Two ways to access the recorder

Editor recorder

The Editor recorder allows you to record directly into an open project when you want to create something new, or update an existing project with new media.

Quick recorder

Descript also includes a Quick recorder for creating recordings on the fly without having to open a project. It's the perfect tool for quickly creating and sharing videos with others.

Key differences

It’s important to note a few differences between the two recorders:

• Video recording or screen capturing in the editor will record separate video and audio tracks and create a multitrack sequence with them, whereas the Quick recorder will create a single video file containing both video and audio tracks.
• The Quick recorder is generally known to be less labor-intensive on your computer than the Editor recorder.
• If you use the Editor recorder for a screen recording with your camera enabled, you will not see your camera feed during the recording.
