Recordings Showing As Blank (For Some Users)

Bug report

I've been recording with a colleague using Descript. I have full permissions to his Descript Drive as we both edit and export episodes & clips.

We record two times per week - one long-form (~1 hour) and one short-form (~20 mins).

Over the past two weeks, I can see the long-form recordings and edit them as normal. However, I cannot see the short-form ones. I see them in the drive, but when I click on them they just show up as a blank project. When in the list of recordings, it says the short-form recordings' duration is 0:00.

When my colleague (drive owner) goes into the short-form projects he sees them normally and is able to edit/export.

Things I've tried:

  • Clear local cache on the short-form recordings within Descript
  • Use Descript on an entirely different computer
  • Log in and log out
  • Wait for days to see if the recordings appear for me (assuming something is happening on the backend perchance)
  • Going back to the earliest version using Descript's version control

This feels like a permissions issue to me, but why would it work with our longer recordings?
