Release roundup—September 24th, 2025

We're changing how we track usage in Descript, which means we're updating our subscription plans. As of yesterday, Free users have been onboarded to these updated plans, while existing paid users will stay on their current plans for now.

Your Descript Free plan now includes:

We've also expanded your access to AI-powered editing in Descript, including:

If you're a paid subscriber, your current plan and pricing remain unchanged for now. Later this year, all plans except those on enterprise will be updated to include media minutes and AI credits, with at least 30 days notice before any changes occur. In most cases, this transition will not impact the price you pay.

You also have the option to switch to our new plans immediately to take advantage of media minutes and AI credits, including access to exclusive features like the latest generative video models.

For more details about these changes, including a full breakdown of what's included in all plans, check out our comprehensive FAQ in the Help Center.

For users on the new plan types, we’ve added new premium, supercharged generative model options to the settings menu.

These models offer higher quality output, delivering significantly improved quality, particularly with video models like , and image models like . They can also provide better character consistency across image generations, maintaining appearance and identity across different angles and scenes.

The following image generation models are available:

The following video generation models are available:

You can select your generation models in the section. For users on the new plans, these different models have different credit costs. The model picker displays the price of each model with a tooltip containing additional information.

You can now bring your images to life right from the Scene editor (formerly known as the Canvas.)

With the brand-new Turn into video button, you can instantly transform any image in your project into a vibrant, dynamic video clip—no extra tools needed. In just a few clicks, your still images become animated visuals, unlocking fresh creative possibilities and adding motion to your storytelling.

You can also do this via an Underlord prompt, or directly from the .

With Descript's video generation, your b-roll can do whatever the moment calls for—clarify a concept, carry a metaphor, or add a spark of personality.

We're pleased to announce that we’ve returned the Transcription glossary as a feature for all plans. Previously, we limited this to Business and Enterprise Drive users as part of Brand Studio, but after receiving feedback that users valued this feature across all plan types, we've decided to make it universally available again.

If you’d like to automatically add words you correct frequently, there’s a toggle available on the Transcription glossary panel. The Transcription glossary still offers enhanced team-level features for Business and Enterprise plans, while now providing essential functionality for all users.

We've quadrupled the word limit for Quick design from 300 to 1200 words. This expanded capability allows you to transform longer scripts into visually engaging content without needing to split them into smaller sections.

The new 1200-word limit is available to all users now. Simply select Quick Design from the sidebar and enjoy the expanded capability for your longer scripts.

We've made some upgrades to our Video regenerate feature with a new high-quality model that delivers more natural and accurate results.

We’re continuing to work on and improve the model. Give it a try and let us know if it performs better for you!

This month, we’ve invested in improving quality of life across the board for Rooms users.

First, we’ve added new camera resolution controls to Descript Rooms for Hosts and Guests.

These new controls all you to optimize for your internet connection by selecting lower resolutions when bandwidth is limited or record at higher resolutions when quality is your priority. The resolution picker can be found in your camera settings both before and during your Rooms calls. Simply click on your camera controls to access these new options.

Next up, we’ve added the ability to record your audio files as lossless WAV files to ensure the highest quality audio is transferred to your final project and exports.

Room hosts, co-hosts, and producers can now enable a new setting to generate lossless audio for all participants in a session. When enabled with video recording, you'll receive both a MOV file with lossless audio built in and a separate audio-only WAV file.

WAV files are lossless audio captures and store all your audio data without compression. Nothing is thrown out, so playback sounds exactly like the original recording.

Finally, Audio Only mode lets you see video during your session while only recording high-quality audio. This feature is perfect for podcasters and audio-first creators who want the benefits of face-to-face conversation without the longer upload times and complex editing of video. You can toggle it on in the Rooms settings menu.

We've revamped our audio and video file recovery system for greater reliability. Your recordings in Rooms, Editor recorder, or Screen recorder are now better protected against network issues, crashes, and other problems.

The system works on the same device and browser that made the original recording. For best results, keep your recording tab open until uploads complete.

These improvements make recording with Descript more reliable and stress-free.
