New in Descript: Drive Search, Recording Requests, ElevenLabs v4 & MiniMax H3
Descript · Oct 2026 · 2:49 · AI-annotated
00:00:00 / 02:49:19
A fast, list-driven changelog built on a strict template: a 3D title card, then numbered black title cards that each hand off to a screen-capture demo capped by a black pill caption, ending on a 3D animal gag and the logo. The pacing is quick and even, with the only signature moves being the slow 3D drift on the opener and the upward scroll of the bug list.
No filming indicatedEstimated needs: 8 capture groups — your screens or recordings · 1 official logo — reused across the film · 4 3D passages — build or supply
