Synced effects for transitions, impacts, and visual storytelling moments
Sound design that makes your music video hit different
Music videos aren't just about the song — the best ones have a sound design layer that elevates every visual moment. The bass drop that syncs with a camera slam. The atmospheric texture under a slow-motion sequence. The subtle foley that grounds a narrative scene. Effct adds this layer automatically, analyzing your visual cuts and placing effects that complement the music without competing with it. Choose Atmospheric for abstract visuals, Cinematic for performance pieces, or Minimal to keep things understated.

Frequently asked questions
Won't the sound effects interfere with the music?
The Atmospheric and Minimal presets are specifically designed to add subtle, complementary textures. They enhance visual moments without competing with the song. You can also adjust individual sound levels in the Timeline editor.
