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 name in the menubar.
- Click Project settings from the dropdown menu.
- In the Project settings window, toggle the Show wordless media in script option to show or hide wordless media in the current project.
Enable wordless media for all future projects
If you want wordless segments (like silences or ambient pauses) to show in your scripts by default, you can enable this in your App settings. This change will apply to all new projects you create.
Changes to App settings will only affect new projects.
If you want to enable wordless media for an existing project, follow the steps in Show or hide wordless media in a specific project.
- Open Settings > General:
- From Drive View: Click your profile icon in the top left corner, then select Settings.
- From within a 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 Show wordless media in script to turn it on or off for all future projects.
