Feature Requests

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.

Is it possible to have more engaging transitions and effects, especially for shorts? Everyone has them and I expect that even Descript will be able to offer them to its customers. It takes a moment for you to insert them. Thank you!

Hi Descript Team, I'd love to request an improvement to how cuts are handled when deleting words or filler words (like "um," "uh," and "like") from the script editor. Currently, when I remove these words, the resulting video cut feels abrupt and choppy. The jump between the preceding and following words is jarring and looks unpolished, even when the underlying speech is clean. What I'd love to see: • Smart transition smoothing: Automatically apply a subtle audio crossfade and/or a short video dissolve/morph cut around the deletion point to blend the two clips together naturally. • AI-powered frame blending: Use the surrounding frames to generate a smoother visual transition, similar to how some tools handle jump cuts with face-aware interpolation. • Adjustable smoothing strength: Let users control how much smoothing is applied (e.g., a slider from "none" to "aggressive") so it works for both talking-head videos and other content types. • Batch apply on filler word removal: When using the "Remove filler words" feature, apply the smoothing automatically across all deletions at once. This would be a huge quality-of-life improvement, especially for creators who do a lot of cleanup editing and want a polished result without manually tweaking every single cut. Thanks for building such a great tool! Looking forward to seeing this evolve!

I really like the "Regenerate" function when I need a specific word or phrase to be re-said more clearly, however, I noticed that it tends to mess up the audio/video syncing, which is difficult to fix.

When working with multitrack sequences (e.g., multi-participant recordings), it would be very helpful to be able to remove specific participant tracks (by name) through the Agent/Underlord. Currently, the agent cannot delete tracks within a sequence, requiring manual intervention. This would save significant time when cleaning up recordings where certain participants are not needed in the final edit.

I recently went through the process of working with exotic pet relocation specialists ( https://pearllemonpets.com/services/exotic-pet-relocation/ ), and one thing I didn’t expect was how helpful it would be to document everything along the way. I ended up using Descript to record quick voice notes and stitch together a timeline of the whole move, which actually made it easier to reflect on what worked and what didn’t. It’s a bit unconventional, but having a clean way to organize thoughts and feedback helped me stay less overwhelmed during a pretty stressful process. What stood out to me while using Descript is how simple it is to turn rough recordings into something structured and readable. When you’re dealing with paperwork, transport schedules, and animal care details, things get messy fast. Being able to edit audio like text and keep everything in one place made it easier to track conversations with service providers and even prepare questions I didn’t think of initially. I can see why people use it for collaborative feedback, because it naturally fits that kind of back-and-forth refinement. If anyone here is managing a complex process like relocation or even just trying to give detailed feedback on services, I’d actually recommend trying a similar approach. It doesn’t have to be polished content, just something consistent. Over time, those small notes become really valuable, especially when you want to look back and share your experience with others in a meaningful way rather than just relying on memory.

I recently came across the term exotic pet relocation specialists ( https://pearllemonpets.com/services/exotic-pet-relocation/ ) while trying to plan a move with a less common pet, and it opened up a side of logistics I hadn’t really considered before. While browsing feedback platforms like the one linked here, I noticed how often users highlight gaps in niche services that don’t get enough attention. It made me realize how important it is for companies to actually listen when people bring up these specific, real-world challenges. Moving a standard pet is one thing, but when you’re dealing with something more unique, the margin for error feels a lot smaller. What stood out to me while exploring user suggestions on that site is how detailed and practical people can be when sharing their needs. You’ll see posts not just complaining, but offering genuinely thoughtful ideas on how services could improve. That kind of input seems especially valuable for industries that are a bit more specialized, where customer experience can vary widely depending on how well a company understands those unique requirements. It’s interesting how a simple feedback board can highlight trends you wouldn’t otherwise notice. From personal experience, planning something like pet relocation involves a lot of back-and-forth and uncertainty, especially when clear information is hard to find. Seeing communities and platforms where users can openly discuss and suggest improvements gives a bit more confidence that services will evolve in the right direction. It also helps others in similar situations avoid common mistakes or at least know what questions to ask upfront. Overall, I think spaces like this are underrated when it comes to shaping better services. When people share real use cases instead of just surface-level feedback, it creates a more useful resource for both customers and providers. If more niche concerns were highlighted this way, it would probably make complex processes like relocating uncommon pets feel a lot less overwhelming for everyone involved.

Color Adjustments used to be a regular video filter, which makes sense, this is how video editing software works. Moving it into a standalone panel makes color adjustments unwieldy and makes it so they can't be toggled on and off to check the color corrections.... This is a PRIMARY user interaction that has been ignored or otherwise deprioritized.... Did you all do ANY user research for this? Did you do ANY QA or user testing for this?? We need to treat filters as filters, not intrinsic properties of the video. We need to be able to toggle video color adjustments (like in every design software ever created) to be able to directly compare the color adjustments to the original file.

Please add mobile recording support for Descript Rooms either via a mobile browser or a Descript App. Thanks

It would be nice to have a mute button somewhere on the tool bar some where near the volume meter? Sometimes it's good just to watch the video without sound when trying to focus on transitions, animations, elements, etc.
