How It Works

Finding the right sound takes too many steps. MySoundLib makes it one shortcut.

QuickSearch Overlay

Alt + Shift + F over Premiere, DaVinci, or CapCut opens a search bar for your libraries. No window switching.

Instant Trim And Drag

Select just the part of the waveform you need and drag it straight into your timeline.

Why That Matters

No interruptions, and a clean project: only the trimmed sound goes in.

Works with whatever you already use to edit

No plugins needed. If your software accepts dragged files, it works directly.

Hit Alt + Shift + F over Premiere, DaVinci, or CapCut. Search, audition sounds instantly, and drop audio straight into your track without leaving your editor.

About

Built by a video editor, for video editors

I spend most of my workdays editing in Premiere Pro and After Effects. Over the years, my sound library grew to tens of gigabytes across messy folders. Most dedicated audio managers were either built for large post-production studios or required monthly subscriptions just to search local files.

I built MySoundLib to solve that bottleneck on my own edits. The goal was simple: hit a shortcut over your editor, find what you need, and drop the exact slice right onto your timeline. Your files stay on your machine, and you own the app for life.

Audio Files & Sourcing

MySoundLib does not come with audio files.

MySoundLib is a sound manager to organize, search, and trim audio files you already have or plan to obtain in the future. The software does not include built-in sound effects or music tracks.

Where to find sounds

Many video editors and sound designers sell SFX packs at various price points, and some offer free starter downloads. Another great option is searching for public domain (CC0) audio on platforms like the Internet Archive.

We do not sell, license, distribute, or assume responsibility for any sound effects or music files. You are responsible for the licensing and usage rights of any audio files you use in your edits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions & Answers

Which editors and DAWs are supported?

Premiere, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut, After Effects, Final Cut, and Vegas Pro. If your software accepts files dragged from your desktop, it works.

Does dragging snippets modify my original audio files?

No. Trimming is non-destructive. The app creates a temporary clip for your timeline and leaves your original audio files untouched.

Is the $19 purchase a lifetime license or subscription?

One-time payment. You pay $19 once and own MySoundLib with all updates included. No subscriptions.

How does the QuickSearch Overlay work?

Press Alt + Shift + F (or Cmd + Shift + F on macOS) while editing. The search bar opens over your screen, you preview sounds immediately, drag the clip into your timeline, and return to editing.

Are my sound files uploaded anywhere?

No. MySoundLib runs entirely on your computer. Your audio libraries, folder paths, and project files never leave your machine.

Which audio formats can it read and convert?

MySoundLib reads and indexes OPUS, WAV, MP3, FLAC, OGG, M4A, and AIFF. You can convert any of these formats — especially web-downloaded .opus files that video editors refuse to open — into editor-compatible WAV, MP3, FLAC, OGG, or M4A individually or in batch.

Can I organize sounds into separate libraries?

Yes. You can create separate libraries for personal projects, client work, or specific sound packs.

Can I use my license on multiple computers?

Yes. Your license is for your personal use, allowing you to activate it across your own computers (such as your desktop workstation and laptop). Sharing with third parties is not permitted; automated fair-use thresholds apply, and if an unusually high number of activations is detected, simply contact support@mysoundlib.com.

Does MySoundLib come with sound effects or music?

No. MySoundLib is purely an audio manager and workflow tool. It indexes and searches audio files already on your computer or sound packs you buy or download separately. We do not distribute or license audio files.

Stop digging through folders. Keep editing.
