Create a new project

Create a project from the drive view or from within an open project.

Projects and compositions

A project is the top-level container for your work in Descript. Each project can contain multiple compositions — for example, a rough cut and a final version. Learn more about projects and compositions.

From the drive view

Click New project in the top-right corner, then choose the type of project to create.

New projects save to your personal private workspace by default. On Enterprise plans, the New project button includes a workspace picker — choose a destination before creating the project. 

Drive admins can also change the default save location so new projects save to a different workspace. Learn more about workspaces.
