Give every sound its own moment.

This original six-second example layers primary audio, repeating background music and three separate effects. The first two effects overlap; the third reuses the primary source later in the video. All sounds are synthetic test tones, so you can hear when a track enters and ends. The caption is authored separately; there is no recorded speech.

Download the finished MP4 (64 KB). It is square, 720 × 720, at 30 fps, with H.264 video and AAC audio.

Start with the original files.

These three original mono PCM WAV files are provided for following this example. Each is under 129 KB. The same uploaded file can be used in more than one placement; its source stays unchanged.

Rebuild the six-second mix.

  1. Download the editable scenes. Start a new studio video, open Import a video document, select this JSON and review it before choosing Use imported document. It contains three two-second scenes, with no private media or captions.
  2. Under Audio and music → Primary audio, confirm your permission and upload the primary tone. Set its source start, entrance, volume and fade from the settings below. Leave playback speed at 1×.
  3. Upload the backing tone under Background music, apply its settings and select Repeat music to the last scene. Set Lower music under primary audio to Gentle. Music responds to the primary sound level; the effects keep their own volume.
  4. Open Reuse workspace media, filter to Audio and upload the accent tones. Preview a file, confirm permission and choose Use as sound effect. Add it twice for effects one and two, then reuse the primary tone for effect three. Set each window, source start, volume and fade below.
  5. After setting primary audio and its source trim, download the authored caption file and import it under Captions. Replacing or trimming primary audio clears captions; adding music and effects keeps them. This cue runs from 1.2 to 3.8 seconds and illustrates fixed timing, without speech alignment.
  6. Play all six seconds, including the overlapping sounds and the ending. Save a new version, export and listen to the MP4. Saving or downloading does not publish it.

Download these manual settings as JSON. This recipe uses public filenames; import the separate scene document, then add the audio through your workspace library.

Set source starts and video windows separately.

Source start skips seconds inside a file. Video start decides when its remaining sound first plays. All five tracks below use original playback speed. A zero fade leaves that end unchanged.

The backing track repeats from 0.5 seconds in its source. Its fade-out follows the video's end; each effect fades within its own window. The third effect reuses 0.4–1.2 seconds of the primary file independently of the main recording.

Listen before keeping an overlap.

Use your own permitted recordings when making a finished video. Remixure allows up to three effects beside primary audio and music. Each effect plays once at original speed, from 0.1 to 30 seconds; it must fit the video and available source. Videos with effects are limited to 12 scenes and 60 seconds at 720p, or 30 seconds at 1080p. Each audio file can be up to 6 MB, with 12 MB total unique media per video.

Preview every overlap and listen to the exported MP4. Loud combined peaks are limited, so a busy mix may change the balance. For entrance controls, waveforms and recovery, follow the audio and music guide. Removing an effect keeps its source file in your library; Undo restores the placement.
