Layer background music and sound effects to finish your audio.

Music and sound effects are the final layer that makes content feel finished rather than raw. A background track sets the emotional tone before a single word is spoken, and a well-placed effect makes a moment land. Both are generated right inside the same canvas as everything else.

Mood first, accents second

Start with the music, because it decides how the whole piece feels - calm, energetic, tense, playful. Then add sound effects as accents to punctuate specific beats: a click, a whoosh, an impact. The two work together, but the music is the bed and the effects are the highlights on top.

  1. 1Generate a background music track that fits the mood.
  2. 2Add sound effects for specific moments in your clip.
  3. 3Balance the music, effects and voice so nothing overpowers.

Keep background music quieter than your voiceover so the narration always stays clear. If a viewer has to strain to hear the words, the mix is too loud.

With image, video, voice, music and effects all in one place, you can carry a single character all the way from a still to a fully scored clip. The next track shows how to run that whole pipeline from a chat - and how to package it into one-click workflows.
