Talking Head in Circle with Descript Storyboard

Learn to create a talking head video in a circle with Descript Storyboard. This uses a new feature in Descript added a while ago that allows you to change the shape of the crop mask on a video.

In this Descript Storyboard tutorial, we look at many more tips that lead us to the talking head video: we look at assembling a sequence with multiple tracks, to allow us to create a tutorial video with on-screen recording AND a webcam that is the talking head video, we look at changing the size, shape, corner rounding, we add a backdrop circle, change color and border and we touch on scenes briefly. This allows us to switch our video from the talking head layout to full screen and back.

Overall, a tutorial jam-packed with tips, strategies and learning! Enjoy!
