Generating Audio
Generate AI audio tracks for scenes in your storyboard to add voiceovers, narration, or sound effects.
Opening the scene audio editor
- Click on any scene in your storyboard
- The scene drawer opens on the right side
- Look for the Audio section or button
- Click to open the audio generation dialog
Generating audio
- Enter your prompt — Describe the voice, tone, and content you want
- Set duration — Choose how long the audio should be (in seconds)
- Check the credit cost — Review credits that will be used (8 credits per second)
- Click generate — Submit your request
The audio starts generating and will appear in your scene when ready.
Credit costs
Audio generation uses 8 credits per second:
- 5-second audio = 40 credits
- 10-second audio = 80 credits
- 30-second audio = 240 credits
💡 Cost appears before you submit — You'll see exactly how many credits will be used based on your chosen duration.
Writing effective audio prompts
For voiceovers
- Specify the voice type: "Professional male narrator" or "Friendly female voice"
- Include the tone: "Excited and energetic" or "Calm and reassuring"
- Add the content: "Say 'Welcome to our new product launch'"
For sound effects
- Be descriptive: "Footsteps on gravel" or "Ocean waves crashing"
- Include environment: "Indoor echo" or "Outdoor ambience"
- Specify intensity: "Gentle rainfall" or "Heavy thunderstorm"
For background audio
- Set the mood: "Upbeat corporate music" or "Mysterious ambient sounds"
- Consider the scene: "Coffee shop chatter" or "City street noise"

Using audio in production
Generated audio from storyboard scenes can be used in the Production editor:
- Move to Production mode
- Add your storyboard scenes to the timeline
- The audio appears as separate audio tracks
- Adjust volume, timing, and mix with other audio
Tips for better results
Match scene timing
- Set audio duration to match your scene duration
- For shorter scenes, consider brief sound effects
- For longer scenes, use continuous voiceover or background audio
Consider your narrative
- Reference your scene narrative in the audio prompt
- Match the audio mood to the scene content
- Think about how audio supports the visual story
Plan for mixing
- Generate audio that will work with music and dialogue
- Consider the final mix when choosing audio levels
- Leave room for other audio elements in production
Troubleshooting
Generation is taking too long
Audio generation typically takes 1-2 minutes. Check your internet connection if it's taking longer.
Audio doesn't match expectations
- Refine your prompt with more specific details
- Try different duration settings
- Generate multiple versions and compare
Insufficient credits warning
If you see a credits warning:
- Check your available credits in account settings
- Consider purchasing more credits or upgrading your plan
- Adjust duration to reduce credit cost
Cost management
Planning your budget
- Preview credit costs before generating
- Use shorter durations for testing ideas
- Generate final audio only after you're happy with the prompt
Credit efficiency
- Write detailed prompts to avoid regenerating
- Test with shorter durations first
- Generate audio for your most important scenes first
