Global Media Library
Leah Jackson
I have recurring audio and images that I include for every podcast episode I produce. It takes so much time to have to add this content to each new project.
I've created templates so I don't have to recreate these elements BUT would be great to be able to pull from a global user or drive media library instead. Be able to add the multitrack elements as hot buttons where you can drag and drop these elements into a project easily.

Restore Template function OR Bring a Universal Media Library

pre-Underlord templates were the workaround for a global media library. Intro and Outro music could be stored as well as multiple layer/caption styles. Intro and outro like to overlap speaking so it's not abrupt but any addition of the template overwrites and removes previous template items like captions or backgrounds. Please restore the original function OR create a universal media library.

Feature Request: Ability to Add Media from Local Library
Udie Chima
I regularly produce a podcast using Descrept and encounter a workflow issue with adding my intro track—it’s either a drag-and-drop from a folder or a copy-paste from a previous episode. This repetition is inefficient.
Feature Request:
Please add a feature to import and easily access media from a local library directly in Descrept. This would allow users to:
Save frequently used media in Descrept for easy reuse.
Reduce time spent on repetitive tasks. This feature would significantly speed up production for regular elements like intro tracks and sound effects. Looking forward to seeing this in a future update!

Massive need +1. I would also like to be able to tag / keyword / name files and be able to search through my global media library. Similar to how you let us search stock photos and videos, I want my own "internal" stock video library!

This is a massive need for the platform! I have this same issue!

Definitely the biggest missing feature which prevents us from moving a lot of our work flows into Descript and just keep using it for random one off projects for now. Though some of the competition is starting to look better because of this feature.

Please: a global media library. Templates are not a replacement for that. The request is 2 years and 5 months waiting already

I think you can create a template for this now. That includes the background images/videos and music and other elements you placed when you add them to the template board.

Agreed - I need this too.

Any update on this? Getting a Custom Asset Library is key for efficient video editing in Descript. No only do I need to import the same assets over and over again, but also they get uploaded each time too. Wasting my time and Descript's storage/traffic resources. Instead give us one place to store assets and it's a WinWin for all of us. :)

Tom Solid: 100% - this is top of my list for descript!
