Create and save your own templates

You can now create and save custom templates in Descript. When you find a prompt that works well with Underlord, save it as a template so you can reuse it anytime—no more copying and pasting prompts.
To create a template:
- Click the Homebutton in Descript
- Click Browse more templates
- Click New template
- Enter your prompt and fill out the template information
Your saved templates will appear in the template gallery under "Created by me."
Note:
Custom templates are private and visible only to you. You can't edit or delete them after creation, but these features are planned for future updates.Click here to try it now.
More languages for translation and dubbing
Descript now supports 39 additional languages for translating captions and dubbing.
6 new languages with both caption translation and dubbing:
Bulgarian, Filipino, Indonesian, Russian, Tamil, and Ukrainian
5 new regional language options:
English (UK), Spanish (Spain), French (Canada), Portuguese (Portugal), and Chinese (Traditional)
Regional variants apply to captions only—the dubbed voiceover will use the standard language without a regional accent.
27 new languages for caption translation only:
Afrikaans, Armenian, Assamese, Azerbaijani, Belarusian, Bengali, Bosnian, Welsh, Estonian, Galician, Hausa, Javanese, Georgian, Kazakh, Luxembourgish, Macedonian, Malayalam, Marathi, Nepali, Punjabi, Sindhi, Somali, Serbian, Swahili, Telugu, Thai, and Vietnamese
You'll find these new options in the Translate menu under AI Tools.

Glass blur
Add a frosted-glass effect to any shape or text element in your project. Glass blur softens the appearance of content underneath the element, making it useful for directing attention or obscuring things you don't want to show in your videos.
To use Glass blur:
- Add a shape or text element from the Elements panel
- Select the element and click the Effects button
- Choose Glass blur and adjust the blur radius to your preference
Note:
Glass blur is a visual effect only and should not be relied on to securely hide sensitive information. For secure redaction, use a solid shape with 100% opacity instead.Prorated charges now display correctly
When you upgrade to a different subscription plan mid-cycle, you'll now see the prorated cost displayed during checkout. Previously, the full price was shown even though you were only charged the prorated amount.
This fix ensures the checkout flow accurately reflects what you'll pay when upgrading between plans.
