Can AI use a reference video to guide my sound design?
Last updated September 26, 2026
Yes. The invideo agent inside invideo Editor can analyse a reference video to help establish a sound-design direction. Tell it which qualities you want to carry into your edit, such as sparse effects, a gradual build-up or strong accents on reveals.
For example: “Use this reference for its quiet background and short, crisp movement sounds. Make the final reveal more dramatic in my video.” The reference gives context, while your instructions explain what should change.
Use the reference to guide choices rather than expecting an exact recreation of its soundtrack. You can ask the agent to find or generate suitable sounds for your footage, then refine their timing and balance on the timeline. This helps turn an example you like into a direction you can actually hear against your own edit.
