Welcome to this Q&A session on video editing using Descript! In this session, I'll discuss the transition of my live streams, introduce a new mastermind group for content creators, and provide insights into working with templates, video preparation, and common questions regarding Descript. So, let’s dive in!
First up, I want to share that this will be the last public live stream I do. Moving forward, all future live streams will be accessible only to channel members. I appreciate the support from our current members and encourage anyone interested to join at any tier. The highest tier will grant you access to my exclusive course, and you'll be part of a community of creators.
I'm excited to announce the launch of a mastermind group focused on individuals who create content. In this group, we'll meet to discuss ongoing projects—whether you’re working on YouTube videos, online courses, or other business initiatives. The aim is to provide feedback, share connections, and create a supportive environment for collaboration.
Starting next week, I’ll be doing more in the Descript Mastery community on descriptmastery.com, where I will share resources and insights to help empower your content creation processes.
Next, let’s delve into one of the most exciting features within Descript: Templates.

While 4K is available, it's recommended to work in 1080P for smoother operation and to avoid lag during editing.
Templates can only be applied to scenes that match the structure of the original template. If the number of video layers differs, not all elements will get populated correctly.
