Generating Audio

Generate AI audio tracks for scenes in your storyboard to add voiceovers, narration, or sound effects.

Opening the scene audio editor​

  1. Click on any scene in your storyboard
  2. The scene drawer opens on the right side
  3. Look for the Audio section or button
  4. Click to open the audio generation dialog

Generating audio​

  1. Enter your prompt — Describe the voice, tone, and content you want
  2. Set duration — Choose how long the audio should be (in seconds)
  3. Check the credit cost — Review credits that will be used (8 credits per second)
  4. 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"

Managing generated audio​

Preview audio​

  • Click to play generated audio tracks
  • Listen to different options before choosing
  • Compare multiple generations for the same scene

Using audio in production​

Generated audio from storyboard scenes can be used in the Production editor:

  1. Move to Production mode
  2. Add your storyboard scenes to the timeline
  3. The audio appears as separate audio tracks
  4. 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
