Automated Sound Effects: Krotos Releases Video-to-Sound Plugin for DaVinci Resolve Studio

[13:04 Tue,4.August 2026 � by Thomas Richter] ���

Until now, it was only available for Adobe Premiere Pro, but the Scottish sound design specialist Krotos has now released its AI-powered "Video to Sound" plugin—which allows Foley sounds to be automatically added to a video—for Blackmagic&s DaVinci Resolve Studio as well. The tool is designed to help quickly generate an initial rough cut with video-synchronous sound effects from Krotos&s comprehensive audio library right within the editing software.

AI for image analysis, but no generative AI


However, Krotos emphasizes that AI is only used to analyze the video, employing object recognition to determine which sound should be placed at what point on the timeline. The sound effects used are not generated by AI, but come from a curated library of real audio recordings—either created by their own sound designers or properly licensed, meaning they can be used commercially without concern. Users& video data is expressly not used for AI training.

This is supposed to work just as well for short social media clips as it does for 10-minute films, though the quality will also depend on the respective video footage. Users retain full creative control, as the resulting audio material can subsequently be further processed in a DAW or NLE.

Not all types of sound effects are supported yet; at the launch of the Resolve plugin, the integration covers the following categories:
- Ambiences
- Whooshes
- Risers
- Transitions
- Impacts
- Clothing and fabric sounds

Footsteps (which are already available in the Premiere plugin) and specific spot effects will be added in a future update—at no extra cost to existing subscribers.



Krotos positions the tool as a starting point for the creative process rather than a replacement for professional sound design: it is intended to help editors without their own audio team, as well as production teams, quickly furnish a rough cut with matching effects so they can test the impact of the visuals together with SFX. Professional sound designers can later recalibrate the effects and replace them with even more suitable ones.

How does it work?


Users select a region on the Resolve timeline and choose the desired sound categories. This region is then analyzed, and the matching audio clips are automatically and synchronously positioned onto separate, freely editable tracks. This allows every effect to be easily moved, replaced, adjusted in volume, or supplemented with custom material afterward.

Swapping effects

If a placed effect does not fit the scene, there is no need to manually search for alternatives: the plugin allows individual sounds to be swapped while maintaining synchronization. The swap takes place in the "Results" tab, which opens automatically once the analysis is complete.

Subscription price and availability


However, there are two caveats to using it: the plugin only works in the paid version of DaVinci Resolve Studio, as the free basic version does not support the necessary workflow interfaces. Additionally, a Krotos Studio account and subscription are required. The available subscription tiers are Krotos Studio (50 Video-to-Sound uses for 9.99 euros per month), Studio Pro (100 Video-to-Sound uses for 23.33 euros per month), and Studio Max (200 Video-to-Sound uses for 83.33 euros per month). New users receive one test generation for free. A subscription grants access to the Adobe Premiere and Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve plugins as well as the web interface for sound design.
