The scene editor contains all of a scene’s visual elements — the video, layout packs, titles, fancy captions, images, shapes, and so on. You can arrange and adjust the elements by clicking on them in the scene editor. It’s the primary work area for assembling and editing video in Descript, and it works kind of like a slide in a presentation app like PowerPoint.
Please note that the scene editor will not be visible in audio only compositions.
