We’ve partnered with React Video Editor to bring Lotsofsounds directly into the editing experience.
If you’re building on RVE, you can now search for sounds, grab the right track, and add it to your project without bouncing out to another site, downloading files manually, or second-guessing licensing.
It’s a small workflow change, but it removes a surprising amount of friction.
Why this partnership made sense
Anyone who has built or used a video editor knows the usual audio workflow is clunky. You find a moment that needs sound, leave the editor, search around a stock library, download something, upload it back in, then drag it into place.
That process works, but it breaks focus. It also makes the product feel more disconnected than it needs to be.
The alternative is shipping your own fixed sound library inside the app. That can be fine for a while, but it usually ends up feeling too limited, too repetitive, or too heavy to maintain.
We wanted something better: searchable audio inside the editor itself.
What changes for RVE users
Instead of breaking your flow, you can search inside the editor for exactly what you need:
cinematic whooshsoft notificationocean waves ambient
Pick a result, bring it into the timeline, and keep moving.
No extra tabs. No manual download-and-upload loop. No messy asset hunting in the middle of an editing session.
How it works
Under the hood, the integration is simple: search the catalog, get a result, request a signed download URL, and use that asset inside the editor.
async function searchSounds(query: string) {
const res = await fetch(`/api/sounds?q=${encodeURIComponent(query)}`);
const { data } = await res.json();
return data;
}That keeps the frontend lightweight while still giving developers plenty of control over how audio is surfaced, filtered, and inserted. It also means teams can build custom workflows on top, whether that is a polished media picker, backend logic, or AI-assisted sound selection.
What’s available
The catalog already covers the core categories most editors need:
- music
- ambient
- foley
- cinematic effects
- UI sounds
- nature and weather
There are around 1,500 sounds in the library today, and that will keep growing.
Launch offer
If you’re using React Video Editor, use code RVE20 for 20% off any plan.
What’s next
This first version solves the biggest problem: getting audio into the editor without leaving the editor.
From here, we’re working on making the experience feel even more native inside RVE, including:
- more dedicated audio browsing panels
- drag-from-search workflows
- better preview and waveform tooling
For now, the main win is simple: if your product is built on RVE, adding sound no longer has to feel like a detour.
