Layout preferencesWhile the app is open, new compositions keep your Timeline and sidebar sizes. Descript saves your custom layout preferences (like script and scene editor visibility) per project, so the layout is preserved when you return.

Change the layout in video compositions
In video compositions, open the View > Scene editor menu to change how the Script editor and scene editor are arranged. Three layouts are available under Scene editor placement:- Full-screen video: The scene editor fills the workspace and the script is hidden. Shortcut: Cmd/Ctrl + .
- Stacked: The scene editor sits above the Script editor.
- Side-by-side: The Script editor and scene editor sit next to each other.
Side-by-side is grayed out?If the side-by-side option is disabled, your browser window is either too narrow or your zoom settings are too large. Widen the window or lower your zoom to bring it back.
