I need an API to batch export to mp4 multiple projects
J
Julio Casal
I have dozens of projects for which I need to generate the MP4 files, plus the subtitle files. Since I can't do this in Descript UI, I need a Descript API I can use from a program to perform the export in batch.

Hi Descript Team, I’d like to integrate Descript with my workflow using an API. Specifically, I need an API key to upload videos from Google Drive to Descript automatically. Could you provide me with access to the API or documentation on how to obtain an API key? Thanks!
Lucy
I would love if you could add Google Drive as an integration! Please!

I want to access to the transcript via API to index it in my app and be able to integrate all my video scripts with Chat GPT.

Descript API for all plans - Descript cannot be centralized content Source of Truth
Mary Catherine Arnott
Without Descript API, Descript cannot be centralized content Source of Truth. The lack of Descript API is the single biggest fault in the entire the software.
From one PM to another, I'll break this down:
Pain point: 10/10. Impossible to use Descript as Source of Truth. completely destroys my workflow. Descript is my source of truth and starting point. I cannot track content creation.
Workaround: 2/10. Send to Youtube is an end point. Zapier can only pick it up when the video is published, so no post-production tracking. The workaround is to Send to Drive -> pull to Vimeo -> send to Youtube so I can track video production. WOW. Descript cannot be the source of truth. Major opportunity missed.
Impact: 10/10. If any one has a workflow that actually tracks, I would LOVE to hear about it. I can't settle on a functioning workflow.
Affects: everyone but enterprise. Independent content creators = alienated.
Note: I've been using Descript since December 2024 when I started creating content. It is my FIRST editor - I had no real prior experience with Adobe, Final Cut, Vimeo, Capcut, etc. I did move to Capcut for awhile for the ecosystem but came back to Descript because it is more lightweight, better collaboration, better overall, and gets 80% of the goal accomplished with 20% of the work. I need that API brothers..

We would like to automate the process of reading content from our compositions and processing it with OpenAI ChatGPT API later on instead of having to manually export transcripts first.
