I really like the “Drop a file” feature in Descript — it automatically edits the video by removing filler words, adding visuals, and even inserting B-roll. It saves a lot of time!

It would be great if this functionality could be made available through an API. That way, we could automate video editing workflows using external tools like Make.com, Zapier, or our own custom apps.

Are there any plans to support this?

Thanks for considering it!

I have no idea why your Zapier integration doesn't allow you to send video (it only allows audio), especially since it is the only way outside the GUI to interface with Descript since you have no available API. At least give us one or the other...thanks!

Our users pay for your creator level to transcribe audio in our software, and then cut and paste the transcription. We'd like to call into Descript with our audio and get back a transcription. Is that possible?

For applications that you'd like to give users the ability to clone their own voices to complete functions in the application.

Underlord allows for the selection of models, but it lacks the contextual understanding of my needs. My own Claude Code has a massive Obsidian vault and Contextual understanding based on that, if I could just hook it into Descript that would be incredible.

Hello All!

I would like access to a Descript API personal token so I can integrate Descript into my existing automation and content workflows.

My goal is to trigger Descript actions (project creation, media upload, transcription, and export) programmatically from tools like n8n and other internal services, so that I can streamline my podcast and video production pipeline and reduce manual steps.

Please let me know the process and any requirements (plan level, rate limits, or partnership terms) to obtain a personal token and use the Descript API in a supported way.

access to the API for a non commercial use or a commercial one will be very helpful, and allow many developers to add amazing voices to their apps. there are no realistic speech to text engines that are better than yours, and it would be a huge step forward to use your technologies in software and hardware products.

We like to automate our video editing process and start by applying Sound Studio to incoming videos. If there was an API, we could use this. It's also possible we could create an integration with our Company's video related products.
