The goal is to reduce the need to switch between tools and allow editors to build a first pass of sound design as they cut picture. Introducing the newest product from Krotos, which enables editors to access the media technology company’s “Video to Sound” technology directly within the timeline.
A new integration with Adobe Premiere Pro effectively allows editors to generate and place a first pass of sound design without leaving their project.
Sound design is often handled after picture lock or requires moving between multiple tools, which can slow down iteration during the edit. Krotos addresses this by allowing editors to analyse footage and generate sound elements such as ambience, transitions, impacts, and Foley using professionally recorded sound libraries, placing them directly into the timeline as editable audio. Unlike generative approaches, all sounds are derived from real recordings created by professional sound designers, providing consistent, production-ready results that can be refined as needed.
“Editors increasingly need to move quickly while still maintaining creative control,” said CEO Orfeas Boteas. “By bringing video-to-sound directly into the editing workflow, we are reducing the need to switch between tools and making it easier to build and refine sound as part of the edit.”
Once generated, audio elements remain fully editable within the timeline. Editors can adjust timing, intensity, and variation, or regenerate specific elements without starting from scratch. This allows sound to be incorporated earlier in the editing process, helping teams evaluate pacing, transitions, and overall impact while cutting picture.
