Video Editor
Voice & Audio Options
Control the sound of your videos with professional voices, background music, and precise audio tools
The Video Editor gives you complete control over your video's audio experience. You can choose from over 124 professional AI voices powered by ElevenLabs, upload your own background music, and fine-tune your audio with trimming and pause controls.
All audio settings are accessible directly from the Audio tab in the editor sidebar.
Selecting a Voice
Our integration with ElevenLabs provides access to a vast library of high-quality, natural-sounding voices. Finding the perfect voice for your content is simple with our built-in filters.

Adding Background Music
Set the mood for your video with background music. You can use our curated stock library or upload your own tracks to maintain brand consistency.
Using Stock Music
Go to the Audio tab and select Music.
Browse the list of stock tracks. You can filter by mood or genre if available.
Click a track to preview it.
Select the track to add it to your video.
Uploading Custom Music
In the Music tab, locate the upload area.
Drag and drop your audio file or click to browse your computer.
We support .mp3 and .wav formats.
Adjusting Volume Levels
Balancing your audio is crucial for a professional result. You want your background music to support the voiceover, not overpower it.
Use the Volume Slider in the Audio menu to adjust the music level.
Recommended Level: For videos with voiceovers, we recommend setting background music between 10% and 20%.
If your video has no voiceover, you can set the music volume higher (e.g., 80-100%).
Trimming Audio & Media
Precise timing is key to a good video. You can trim the start and end times of your media clips to fit your scene perfectly or remove unwanted silence.
Select the media clip (video or audio) you want to edit.
Locate the Trim controls in the settings panel.
You can adjust the timing in two ways:
Sliders: Drag the handles to visually set the start and end points.
Time Input: Enter specific seconds (e.g., "5.5") for precise control.
The minimum duration for any clip is 1 second. You cannot trim a clip to be shorter than this.
Using SSML for Natural Pauses
To make your AI voiceover sound more natural, you can use SSML (Speech Synthesis Markup Language) tags. The most useful tag is the "break" tag, which inserts a pause in the speech.
This is perfect for:
Creating a dramatic pause before a reveal.
Separating items in a list.
Giving the viewer time to read text on the screen.
How to Add Pauses
Insert the break tag directly into your script text where you want the silence to occur:
<break time="1.0s" />
Common Examples:
<break time="0.5s" />- A short breath or comma-like pause.<break time="1.5s" />- A distinct pause between paragraphs or sections.
Formatting Matters: Ensure you use straight quotes (") and the correct format time="1.0s". While our system tries to auto-correct some formatting, using the standard syntax guarantees the best results.
