Descript: changing one shot
Descript explains changing one shot or scene in “Replace media (B-roll, images, audio) in your composition”: swapping one clip, image or audio file while its edits and captions stay. From 1 source page, read 2026-09-25; no maker pays to be listed.
The Replace Media option lets you swap out media without losing edits, captions, or other adjustments.

2About the step
It is the least documented step on the map. In a drama it matters most, because one wrong shot in a sequence is the usual problem, and redoing the whole sequence costs time and credits.
