Cinematic impacts, risers, and transitions — synced and ready

Trailer sound design that hits as hard as the footage

Trailers live and die by their sound design. The right bass hit on a title card. The riser that builds tension before a reveal. The whoosh between rapid cuts. This is the kind of sound design that used to require a specialist with a Pro Tools session and a high-end SFX library. Effct's Cinematic and Tense presets are built for exactly this — they analyze your edit for dramatic moments, title cards, and rapid cuts, then place impactful sounds that make your trailer feel like it belongs in a theater.
