you haven't messed with text to speech before, it's pretty simple. If you have a brand new composition, we're going to enter write mode. And this is where you could type or paste in your script that you want an AI voice to speak. So this is my new project once upon a time. And once you have your script in, you would assign the speaker that you want to dictate this text. And once you click on that, if you haven't made your own custom speaker, this would be the place to do it. So you're going to create new speaker. Enter your name. Let's do Sal version two since I know I already have a couple. And then in just a moment, you'll have this little icon that says, "Hey, this is a new voice. it's never generated speech before. So, you're going to have to click on this to train your voice. And once you click on that, you'll have a popup that gives you this short paragraph that you have to read um in order for Descript to make a clone of your voice. So, I would basically just click record, read this through, and then it'll make a version of my voice. Otherwise, we do have a bunch of stock speakers that you can choose from. Um, if you click on the uh the stock speakers menu here, you'll have a huge list of different kinds of voices. And it's nice that we have quick descriptions of the type of voice it is. We have British, posh, um, inspirational. So, if you're going for a specific vibe, this is helpful to sort of narrow down your search. Um, Lawrence, I've never experienced. Let's try that. So, I'm gonna — I don't know if I know what Lawrence sounds like. — Let's uh Okay, so that's done. It's generated. And uh Oh, — let's play it back. — This is my new project, Once Upon a Time. — Very like narrator. — Yeah. — Movies, the movie trailer thing. — Yeah. Very cinematic. Let's say you don't like that. We can click on the speaker label and switch it out again. So, I'm going to go back to stock speakers. — You should play uh you should demo some of them what it sounds like because they read the same script. — Oh, yeah. — Life is like a camera. Just focus on what's important. Capture the good times. Develop from the negatives. And if things don't work out, just take another shot. — That's nice. Let's do Grace. Just focus on another shot. — Yeah. So, this is another quick way to audition the voices without having to apply it and um generate the speech. — Yeah. You you'll quickly learn that life is like a camera. — Yeah. — Especially if you demo all of them. — Not inspired by Forest Gump at all. — Um All right. Great job demoing this. Now we have this. Hopefully that answered your question. I know it might not have been the answer you were looking for, but it does show that we do have quite a bit of flexibility within Dcript with AI speakers. And you can also add avatars or um other sorts of fun treats in there to make your video a little bit more creative. We have another question in here. I wonder if this is a followup. It looks like this is maybe separate. I want to have a second person in my project to check the translated language and giving comments. What role does she need and does she need a license? This is a great

question about collaboration and some of our collaborative tools within Dcript. Um, do you want to give a quick demo on some of these? — Sure. Yes. So, if it's a one-off thing where you want them to check a specific project, like in your case, it's for a translation, I would probably recommend just inviting them to a project as a viewer. And the way to do that, let's say, for example, this project, I want Trevor to check this out, but Trevor doesn't have a DScript account, doesn't have a paid plan. I just want them to check it out really quick. We're going to click on this plus button on the top. And this is where I would invite a user to be a collaborator on this project. So I would enter the new email. So the user's email, — it's new email. New user — usermail. com. My favorite one. — Very nice. — So you can change the permission levels to edit or comment. Um if you just want them to to view the project and leave comments, you can switch it over to that. And it's simple as that. You would just invite them to the project. They would get an email and a link to view this project and they can leave comments. Um, if they have a paid account by themselves already, you can switch this to edit and they could do simple edits like we editing the script. Um, basically anything that doesn't have to do with AI or transcribing files. Um, otherwise if you want sort of full collaborative features, you could explore adding them to your drive, which is going to make them a team member. And you can do that from here as well, but I think the simplest way to see this is via your account settings. So, if we go to the home tab, click on your profile icon on the top right here and settings. You have your members and you can see we have a few of us on this drive. myself, Trevor, Alex, and you would just invite that new member. And I will preface this by saying that an editor level member will cost an additional subscription charge. So, for example, if you're on the hobbyest plan at $24 a month, adding a new member will incur additional $24 a month for that team member. But that gives them full access to the drive as well as all the features that you have. Um, and you can collaborate on projects super easily. — Uh, those are all great ways to collaborate. And in your case, if uh, TD, if you just need them to view things and they don't even want to create a Dcript account, you can actually publish the project to our Dscript web link and we have uh, full comments in there as well that they can leave and um, you can sort of check those off from the published page as well. Um, that that's a great way of sharing collaboratively across your team without having them actually jump into the Dcript project. — Yeah, that's a good point. Let me see if it looks like this one was previously published. — Yeah, we could go to that page. Do you need to reshare your screen? — Yes. So, let me So, if you've never exported to a web link before, it's going to be the default option on the top right here. If you click export, so you're done with your edits and you're ready to share this. We're going to have the destination set to web link. And the neat thing about this is it gives you a unique web link that you can share with others. Like in this case, if you want someone to see it, and you can also download the actual video file. So, I'm going to go ahead and pretend like I'm exporting this for the first time, but I'm really just updating it. And it'll have a share link here at the bottom that you can send off to others. So, I'm going to open up what that page looks like in a new tab and share this tab instead. So, this is what the actual web link will look like when they open it. It's like a little private YouTube link and it'll have the transcription on the side. So, they can read along and watch the video and also leave comments. So, for example, your collaborator is just viewing this. They don't need an account. They can just leave a comment by highlighting and leaving a comment. This is wrong. So wrong. Then you would get an email notification of that which is really handy for quick checks like this. It's also important to note that the comments on the share page won't appear in your actual edit. Those are two different things, two different scenarios. This is useful is if you have a draft ready to be shared. This is a full first draft, second draft, whatever the draft number is that you can share across teams and then you can easily work from there. It's a way to just stay organized by sharing drafts and sharing it with if you have a team of 10 that you only have one seat for Dcript, this

is just a way to avoid having to buy any extra seats or having them create accounts. — Absolutely. Great, great workaround. Great tool. Switch over to this — and it'll show you on the play bar there. Oh, you jumped back. But uh if you jump if you see um on the play bar. — Oh yeah. — Is that what that's called? What is that called? — I think so. Yeah, the play bar. That sounds right. — Play bar. Yeah, it'll show you where the comments are so you can skip to them if you're just looking if you are the editor and you just want to see where those comments are. And we got one more question up on the queue here. When we use translation and we change the original text, do we need uh to regenerate the translation again? Uh that's a great question and yes. So th this is um this is kind of why we recommend using the translation step at the end and why it's if you go to your AI tools and we'll show you here um when we go to AI tools and we scroll down to the publish where is it re or repurpose these are um I guess it's not in publish it's in the repurpose this is sort of for the end like repurposing is great when you are done with editing the main edit. You are done. Everything is visually locked and the audio is locked. It's basically locked. It's the final draft. This is the last step you want to do is use translation because if there are any changes, you have to regenerate it again and use those credits and um well, I guess just generate it again essentially and republish that. So for translation, this is the last thing you want to do because you are taking the fully polished video, your fully polished project and turning it into another language. You're repurposing it for uh other audiences. — Yes, excellent point. It's like taking a snapshot of your project's current state and if you change anything after that, it's going to be different from the already translated version. So definitely you save it for last. — And another question, this is uh more related to what we were just talking about on the web link. What is the difference between export with web link and give access as viewer to project? Because I want to see the original text and the translated text. Yeah, we were describing a little bit of the difference. Um the main difference is that giving access to the project, you can see all of the edits, all of the layers. you just have access to what the editor does, but you won't actually be able to make any changes. You basically just have the full timeline, the full script view, and you just have a little bit more insight into everything. The web link is essentially just sending someone a video. Like if you were to watch a video on YouTube, a draft video on YouTube, that's essentially what you're getting. And you can leave a comment, but with our web link, you can leave comments specifically at time codes. uh but you don't see how that person edited it. If they edited it in Adobe Premiere, you don't see the Adobe Premiere timeline. For Dcript, you can give people access to the project if you want for your team me team members or you can give them access to an exported video. And as far as the original text and the translated text, you can actually use either one of those. You can share the project and then they can get access to the translation and the original text from there from the project or when you export to uh a web link you can choose what language you're uh publishing. You can publish multiple languages at a time or you can just uh publish them one at a time and just share those links like this is the French version of the video. Please watch and let me know how it looks. Yeah, it sounds like in your case the project might be the way to go. — Yeah, it go for that one is just sharing the project. And if they do this on all of your projects, just invite them to your drive as a free user so that they can have access to all of the projects and leave comments and everything from there. Uh especially if they don't need to do any editing, they're just there to sort of review. Yeah, if it's a repeated thing, if they'll be coming back a lot, they can come back as a viewer. I don't think I showed you that. So, let's go to settings again and members. So, when you invite someone, you can change the role. So, it's going to default to editor, but you can change it to viewer so they can just see projects, but they'll be limited and you won't have to pay for another seat. — Awesome. any other questions we have at the

moment. Please feel free to send in the chat even if we've covered it already. If you just need us to recclarify anything, we're happy to do so. — Yeah, great question so far. — Thank you for the questions so far. Covered a lot of different grounds on publishing to uh to AI speakers to rooms recordings, — the whole gamut. — But we have plenty of time left to cover anything. And while we're waiting, why don't we open that project back up and play around in it? — Let's do it. All right, I'm opening the threeperson podcast. — Three person. — Yeah, we're expanding. And Trevor just picked uh we went on a random topic generator and I think he picked the purple ocean. What if the ocean turned purple? — Yeah. was purple? The It was just the ocean turned purple. was the prompt of from this randomly generated topic gener I don't know what it was I googled topic generator — and we got 12 minutes of conversation from it so it was great oh looks like we have another question here a followup when I make AIB roll video full screen that follows the voice of my speaker I need to cut the scene that has the same length of the AIB That's a good question. So, it sounds like you have — an AI speech script and then you have AI B-roll over it and you want to just shorten the scene and you're wondering if you have to do it for both layers. Hopefully that's uh I'm on track there. — Or if it's the B-roll video is short or long. I wonder if it's just the video is either too long for the speak speaker or too short. And we can show both cases. — Yeah. So, this is an AI speech, but I'll just make a scene marker here for this sentence that Trevor says, and I'll add a quick little B-roll here. Sounds like they're looking about gener how to generate B-roll though because it's AI of B-roll. — Okay, so let's try that. AI. — We do have extend video still, I think. — Generate media. There we go. — Okay. So, uh, they want to know both of these cases. How to shorten it for a scene and how to extend it. — Okay. All right. So, — do you want to make an a purple ocean video? — Let's make a purple ocean. So, if you missed that, I went to AI tools and then we have generative media on Dcript. If you go to AI tools and under looks good, we have generate media. So, you can generate images or videos. We're going to go to video and then from here we can change the model. We have a ton of options here. Lots of popular choices like Sea Dance, Sora, Vio, Beao, Juan, Cling. I'm just going to go for Cling here really quick. And I'm going to ask it to generate a purple ocean with a pirate ship sinking. And you do have a tiny bit of control of how long the generated video is. If you click down here at the bottom, you can change the duration. So, if you know you're looking for something around six seconds or so, you could change it to six seconds. Um, you could choose the style. Um, for example, I'm going to go with uh stop motion. I haven't tried that yet. And lastly, the aspect ratio. And it should default to the composition size. Now, it might take a moment to generate from here, but we'll show how to basically how to shorten this if you need it shortened and extend it. Um, even if you chose because I think there is a max number. What's the max on this one? 12 seconds, — I believe. 15 minutes. — Okay. Dang. Okay, that that's longer than I thought. — But, uh, you can extend it beyond it whether you've chosen a shorter length or you chose the max length. You need to be 16 seconds for instance. — I don't think I've tried that before. You'll have to show me. — Oh, the extend video. I believe you still can extend video here. Uh unless that was uh No, you could still extend video. Okay. And I believe it's for all models, but I'm not sure. It should be for all models. Once this generates, we'll show that. And we do see uh we do see a few other questions. We'll uh we'll cover those once we kind of finish up

with this one. We'll cover the next few questions we see in there. So, don't worry if you ask a question, we don't answer it right away. We will get to it. And if we don't get to it, just keep yelling in the comments like, "Answer my question. " Oh, this is fascinating. Ah, — I mean that's exactly what I asked for. It's purple. Whatever you're thinking. — Exactly what you asked for. How you um So, let's start by shortening it. Just showing how to shorten it. — All right. So, I' I've added it as a layer. So, I previewed it really quick and now I've added it to the scene as a layer. So, if we expand our timeline, you'll see that it's been added to the scene. And if you want to shorten it, you're just going to grab the edge of that clip here where my cursor is and then we can shorten that. Let's just shorten it by half in this case. — All right, welcome to We don't have an official name for this podcast. U — can you edit it by the scene as well? — Oh, let's see. — By the scene boundary, rather. — Yeah. Uh so if you wanted to shorten everything that's contained in the scene. So that would be the actual script uh the speech or any other layers you have in here, you could grab the actual scene boundary here. So this little film strip up here is just a representation of what's in the scene um and all the layers included. So if I grab the actual scene boundary and just shorten it, this will shorten everything under that. — What if you grab the scene boundary from the uh script track? Go H. — Is it not dragging? Oh, no. There it is. — Okay. So, now I could move it over to here. So, let's say I want to end that scene under official. — All right. Welcome to We Don't Have an official name for this podcast. — So, that's another way. Yeah, you could grab the scene boundary so it'll move the contents. — But now if we want to make it longer — than 6 seconds, — let's do it to the end of support team. But now the problem is our video is only six seconds. So to extend I haven't tried that yet. Where would I go to do that? Uh, I think you need to select it in the scene editor. — Scene editor. Here we go. — And then if you press the uh the underlord button, the AI tools button, extend video. — Wow. So, it'll bring up the generate media tab here. And then you can extend video and you can give it another prompt uh or just say extend video. Uh, extend — to nine seconds. Bam. — So, I don't know if it'll do that because you put five seconds. — We'll see what happens. — Yeah. — No, no. I chose nine. Actually, I chose nine. — I nine. Just kidding. — It didn't count. — We'll wait for this to generate. As with all AI tools, they do take a bit to generate because they use um the internet and other integrations and thirdparty tools to work with this. Um so make sure to have a our recommended network requirements as well as computer requirements to have the best performance possible. — Um we can yeah we'll just wait for this to generate. I'm curious what happens from here. — Curiosity killed the cat. Cat and also the everyone on that ship. — Well, no, they won't drown because the ocean's purple. You can't drown in a purple ocean, — can it? You can breathe in it. — It's like jell-o. — Precisely. It's like a pool of jell-o. All right. So, it should be extended, I believe, — slightly at six seconds now. So, I would if you're doing this, I would change the actual duration here because I completely forgot to do that. — Um, it did make a slightly longer version. — Well, it should have. Yeah, I think it extended. So, you can add that to uh

— you could also just do that. Just drag and drop it right after that first clip. — Have three members of the support team where we have used a this podcast. Uh but we have three members of — I think the first one. — This one? — Yeah, I think it's the one above. It is the one you just did. That's the one. — I see. Yes. So there we go. So we have three members of the support team where we have used random topic. — Neat. That's very cool. — I like that. — All right. Hopefully we answered that question from there and we can go to the next question from slice of mindfulness. I record myself on two devices. I want to choose the angle I want. I know how to make a sequence. What is the best way to choose my camera angle? That is a great question. There's not a great way to choose the angle based on like you can use automatic multicam, but it's going to be the same speaker. — So, it's tough to use that. Underlord might be a way that you can add a prompt to say I want it to switch when I talk about this and switch when it talks about this. Or you can obvious obviously do this manually. Anytime you have uh you want to change the angle, you can add a scene. And when you add a scene, you can then change the layout or the look, the visuals of that specific scene. and you can choose what layer is going to be shown and how big that layer is and any other elements in there. That's probably what I would recommend and uh you can create a actual a layout pack to choose when you want a specific uh aspect to be shown as just far as automating this. That might be something with Underlord to say anytime this is talking I want this layer to be shown and see how that works. But it might require a few back and forth prompts to get exactly how you want. — Yes. And to sort of demo that really quick, let's say in this case we have three angles, but it's let's say it's only two. And you know for a fact that after this section, I want it to be a certain angle. So I'm going to add a scene boundary by clicking forward slash on my keyboard. And from here now I can affect the layers here. So, let's say I just want it to be this layer. And then I would sort of continue on, add a new scene boundary. And then for this new scene, I would switch up the layer. So, you could also click on this layer icon here to change it to the other one. So, let's switch it over to mine and get rid of that other one like so. And so on and so forth. So, you would just sort of add scenes as you go and switch out the uh the right one. I know this does look like it might take a while, but when you actually sit down and do it, it probably takes less than 15 minutes to go through an entire project. Even if the project's like an hour, it really doesn't take that long because you can look ahead on the script and see, oh, this is when I want it to happen. When I talk about this and create the scene and instantly do that, it becomes really, really fast. — Yeah, it's pretty fun, too. — It is fun. — It's like you're doing a lot. — It feels fancy. It feels like you're doing a lot. Something that would take a lot longer in another video editing app, but is just the click of a couple of buttons here. — Yes. — Um, all right. Uh, the next question here is it's sort of a two-parter, I guess. I think they're unrelated, but they're from the same person here, Bill Lambert. Let's say you're doing a video podcast and they stumbled. How can you I believe you're saying how can you fix that or how can you adjust that — stumbled? So, there's a couple of ways here. If you want to use something if you're trying to talk about like regenerate or video regenerate, we have that capability. This goes back to AI speakers. If you have uh one of your guests or yourself is a trained AI speaker, you can use video regenerate or regenerate to fix a word you said. We can demo that on your end if you want because I know you have your voice trained here. — Let's do it. Um let me find a good section here in regards to like a quick edit. Maybe for example, in our podcast here, let's say Trevor said I three times. maybe they had stumbled and I just want that to be a little bit cleaner. You can certainly just highlight that section in the script and delete the multiple, you know, takes or the part where

they stumbled so it's a bit cleaner — video game where I'm sure there are video games that have purple oceans. I I don't know. — Like that for example, I can get rid of those extra eyes. So now it's going to sound a bit cleaner. — Have purple oceans. I don't know any — So it sounds like they never stumbled at all. Mhm. — And as far as actually changing a word. So, for example, for me here, maybe I meant to say I'm going to change it back to my face so we know what's happening. Maybe I meant to say blue flower instead of purple. There's a purple flower. — Oh, it looks like we're talking over each other. Let me see. And more purple than anything. Okay, so I want to change purple and I meant to say blue. So, I'm going to highlight this word in the script. And since I've already cloned my voice and my speaker label is set to my AI speaker, you would find that in the section here. I can now highlight that word and regenerate it to be a different word or phrase. And we usually recommend, you know, shorter phrases for this particular feature. Um, but I'm just going to change it to blue. — You're changing the whole podcast. I'm changing the flow of the things. Blue, indigo. There we go. In between — violet. Okay. Actually, violet's probably — We have someone that's saying it's actually violet. — Violet. Now, we do have a regenerate video feature, which is available if it's only a single layer on your script track. Since we have a three-person podcast here where it's the three of us in a sequence, unfortunately, that does limit us and we're not able to use this particular feature. Um, but it should still sort of freeze the frame and kind of uh make it a little seamless. So, I'm going to go ahead and try to change that to violet instead of purple. And then the followup was uh same user Bill Lambert also in a video podcast. How can I add visuals to make to my podcast to make it better? I feel like we covered this a little bit, but we're happy to add some more spice to this video. Um just adding any sort of element. Uh oh, did it load? All right, we'll play this and then we'll answer this. — You're more violent than anything. I thought — it's like I never fumbled. It's pretty great. And you didn't turn on video regenerate, right? — Did not. So, it sort of just freezes the frame. If you want to kind of get into the nitty-gritty here, it grabs a still frame — because now we can add a visual here to show like how we can hide this and how we can add visuals to make the podcast better. — Yeah. Let's say it was a longer phrase and you want to add a particular piece of B-roll here. I could just grab something from our stock media tab here and throw it on top of this section as a layer right there. You could also do it on the script. There's just the fun thing about the script is there's many avenues to the same place. Um, — a lot of roads lead to the same Yeah, — exactly what you said. Yep. Um, if you I didn't think I showed this earlier, but if you want to quickly split a clip up, you can click S on your keyboard, which will split a layer because I just know I want to delete that really quick. More violet than anything, I feel. — Yeah, blueberries. — You know, that was a little too quick. Maybe a couple seconds longer just to hide it. — Yeah, blueberries are more purple. So yeah, adding B-roll or images, videos, anything of that nature is simply as simple as just dragging and drop it onto the script. And if you want to fine-tune how long they run for, you would you could just open up the uh the timeline. But yeah, let's say for this section Trevor's talking about video games, I'm going to bring up a video game footage here. I'm going to throw it on top of the scene. It kind of feels like a video game where I'm sure there are video games. — And in addition to all of this, you if you do have a multi-person podcast and you have separate angles, we demoed earlier that you can use automatic multicam. And what that does is it every time the speaker changes, so the speaker label, so when Gab's speaking, it'll cut to their camera. and when I'm mine automatically. Um, which would create hundreds of scenes for you at a click of a button. Um, and that's a really easy way to spice up your visuals. And then you could add B-roll footage on top and other fun

stuff. Awesome. We had one more question that we could probably get to here unless one comes in at the buzzer and Alex I believe gave uh the answer to this is can the latest dcript version present video clip viewer in the in a second monitor for editing two or more screens. So, I believe you're referring to the what we call is the scene editor, which is the video preview of that. And I know in other tools like Premiere, you can have multiple monitors where you have specific windows in on multiple monitors. Right now, Dcript is just the everything in the app has to be in the same window, uh the same sort of pane. it it's we're not quite at the point where we can have the script on one monitor and then the scene editor and the project tabs on another monitor. I don't know if that's in the works or the pipeline at any point at this point in time, but definitely a cool feature request. I know folks have wanted the multi- the multi. Yeah, — we do have multi-wind editing where Alex mentioned you can have the project open in multiple windows or other projects in multiple windows, but it's not exactly what you're looking for. — Um, — so I don't know. Do you have any workarounds for that or anything you use? — Um, that's a good question. And I think the goal was to have everything just as simple as possible under one view. You know, they're all sort of interacting with each other. If I highlight something on the script, it's also highlighting on the timeline and it's going to preview it on the scene editor. So, it just it's just a matter of adjusting your workflow, I think. Um, you know, whether you start with a script first or if you want to go into the timeline and sort of dig into the layers and stuff. Um, and then you could, you know, play back your previews just to see it in bigger form. — I'm sure there. — So, yeah. I mean, that is a great feature, though. — Oh, my apologies. — Oh, gaze. — Those allergies are coming in. — Yeah, I hear that. — It's that time of the year. — Yep. It's pollen season. — It is pollen season. And other things other allergens. — Yep. Allergen media. — Allergen media or side project. — Side project. Um, sorry about that. Sorry for the distraction, but hope that answers your question. Train your brain by boozain. I like that. — All right. Um, yes, the scene editor. I see you responded there. Any other questions before we end off this session? Uh, and if we didn't get to your question or we didn't answer everything, we are Oh, — yeah. I think we missed. — Here's the last one. Yeah. Take it. Take it away. — Take it away. So, let's say you have a collaborator and we recorded with them, but we don't have them physically with us and I want to have a clone of their voice. You can still do that. If you pull up, let's say Trevor lives in Oklahoma and I'm in Arizona and I want to have a clone of his voice, I would ask them to record the prompt that I read. So, let's generate speech generation for Trevor. So, basically what I would do is I would copy this text and I would send it to Trevor like via email, chat, text, whatever it might be. And then they would record that using a proper setup. You know, if they don't have anything, you know, phone, camera, whatever they have. So, they need to record an MP3 or wave file of this script and they would send it to you and you can upload it to this um this speaker. So, you would choose that wave or MP3 recording and they can still create AI speaker remotely, which is neat. Awesome. — Sounds like the last question we'll get to today. I believe so. — Yeah, looks like it. — So, that'll do it for this session, this week's session. Come join us every I was going to say any and every at the same time. So, — we're always here. — Every any um Oh, okay. We have one more question here. We'll just uh I posted a question. I I'm not qu Do you think you could clarify? You said the calls are with a group, not solo. Do you mind clarifying that a little bit more? — Oh, yeah. Sorry. — It didn't look like it was looked more like a comment than a question, so we didn't highlight it. That's our apologies, but we're happy to answer a question about that if you have it, if you want to clarify it

unless you asked uh asked it above and we missed it. — Yeah, give you a second to answer that. We can maybe go a couple minutes over just to get that answered. And if not, then we can always uh you can reach out to us directly or we can do it next week. We'll give that a minute or so. — We can cue the lounge music. Um, but yeah, the project that we've been working on is a group. — What were you saying? — That's pretty good. I like Um nothing that that this project that we were demoing earlier was a — right — group podcast teaching group. Okay. — Is there a question about that or — a workflow thing that you might be experiencing? because I didn't see a question. Oh, I think it might have not had your question in there. I think we only saw part of your question teaching group and would like to take a piece out of. — Okay. So, hopefully I'm going to just try to quickly demo this real quick. Um, let's say you've uploaded your group call that you're teaching and you have it in the transcript and there's a section you want to remove. Um, it's in Dcript. Everything you can do is script based. So, if you find that on your script, you can just highlight it like this and you want to completely get rid of that section, you would just highlight and completely delete it like that. Let's say I want to go even further. I just want to get rid of this word instead of the whole section. That would be my instinct. Um I also was thinking um — you know it's just highlighting the word maybe I don't want that um there highlight and delete. — Thinking you know the Romans used to talk about like — so it's much like a word processor where you would just edit the script like a like text pretty much. So you could remove any unwanted pieces of material from your script that way. So hopefully that answers your question. But yeah, we are getting that time. — We're at our time now uh for this week. But if we didn't quite answer it, just reach out to us directly. We'll be happy to help out with our from our support channel or you can ask us next week, same time, same place. — Yeah, it was super fun hanging with everyone. — All right. Uh, we'll close it off from there, but have a great rest of the Tuesday, everyone. — Have a good one.
