If you’re having issues installing Descript, here are some tips to help you understand the most common installation pitfalls.
Download stalls halfway through the installation
The installation process starts by downloading the installer package. It’s a lightweight application that can be downloaded relatively quickly. The installer package will then initiate the download of the much larger Descript editor package, which can take a lot longer.
If your installer package appears to have stalled partway through, we recommend you leave the installation application open until the download has been completed. If your application cannot be fully downloaded after several hours, please contact customer support or reply to an open request for further assistance.
