Audio Controls
When you add music or audio to your project, you get full control over how it sounds.
Volume
Adjust each audio track independently. Lower background music so it does not overpower speech.
Fade In / Fade Out
Add smooth audio transitions at the start and end of a track. Prevents abrupt audio cuts.
Start Position
Set where in the music track playback begins. Skip intros or start from the best part of the song.
Silence Removal
Click the silence removal button in the timeline header to automatically detect and remove silent sections from your audio.
Tips & Best Practices
Add background music at a low volume (10-20%) to maintain engagement without overpowering speech or narration.
Adding even a short fade (0.5-1 second) to your music tracks prevents jarring audio cuts at the start and end.
Silence removal automatically cuts dead air in your audio, making talking-head content feel more dynamic and faster-paced.
You can layer music, sound effects, and voiceover on separate tracks. Adjust each volume independently for the perfect mix.
