Sound as part of the edit

Rkive now includes native audio editing, bringing background music, sound effects, voiceover, and audio enhancements directly into the editing experience.
Audio lives alongside visuals, structure, and pacing. You can shape it with prompts and refine it on the timeline.
Sound is no longer something you add at the end. It’s part of the cut.
Audio reasoning

In most tools, visuals come first and audio is layered on later.
In Rkive, sound evolves with the edit. Music, effects, and voiceover respond to timing, rhythm, and changes in pacing as the cut develops. If the structure changes, the audio adapts.
You’re composing image and sound together, inside the same workspace. That includes shaping existing audio, not only adding new layers.
Original music, made for each post
Rkive can generate original background music that fits the tone and rhythm of a post.
Music adapts to your direction, your style, and the structure of the edit. It can stay subtle under speech or play a more active role in driving momentum.
All music is copyright-safe and valid for commercial use. Because it’s part of the edit, you can change direction or remove it at any time.
Edit | Description | Examples |
|---|---|---|
Background music | Generated to match the edit | LoFi, cinematic, trendy |
Sound effects | Editorial accents placed with intent | Puns, meme hits, SFX |
Voiceover | Planned narration aligned with cut | Hooks, storytelling, CTAs |
Audio enhancement | Cleanup and reshaping of sound | Denoise, isolate voices, ASMR textures |
Sound effects with intent
Sound effects in Rkive respond to creative direction, not mere presets.
They can be restrained or expressive, subtle or bold. Effects appear as real elements in the timeline, so you can move them with precision.
“Keep music subtle under speech, bring it up at the end.”
“Make the intro feel tense, then lighter after the cut.”
“Add a few punchy effects on reveals.”
“Clean up the voices and isolate from background noise.”
“Make the room sound more present, like ASMR.”Sound should be shaped with the cut, not layered on afterward. AI enables custom and reasoned audio edits.
Voiceover, planned inside the edit
When narration is part of a post, Rkive can generate scripts made of timestamped voiceover lines, aligned to specific moments in the cut.
Scripts reflect your usual wording, tone, and strategy. You can refine them conversationally, then record directly inside the editor. Voiceover lands in the right place on the timeline and stays connected to the post.
