Edit boundaries

Edit boundaries are vertical lines that appear in your script where two clips or edited sections meet. They can look like a gray colon or divider in the script. They are different from scene boundaries and represent where two clips in your script meet. Edit boundaries show up any time you make an edit in the Script editor or Timeline:

• Add video or audio to an existing script.
• Delete or ignore sections of script.
• Make cuts in your script track with the Blade tool.
• Insert a gap clip or a freeze frame in your script track.

​

View edit boundaries in your script

To toggle edit boundaries on or off, go to View > Script > Show edit boundaries.

Smooth edits and restore media

When edit boundaries are showing, you can quickly access two additional features:

• Smooth edits — put your cursor on an edit boundary and click Regenerate to smooth any jumpy, mismatched, or awkward edits. Regenerate defaults to healing both audio and video in video projects. If video regeneration isn’t available for a cut, Descript falls back to Audio only automatically. Learn more about Regenerate.
• Restore removed media — if you need to restore anything you edited out, put your cursor on an edit boundary, right-click, and select Restore removed media from the dropdown. Learn more about restoring removed media.
