SFX used in transitions and wipes at DVinfo.net

Jiri Fiala · March 10th, 2007, 05:25 PM

Hello, I would like to get some sound effects used commonly in video transitions, effects and wipes. That kind of swooshy sounds. I was looking at some sample packs, but didn't find anything. Any tips? Thanks!

Please do not post "PM me" or "I've sent you a PM" and leave the remainder empty.

I didn't know I clicked something like that... I wrote the topic as always, without any PM stuff. Sorry for that, anyway.

No, it was my fault....sorry!

I didn't want to be accused of spamming the forum.

So, Colin, can you give me some tips on this kind of sound effects?

Colin Willsher · March 12th, 2007, 01:33 PM

To create noise sweeps and swooshes like those I pointed you to on the website, select a white noise waveform as a source sample in any synthesizer, a noise generator in your video programme or record one from an audio test disc. Then add a low pass filter and sweep the frequency range upwards over time. Add a long reverb or a delay effect and you're done.

You can experiment with different noise sources, filter types, reverbs, delays, chorus and other effects to generate some variations. Cymbals and other high frequency sounds work well too and you can perhaps play around with pitch-changing the source sounds and also multi-layering your filtered sounds to create more interesting effects with movement between the layers etc.

Lots of fun to be had here if you have a little time.

Good luck,

Colin

So where's that website? It's ok to post websites here as long as they don't do business in the line of work of the sponsors...

Jiri Fiala · March 12th, 2007, 06:05 PM

Right, will try with Audacity or similar prog and some synths. Thanks!

You can't be too careful...mods do remove if you deem necessary. :o)

The link in my signature will take you to it but this is the link I gave to Jiri which calls up the desired effects in a search...

Punctuation FX

"Hi Flyer" on page 1 was made with a reversed and pitched cymbal as the source.
"Noise Sweep" on page 2 is the original white-noise effect we were discussing.

Cheers

Colin
