Add sound effects to video
The difference between a flat clip and one that feels produced is often the sound design. FrameOS lets you add sound effects on the timeline — whooshes on transitions, pops on emphasis, punctuation on the beat — so cuts and zooms land instead of passing unnoticed.
Sound effects that punctuate the edit
A whoosh on a hard cut, a subtle pop when a zoom snaps in, a hit on the punchline — sound effects tell the viewer's ear that something happened. Placed on the timeline alongside your cuts and zooms, they reinforce the edit rather than sitting on top of it.
Placed on the timeline, not baked in
Sound effects are timeline elements you position and adjust, so you control exactly where each one lands relative to the cut or zoom it's punctuating. Nudge the timing, swap the effect, or remove it — nothing is committed until export.
Pairs with auto-zoom and transitions
Sound effects are most effective when they align with a visual event. FrameOS's auto-zoom and cuts give you the visual beats; sound effects give them an audible edge, so a zoom-in on a key line both looks and sounds intentional.
Part of the same editor, not a separate app
Because sound effects live in the same timeline as your clips, captions, and audio, you're not exporting to a separate audio tool and re-importing. The sound design happens in the same session as the rest of the edit.
Sound effects workflow
- Whooshes, pops, and emphasis sounds on the timeline.
- Position each effect against the cut or zoom it punctuates.
- Pairs with auto-zoom and transitions for aligned beats.
- Edited in the same session as clips and captions.
FAQ
Can FrameOS add sound effects to a video?
Yes — sound effects are timeline elements you place to punctuate cuts, zooms, and emphasis moments, adjustable until export.
Can I control where each sound effect lands?
Yes. Effects sit on the timeline, so you position each one precisely against the visual event it's punctuating.
Do sound effects work with auto-zoom?
Yes — aligning a sound effect with an auto-zoom makes the moment land both visually and audibly.
