Yes, after the projects are exported in WeVideo, you can upload pre-recorded audio descriptions or transcript files to generate audio descriptions for the exports. After audio descriptions are added to the exports, an Audio Description option will appear in the WeVideo video player when users play the video, allowing them to toggle the audio descriptions on and off.
