A template is a collection of pre-made scenes or layouts that you can use to speed up your workflow. You can use Descript’s stock templates or create custom templates to use in any of your compositions.
Choosing a template
You can access all templates from the top of the editor by selecting Scene on the right-hand side. Here, you can choose a template for the currently selected scene.
Adding template layout to a scene
You can only apply a template to one scene at a time
At the moment, you cannot apply a template to multiple scenes at once.
- Select Scene at the right-hand side of your screen.
- Click to choose a template for the active scene.
- Choose what templates to view. You can access private templates, drive templates, and templates provided by Descript in the gallery view.
- Click on the thumbnail to add it to your current scene, or drag and drop it onto a scene thumbnail in the Script Editor.
Layouts smartly add layers
When you add a template layout to a scene that already contains visual or audio layers, any layer with the same name in both your scene and layout will be updated. This means that a new layer will not be added from a template in addition to your existing layer.
Important
Applying a second custom template to a scene will remove any layers from the first template and replace them with those in the second template. Multiple templates cannot be applied additively in the same scene.
