Wow! I'm blown away by how differently our minds work. Most likely because you're a pro and I'm not, but I would have gone about that totally differently to get the same result. Having said that, you introduced me to sequences which is something I've not used, and do not understand. I went back through your descript videos and it appears you have not covered the topic. Would you consider making a tutorial covering sequences and how to use them? See I would have done all that work in the text. I would have made the scene boundaries where I needed them, copied the scene and pasted it on itself, cropped and blurred without ever touching the timeline. I avoid it at all costs unless I'm doing an animation. Which is probably why most of what you've shown seems so advanced to me.
Thanks a lot! I mention sequences in many of my videos but here is one where I show how to assemble it correctly from scratch: How to Correctly Assemble Multi-track Sequence in Descript ua-cam.com/video/zYp4KsS4muE/v-deo.html
Hey man, great content, thank you! I realized recently that if I put the cta not at the end of the video but before the last point of the video, more people will see it. So for example let's say you have 3 points you want to hit in your video, you would go point1, point 2, cta (join the club), point 3 Just thought I'd share in case that's helpful.
This is very informative. Thank you for the cleverness and showing us some areas Descript needs improvement. I assume simply putting a rectangle shape over an area and changing the opacity doesn't really get the job done and/or did you just want to give us options?
I would be nice but then it would have to record in higher resolution to help keep the video crisp as you zoom in. Camtasia has such a feature to automatically zoom in areas where the cursor is focusing. It's not great, but can be used with little tweaks.

Thank you, mind blowing that Descript has not introduced a simple fix for this.
I think it looks simple on the surface, but behind the scenes, I'm sure it's no trivial task.

Thank you, that makes sense. However, I want to keep the video non-salesy for the most part.

Glad it was helpful! That's true, simply adding a rectangle on top and changing opacity will not blur anything.
Imagine if descript had a zoom and follow mouse feature.

worked well - not too difficult either. Thanks!
You're welcome! Glad it helped.
Great workaround, thanks Cristi!
You are welcome, hope it helped.
worked perfectly! thank you
Great to hear!
thats very complex just for a blur
I know, right?
Thank you!!
You're welcome, glad you found it useful.
Great advice Cristi. Exactly the workaround I needed. Thank you!
You're so welcome!
