ElevenLabs launches Instant Soundtracks to add AI music and effects to video
Overview
ElevenLabs launches Instant Soundtracks, a feature that generates an original score and sound effects for an uploaded video in one pass.
According to the company's blog, the model analyzes the footage for sound effect cues and places each effect at the timestamp of a matching moment, with effects appearing as separate editable layers. Users can use the video's existing audio as a reference for genre, tempo, and instrumentation.
The feature is available starting October 15, 2026 in ElevenCreative, ElevenMusic, and the ElevenAPI. The blog says each request supports up to 10 videos, combined up to 200 MB and 10 minutes of footage.
