Sound Effects (SFX)

Sound effects (SFX) are short audio clips added to emphasize specific moments — a swoosh on a transition, a ding on a key point, a boom on a reveal. SFX can be sourced from libraries like Freesound, custom recordings, or AI-generated audio. Auto-add features can intelligently place SFX based on script content.
