CapCutTry it →Watch full video →Content Creators ·

Demo summary

The creator demonstrates syncing whoosh and glitch sound effects to visual animations and adjusting background music volume to -20dB.

Step-by-step

  1. Import sound effects into a folder and drag the desired clip onto the audio layer below the video.
  2. Align the sound effect waveform with the visual transition on the timeline.
  3. Adjust volume by dragging the horizontal line on the waveform or using the Basic tab in the audio settings.
  4. Shorten long sound effects by dragging the edges of the clip to match the duration of the visual animation.
  5. Create a natural introduction for harsh sounds by dragging the small dot on the clip to create a fade-in.
  6. Import background music and drag it onto a new audio layer.
  7. Lower the background music volume to approximately -20dB to ensure it doesn't overpower the dialogue.

Options

  • Adjust volume via the timeline waveform line or the Basic settings tab
  • Use free music from YouTube's audio library
  • Use paid music from Epidemic Sound

Tips

  • Add sound effects at every opportunity possible throughout the video to enhance the edit.
  • Use your ear to finalize volume levels as the ideal DB depends on whether the song is naturally loud or quiet.
  • Break the video into chapters by introducing a new song for each new segment of the video.
