Add Audio-Driven Effects

Step 1. Find Audio-Driven Effects

Open Filmora on your Mac and click Create Project. Import your video and audio files, then place them on the timeline. Select Effects from the top toolbar, expand Audio Effects in the left panel, and open Audio-Driven Effects to browse the available options.

Step 2. Apply an Effect to the Timeline

Step 3. Customize Effect Sensitivity

Double-click the effect clip on the timeline to open its properties panel. Under Video > Basic, locate the Sensitivity slider. Move it to adjust how strongly the visual effect responds to the audio, then preview your changes.

Step 4. Apply a Mask to the Effect

To restrict the effect to a particular area, select its clip and open the Mask tab in the properties panel. Choose an available mask shape and adjust its position and size. Preview the video to check how the effect appears within the selected region.

Remove Audio-Driven Effects

To delete an applied effect, select its clip on the timeline and press the Delete key on your Mac keyboard. Alternatively, right-click the effect clip and choose Delete from the context menu. The effect will be removed without deleting the underlying video footage.
