Feature Requests

I just started using your product and I wasted a lot of my AI credits asking questions such where is "x" when Underlord said "go to 'X' or do 'Y' " and I have no idea where it is. It would be nice to have a tour of key functions somewhere.... I tried the chat feature and had to get sent a pic via a link- but alas, that costs me AI credits as well... I think charging me credits to find your features that I should be able to find but couldn't shouldn't impact me and there should be a tour for these features.

I have recurring audio and images that I include for every podcast episode I produce. It takes so much time to have to add this content to each new project. I've created templates so I don't have to recreate these elements BUT would be great to be able to pull from a global user or drive media library instead. Be able to add the multitrack elements as hot buttons where you can drag and drop these elements into a project easily.

Hi there, I’d love to submit a feature request that I believe would be a huge value-add for creators and production teams. It would be incredibly helpful to have a built-in option to generate a “Magic Episode” output, or automatically generate teasers, reels, and short-form clips directly from a recorded episode based on the conversation flow, pace, and key talking points. Similar to how AI can identify highlights, this feature could detect engaging moments, emotional peaks, and important insights, then suggest multiple short-form cuts optimized for social media platforms such as YouTube Shorts, TikTok, and Instagram Reels. This would significantly reduce manual editing time, speed up repurposing workflows, and help creators distribute more content more efficiently while maintaining quality and consistency. I believe this would greatly benefit podcasters, marketers, and agencies using the platform at scale. Thank you for considering this request.

The automatic layout is no longer working. It defaults to 16 by 9, even though we upload portrait mode for shorts, and there's no way to set it up so that we can automatically do that. This is pretty darn stupid.. Is there any way you could put that back in there?

I frequently record audio with my PC mic and video with my phone as the quality is better. Please give us the option to choose which tracks within a sequence are transcribed rather than forcing all or nothing.

I asked underlord "can you edit the transcript so that after each "." the new phrase start with a capital." Long story short, it can't. "In descript there's a function named "correct" which just alter the letters in the transcript but with 0 impact on audio. That's what I need, Can you do that?" It can't do that also it's much needed, cause oftenly the capitalisation is wrong.

When I use AI to shorten word gaps, it goes overboard. It truncates laughter, crosstalk and, often, actual dialogue that, for some reason, Descript didn't transcribe (usually the last word or two of someone speaking). Then I have to play back the entire composition and manually re-extend the shortenings that cut off too early. At the end of it, I don't save any time with this tool. This tool should be changed to just be "shorten gaps" rather than "shorten WORD gaps."

When you put quotation marks at the beginning of a cut, it refuses to go in the proper place. At the cut mark, the quotation mark only goes on the left side of the cut instead of grouped with the word. Like He said, " (cut mark) [quote]." It should be He said, (cut mark) "[quote]" This puts an awkward space when doing captions. This also happens if you try to force a quotation mark when correcting the word. The only workaround is to type the quotation mark in, He said, " (cut mark) [quote]." then type it again, He said, " (cut mark) "[quote]." then delete the first one.
