Descript Animation Basics | Create Animated Lower Thirds Template

How to create and use animations in Descript Storyboard. I demonstrate how you can animate objects on the canvas, moving a logo, sliding shapes and text, to create an animated lower thirds element in Descript. I emphasize the practice of positioning the elements in their final on-screen locations before editing the initial and final points of the animation. I discuss the function of keyframes in animation, and the process of adding custom animations to selected clips. Lastly, I show you how to save your created animations into a template for future use in your Descript projects.
