Royalty free, customisable music: Now available in Krotos Studio

The Problem with Stock Library Music

Finding the perfect royalty free music for your video edit can be a frustrating, time-consuming task, complete with a whole range of problems.

Do any of these sound familiar?

  • “It’s too short! Now I need to chop & loop it to extend it”
  • “It loops weirdly. I can’t get the timing to be perfect and its really jarring”
  • “It’s almost perfect, but that damned saxophone solo is masking the dialogue and there’s no way to remove it!”
  • “It sounded great when I previewed it, but it just doesn’t…sound right”

We all face these common problems when we have to use library music—either for the sake of time & convenience, or a lack of budget for original music.

So, we set out to make the process of adding music to your video edits much easier. 

Cutting stock music to fit your edit is a thing of the past

With Krotos Studio Music, you get 13 fully customisable, royalty-free music presets, allowing you to sculpt the music around your story rather than forcing a track to work.

Instead of spending time cutting music to fit your timeline, you can control instrumentation, intensity and arrangement from the get go. This means you can remove elements, change the mood or run tracks for as long as you need to.

You can control what plays and when, keeping only the elements you need. Shape the track using the same simple controls you see in any of the sound effect presets in Krotos Studio. 

Unlike downloaded songs from stock music sites, these tracks don’t have a fixed length and will continue to play indefinitely. This means you won’t need to cut and loop the audio file to cover your whole video!

Control the Intensity as Your Video Unfolds

Traditional stock music is static—it doesn’t adapt to your video. Krotos Studio changes the game, giving you real-time control over the intensity and arrangement of the music.

With just a few controls, you can:

  • Crank up the intensity for high-energy scenes
  • Dial it down to sit subtly behind dialogue
  • Control the arrangement of the music for a polished, professional result
  • Keep the mood of a track while removing melodic or percussive elements.
  • Trigger stingers and one-shots for scene transitions

This level of flexibility means your soundtrack evolves naturally, just like a real composer adjusting their performance in response to the scene.

A Smarter Way to Work with Music

Editing pre-made music is like forcing a puzzle piece where it doesn’t fit. With Krotos Studio Music, you’re not just editing, you’re composing. You get access to the building blocks of a track, allowing you to:

  • Dynamically Adjust intensity for seamless storytelling
  • Remove elements to keep things clean and professional
  • Trigger stingers when you need extra impact
  • Refine the mood of a track, without needing to replace it

Krotos Studio Music eliminates common frustrations. Instead of forcing a track to fit, you shape the music around your video in real time. No more struggling with choppy loops, awkward fades, or forced transitions.

Krotos Studio Music: Rewriting the score

For years, filmmakers and content creators have had two choices for scoring their projects:

Hiring a composer—Every creator's ideal first choice. While we’d all love to be able to hire our own Hans Zimmer for every TikTok or YouTube video, but it is all too often out of budget.

Using stock musicAlmost everyone’s second-best solution. which often requires heavy editing to fit the video alongside all the issues we’ve already discussed.

Krotos Studio bridges the gap, offering more of the flexibility you can have with a real composer, without the unaffordable cost or complexity.  No looping, cutting, or syncing struggles—just set the score and go.

This hands-on approach to music is faster, more creative, and more flexible than any stock library. What will you do with it?

Say Goodbye to Stock Music Struggles

Forget the frustrations of slicing and looping stock music. Krotos Studio allows you to remove unwanted sections before you begin, and its tracks play indefinitely, so no more duplicating clips.

Your soundtrack is a critical element that shapes the way your audience feels and engages with your content. Whether it’s a thrilling action sequence, an emotional moment, or a powerful reveal, music elevates every scene.
