Reuse the same intros, B-roll, and background music across projects by importing them straight from another Descript project instead of uploading again. Additionally, when you import a file that’s already had an effect applied (like Studio Sound, Eye Contact, or Green Screen), you won’t be charged again—you’re only charged once when the effect is first applied.

Before getting started

Keep in mind:
  • You need Editor access to a project to import files from it. You cannot import files from projects that you only have Viewer access to. Learn more about Drive member roles.
  • Files can only be imported from projects within your current Drive. You cannot import files from projects on another Drive.
