Preparation

What you need to prepare:

  • A computer (Windows or macOS)
  • Your video materials.
  • Filmora video editor
Step 1
Analyze the Scene

You should carefully analyze the scene you are working on. It will help you identify various elements present in the clip. Observe the actions and any special effects or impacts occurring in the clip. So you can determine the appropriate sound effects needed for an effective re-design.

Step 2
Match Sound Effects to the Clip

You should select sound effects that match the environment depicted in the scene. For instance, you can add wind sound effects if the scene takes place in a windy setting. If particles or objects collide, use sound effects like fire or electricity to mimic those elements.

Step 3
Adjust Volume and Fade-in

You must ensure a natural and cohesive sound design. Thus, you should adjust the volume levels of the sound effects. Overly loud sounds may appear unnatural. So, you can adjust the volume and fade-in settings to make the sounds blend seamlessly with the scene.

Match Sound Effects to Impacts

Some scenes feature impacts or significant actions. So, you should match the sound effects precisely with those moments. It can be achieved by placing markers at the impact points. That makes it easier to align the appropriate sound effects.

Add Voice Effects

Adding voice effects can make your sound design more realistic. That's because it brings out the characters' presence in the scene. These effects can include sound effect for holiday, dialogue, grunts, or other vocalizations. However, it should match the actions occurring in the clip.
