How it works
Music on the timeline, not in a separate app.
Bring the video in, pick a mood, balance music under speech, and export or keep polishing the same project.
Upload the clip
Start with the video that needs a soundtrack. Original audio stays editable so voice, music, and the rest of production live in one project.
Video stays editable
Pick the music mood
Ask for calm, upbeat, cinematic, corporate, or product-led. ngram selects a background track from its hosted library that matches the tone and pacing of the cut.
Mood matched to scene
Balance speech and music
Duck the track under narration, line it up with the opening and outro, and keep the key lines clear before the render.
Voice stays clear
Export or keep editing
Render the MP4, or continue into captions, text overlays, brand kit, translation, and multi-format export from the same project.
Ready for channels
What it can do
What the music step does inside ngram.
Add a soundtrack as part of the same ngram video workflow, not a one-off audio export.
Match the music to the message
Set the feel for a launch clip, demo, tutorial, recap, or internal update. The agent picks a track that fits the tone and pacing instead of a generic loop.
Duck music under narration
Lower the background track when speech plays so viewers still catch the words on the first listen, without manually drawing volume curves.
Time the track to the cut
Align the music with the opening hook, body, and outro so the video ends on a beat instead of a random fade.
Pair music with captions
After scoring, generate captions in the same project so the clip still plays in silent feeds without losing the message.

Render the scored video as MP4 and reuse the project for square, vertical, and widescreen cuts without re-mixing.

| Compare | ngram | Kapwing | Canva Video | Descript |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Workflow fit | Adds music inside the same project used for captions, brand, voiceover, resizing, and publishing. | Kapwing supports browser video editing with audio cleanup, stock media, music, subtitles, and quick social sharing. | Canva works well when the video is part of a broader design or template project and the soundtrack is a finishing touch. | Descript centers editing around transcripts and supports music, stock media, and audio effects. |
| How ngram fits | Keeps the soundtrack tied to the storyboard, scene timing, and channel variants instead of a one-off audio edit. | It fits fast online edits and creator-style workflows when music is the main job. | Its editor supports text, media, and audio for design-led videos and social posts. | It is strong for podcast, interview, and text-based edit workflows where music sits under the voice. |
