Feature Requests

I have recently seen some great improvements / more accuracy to my transcripts. I just wanted to give that positive feedback and say thank you.

Please make AI credits budget visible when you're in a project, not having to go to Usage to see my credits. I know you start showing them when you're running out, but you should always show them so we have a better idea of what we're using. It's a new feature and I don't want to have to constantly be doing math to understand how many credits I'm using.

Allow a trash or archive function for old projects

I know the Record with Others feature is in Beta and the Squadcast recorder allowed for scheduling recording sessions. I would love to see that feature added to the Beta because having to send the link minutes before recording is problematic.

Scripts are impossible to edit when the text is scattered across lines...why can't it be arranged to be neat?

In a recent personal project, I was working on a video narrative around pet transport uk to australia ( https://petsletstravel.com/pet-transport-uk-to-australia/ ), mainly to document the entire relocation process in a way that felt clear and honest rather than overwhelming or fragmented. While browsing through discussions and user feedback spaces related to Descript, I noticed how many creators rely on structured editing workflows to turn complex real-life experiences into simple, watchable stories. That idea really helped me shape how I approached the content, especially because this kind of journey involves a lot of steps, timing, and emotional moments that can easily get lost if not organized properly during editing. It also made me think more about how important pacing and narration are when dealing with sensitive or detailed topics like relocation. Using an editing workflow similar to what people describe in the Descript community helped me break the project into manageable sections, especially when working with voiceovers and supporting visuals. Instead of trying to record everything in one go, I found it more practical to structure it like chapters, where each part of the process had its own focus and tone. Transcription-based editing also made it easier to remove repetitive explanations and tighten the storytelling without losing meaning. What stood out most was how much clarity you gain when you can visually see your spoken words and reorganize them, especially for content that involves step-by-step experiences or logistical detail. One thing I noticed from reading through feedback discussions is that many users value tools that reduce friction between raw recording and final output, and that definitely applied here. Even small improvements like cleaner audio flow, simple captioning, and easy rearrangement of segments made a big difference in keeping the narrative understandable. For anyone working on similar real-world documentation, especially topics that involve travel or relocation, having a structured editing approach really helps maintain both accuracy and engagement without making the final result feel overly technical or complicated.

I recently started working on a series of training and coordination materials around international show dog transport services ( https://petsletstravel.com/international-show-dog-transport/ ) and quickly realized how important clear, editable video documentation is for teams spread across different locations. While this isn’t a traditional use case for most editing tools, I found Descript surprisingly practical for breaking down long explanations into structured, easy-to-follow content. Being able to edit video by editing text made it much easier to refine instructions without constantly re-exporting footage or losing track of revisions. What stood out most was how useful the transcript-based workflow is when dealing with detailed operational content. In logistics-heavy scenarios, there’s often a need to revisit exact wording, correct timing instructions, or update procedures without re-recording everything. Descript made that process manageable, especially when working with multiple stakeholders who needed to review and comment on the same material. It also helped reduce confusion when turning long walkthroughs into shorter, clearer training segments. One improvement that could make it even more effective in structured workflow environments would be more robust project organization tools for multi-step operational content, especially when multiple versions of SOP-style videos are being maintained. Features like clearer version tracking, lightweight approval flows, or even shared templates for recurring documentation tasks would be helpful. Overall, it already fits surprisingly well into non-media use cases like logistics training, and small refinements could make it even more adaptable for structured operational teams.

I’d love the ability for producers to adjust a guest’s volume live during a Rooms recording, not just in post-production. This is the only caveat I have with Descript Rooms as opposed to Riverside. This would help keep levels consistent between guests which is a very common issue for me. Is this something that could be added?

Please improve importing video files with multiple audio tracks. Eg, an MP4 from OBS with 1 track for the presenter mic and one track for the computer audio. When uploading to Descript, only 1 track is playing and I'm unable to access the other audio track. Those should automatically turn into a sequence upon import, so that the individual tracks can be mixed (rather than playing only 1)

Currently, I have styled specific elements (like a rectangle with custom colors, border thickness, and in/out animations) that I use throughout my tutorials. To reuse them, I have to scroll back through my timeline and copy-paste them, which is inefficient. I would like the ability to right-click a specific element and "Save to Library." This library should store the element's style and animation properties, allowing me to drag it into any scene across any project as a standalone layer, without applying a full scene Layout.
