I'm sure everyone have seen films where camera is moving through walls and stuff and in post there added some kind of sound effect. It is always used in passing something scenes, it makes scene look much cooler.
Anyone knows where i can get that short sound effect or how it is called?

Thanks!

I know the sound you mean, a sort of "whoosh" - you hear it in those Hong Kong action films when everyone pulls out their guns in slow motion. Try using another sound - like the wind noise you get when a car passes you at speed, and then try slowing it down, or speeding it up...

It probably has a simulated doppler effect, so the pitch will increase then sharply decrease as it fades out. It's probably just some white noise with a fast fade-in-fade-out with a rising/falling pitch.

im not very good in sound editing, but i tried that with wind soundeffect, by slowing it down and changing the pitch, did'nt work.

Maybe anybody knows exact name of effect?

If there is background music, why not just copy a clip and reverse and compress it so that, for example, a steadily decreasing tone spikes at a higher frequency during the transition?
