The Project panel in Descript offers a full set of tools for managing project files and media. It streamlines the process of importing, organizing, and interacting with different media types in your composition.

To open the Project panel, click Project from the right-hand side of the editor.

How the media library is organized

Understanding how media is structured in Descript will help you manage your content more efficiently:

• Composition: Displays all the compositions in your project.

• Files: Shows all project files you’ve imported or recorded, including audio, video, and media assets.

Adding and interacting with your project files

• You can add media files from your computer, Import YouTube, GIPHY, or Zoom recordings via a URL, organize media into folders, and even create sequences.
• Project file actions let you rename, transcribe/re-transcribe, delete, and apply effects depending on file type.
• Use Project file search to locate files quickly by name. You’ll also find filtering and sorting tools to refine your search.

Replacing and updating files

• You can replace existing project files with new versions containing the same underlying content. This is especially useful when encountering issues with the current project file or needing to swap out a scratch track with a final version.

• You can replace a project file's transcript in Descript. This is helpful when starting with an auto-transcription and later switching to a corrected or pre-written script.
