Add background music and sound effects in PandaStudio

PandaStudio adds background music and sound effects from a bundled library, positioned on the timeline and auto-mixed under your voice on export.

Drop a music bed under the whole video or a section, set its volume so it sits under your voice, and add sound effects on specific moments. The export mixes everything at the levels you set.

In the app

  1. 1Open the Audio tab and browse the bundled music and sound effects.
  2. 2Add a music track; set its start, end, and volume (keep it low under speech).
  3. 3Add sound effects on specific beats (a whoosh on a zoom, a click on a card).

Ask the AI

Open the AI chat in the editor and say any of these. The agent does the edits for you.
