Wordless media is disabled by default.
Wordless media refers to sections of your Descript script that don’t contain spoken words — such as silence, dead air, ambient noise, or pauses in your content. You can correct, copy-paste, delete, or ignore wordless media from the script, and the underlying video or audio will also be deleted.
Show or hide wordless media in a specific project
- Select the project's name in the menubar.
- Click Project settings from the dropdown menu.
- A Project settings window will open. Toggle the Show wordless media in script option (on to display or off to hide hide) wordless media in the current project.
Enable wordless media for all future projects
If you’d like to show or hide wordless segments (like silences, pauses, or dead air) in your script by default, you can manage this in your App settings. This will apply to all new projects you create.
Disabling wordless media in your App settings will only impact future projects
If you're also wanting to enable wordless media for a current project, you'll need to complete the steps in show or hide wordless media in a specific project.

- From within a Descript project, click the menu in the top left corner, and select Settings.
- Click the General tab in the left sidebar.
- In the Advanced section, toggle the Show wordless media in script option (on to display or off to hide hide) wordless media in all future projects by default.
