The use of sound effects in your video can totally change the feel of it and
really capture the viewers attention.
Hey I wasn't done with you get back over here
here don't talk to me like that go to your room how many different audio
effects do you think I just used right there I bet you it was more than you
think and I use them in ways that I bet you haven't thought of stick around I'll
show you how I'm but really frizzy today. hit the subscribe button and click the
notification bell to be part of the conversation this is the breakdown of
that entire intro hawk first I started by scripting the idea and filming myself
acting out the components that I would need to make this happen you can see me
looking down and pretending to see the words fly off the screen
I found the title animation that I wanted to use and drop those in so that
it looked like I was interacting with the text but here's where the real magic
starts to happen the first thing I did was to add this swooshing sound of the
text flying away off the screen this is actually a free sound effect of someone
swinging as if to throw a punch at someone I found this on the YouTube
sound effects library I just isolated one swoosh and synch the timing up to
the words racing off the screen I also knew I wanted my usual music bed so I
dropped that in right at the beginning but I did something very intentional
here I wanted to draw attention to my interaction with the text so when it
leaves the screen I cut the music that worked great but it felt a little bit
dry to me just having it stop so I found the sound of a record scratching and
toss that in right where the music stopped that not only made it sound like
someone had pulled the neill off of a turntable and stopped the music it
actually helped accentuate the swooshing sound of the text racing off the screen
next I wanted to call that text back like it had been out bad kid or
something so after I read that line I pretended I saw the text coming back in
and I dropped another piece of text above to fit that timing I used the same
swooshing sound for it coming back in but I wanted the return sound to have
some real personality I wanted to make it sound like it had been sucked back
right to where it was but I couldn't find a free sound effect that had that
sound I heard in my head so I found a free sound effect of a bullet hitting a
car and dropped that right in there but I did something that I've done before I
reversed that sound effect instead of the bang of the bullet firing and the
sound trailing off now it builds up to a sudden stop it almost sounds like time
being reversed which works perfectly for this section next I wanted that text to
actually talk to me but what would talking text sound like I
had no idea and I could not find anything that made sense to me so I
turned to another sound effect trick called Foley Foley is the art of
creating your own sound effects I had the idea that the text might sound
something like a high-pitched chattering so I took my son's sleeping bag out of
our camping gear and put it in front of the microphone I just rubbed my hand
back and forth quickly over the bag that it was packed in and that gave me this
sound what I also really wanted was for the text to sort of move when it spoke
and the easiest way to accomplish that was just to add a shake effect to the
entire section of footage I dialed that effect into where I liked it and cut the
links so that it worked perfectly next I wanted to send my text back off-screen
so I told it to leave added another swoosh effect underneath and this time I
used that same bullet sound effect but in regular forward speed that made it
sound like my text took off like a bullet once the text had left and before
I started speaking again I started my music track right back up at that spot
so how many audio sounds and effects did I use to make this little clip come to
life well let's take a look including the
music bed sections I used one two three four five six seven eight nine nine
sounds to make this video track come to life and all of them are completely free
I'll leave a link below to the YouTube audio library where you can download all
sorts of free effects to use in your YouTube videos play with them spin them
around have some fun! I'll talk to you soon. Peace
