Navigating Descript

Welcome to Descript

Descript is a powerful creative platform that brings together audio and video editing, screen recording, publishing, and AI-powered tools — all in one workspace.

When you open Descript, you’ll spend most of your time in one of two places:

  • The Drive view — your home base, where you can access all your projects, AI speakers, custom layouts, and the Learn Descript hub.
  • The editor — where you create and edit content inside Descript projects and compositions.

What’s a Drive?

All Descript subscriptions — even Free — include a Drive, a central workspace for your projects, layout packs, shared AI speakers, and more. Learn how to set up and manage your Drive.

The Drive view

The Drive view is where you manage and organize your projects, team members, subscriptions, and workspace content. Take a tour of the Drive view

The editor

Inside a project, the editor is your creative workspace — where you edit scripts, audio, visuals, and more. It’s where all the hands-on editing happens. Get to know the editor interface
