You’ve asked and it’s finally here!
We are incredibly excited to announce a new way to search for audio assets in the Marketplace: by file length! Whether you’re looking for a short sound effect or a long background music track, now you have the ability to set exactly the length you are looking for to easily find the best audio for your game.
To take advantage of this feature. head over to the Marketplace inside Studio and navigate to the Audio category via the dropdown menu. Next, open up the side filter menu and choose a start and end time length between 0 seconds up to 7 minutes. You can either input them directly with the text inputs or with the handy slider. This feature can be used in conjunction with keyword and creator search too! Check it out!
When searching for audio, it’s important to be able to preview content! We have added the ability to preview audio from within the Asset Preview as well as from the tile view in search results. Additionally, when hovering over assets in tile view, you can easily see the time length of each file!
This was a feature that was greatly requested by all of you so we hope that it greatly improves efficiency when searching for audio assets!
Note: This feature is currently only available in Studio.
Huge shoutout to the awesome team that made this happen: @iriszh, @oldmannt, @QuantumOrbital, @ApplePineCake, @St4rst0n3, @April_Sheep, @KurtisC07, @portenio, and @longlongchien!
