A professional-sounding intro can set the tone for your content and instantly engage your audience. With Adobe Podcast Studio, you can effortlessly create, save, and repurpose a custom intro across all your projects, whether you're working on a show, interview series, online course, and much more. Follow this step-by-step guide to streamline your workflow and maintain a cohesive brand identity.

Step 1: Record your intro

Start with a polished, professional-sounding intro. In Adobe Podcast Studio, create a new project and hit record. You can include essential elements such as:

• Your project or brand name
• A tagline
• A unique catchphrase
• Any signature sounds that define your style

Step 2: Add intro music

Enhance your intro with music to set the right mood and energy for your content. You have two options:

1. Upload your own music for a personalized touch.
2. Use our curated royalty-free intro music to keep things simple and professional.

Once you’ve added your music, you can:

• Move (drag) it to a different point in time in your project.
• Split the file into separate clips and re-arrange as needed.
• Fade in
• Fade out
• Set as background (this is great for background music and will play the file at a low volume simultaneously with any content below it).

Step 3: Download & save to your music collection

Once your perfect intro is ready:

1. Download the final version.
2. Save it to your music collection within Adobe Podcast Studio.
3. The next time you create a project, simply place your cursor where you'd like to insert the intro and hit the + button.

This process makes adding your intro seamless and efficient, so you can focus on content creation.

Step 4: Repurpose and refresh your intro

Want to keep your content fresh? Try these quick updates:

• Change the music for a seasonal variation.
• Record a new voiceover to introduce special editions.
