In a story video the audio is the story. The visuals illustrate it. That ordering should decide how much time you spend on each.
What you'll learn
- How to pace narration for story
- How to use music without drowning the voice
- Why silence matters
Step 1: Narrate scene by scene
Generate each scene separately in Generate Voice so you can slow down the tense parts and move quickly through the setup.
Step 2: One music bed, not five
Pick a single track and let the volume do the work in AI Audio Studio — lift it slightly between scenes, drop it under the voice.
Step 3: Leave room
A full second of silence before a reveal does more than any sound effect. Most beginner story videos have no silence in them at all.
Export a rough audio-only version and listen to it on a walk. Problems you'd never spot at the desk are obvious there.
