Release roundup—October 23rd, 2025

We've upgraded to Veo 3.1 and Veo 3.1 [fast], Google's latest video generation models. These replace the previous Veo 3 and Veo 3 [fast] models.

Veo 3.1 maintains the same pricing and capabilities as Veo 3, while delivering improved video quality. All existing generation features work the same way—just with better output quality from the upgraded model.

You can now customize settings based on the AI model you've selected for image and video generation. Different models support different parameters, and the interface will show you which settings are available for your chosen model.

For video generation, depending on the model, you can adjust:

For image generation, you can configure model-specific parameters like number of outputs and other settings that vary by model.

These settings appear in the generation panel when you're using the AI Tools sidebar or working with Underlord. The available options update automatically based on which model you select, so you'll only see parameters that your chosen model supports.

You can now use Underlord directly from the media library in the Project panel. When you open an image or video in the preview popout, you'll see an Underlord button with options to generate new content based on that file.

This gives you the same generation options that are available from the scene toolbar, but now you can access them right from your media library.

We’ve made it easier to setup your Rooms session, before you ever start recording. You can now create invite links that automatically assign participants a specific role when they join your Room. This means you can send different links to different people based on what they need to do in the session and pairs well with Control Room—available exclusively to users on Business and Enterprise plans.

When you click the Invite button, select a role from the dropdown:

Each role has its own unique invite link that doesn't expire. When someone joins from a role-specific link, they'll automatically have that role assigned.

This is useful if you have a fixed cast or want to share a link with viewers who shouldn't be recorded. You can still manually change someone's role when approving their join request if needed.

We’ve added the ability to generate a still image from any frame in your Project. This is helpful when you want to use a specific frame from your composition as a reference image for video generation, but you can also use it for basic stills / thumbnails from your project, fulfilling a long-standing feature request.

To save a keyframe, position your playhead where you want to capture the frame, then click the Layers button in the the Scene toolbar → camera icon to save the current frame to Project files. The captured image will be saved to a "Saved keyframes" folder in the Project panel.

This works well for creating animated title cards—you can design your text and graphics in Descript, capture the frame, and then use it as an input for generating video animations.

You can now transcribe audio and video in Welsh. To use it, manually select Welsh from the language dropdown when transcribing your file.

Since this is still in beta, Welsh transcription will not be detected automatically if you use the "Auto detect language" option. You'll need to select Welsh manually each time you transcribe.
