How to recover a lost recording made with the in-app recorder

Applicable to main editor recordings only

This article provides steps for potentially recovering a recording made using the recorder in the main editor. If you encounter issues using the Quick Recorder, please reach out to our support team for assistance.

If you encounter a recording issue while using the in-app recorder, check to see if the recording file can be recovered.

Desktop folder

If Descript stops an Editor recording unexpectedly, we generally create a folder called Descript Recording datetime (for instance, Descript Recording 2022-11-18 09.01.07.483)on the desktop, which should include the file that was recorded up until the crash

Once located, you can then import the recording into the project.
