ElevenLabs has introduced Instant Soundtracks, an AI feature that generates original background music and synchronized sound effects for uploaded videos.

Announced on October 15, 2026, the feature is designed to simplify audio production for short videos, advertisements, and other creative projects.

How Does Instant Soundtracks Work?

Creators can upload a video to ElevenCreative. The system analyzes the footage, generates a soundtrack, and identifies moments where sound effects could enhance the scene.

For example, it can generate a transition sound timed to an on-screen movement or logo animation.

Key Features

  • AI-generated music: Creates an original soundtrack based on the video.
  • Automatic sound effects: Generates effects aligned with specific moments in the footage.
  • Audio references: Can use existing video audio to help guide the style of the soundtrack.
  • Editable tracks: Music and sound effects can be adjusted separately in the editor.
  • Developer access: Available through supported ElevenLabs API workflows.

Who Is It For?

Instant Soundtracks could be useful for social media creators, AI video makers, advertisers, and editors who want to add music and sound effects without assembling every audio element manually.

According to ElevenLabs, the feature is available through ElevenCreative, ElevenMusic, and its developer API.

AI Revolution has not independently tested Instant Soundtracks. The features described here are based on the company’s announcement.
