Tip #161: Final Cut Now Includes Sound Effects
Larry Jordan – https://LarryJordan.com
Hundreds of sound effects to choose from.
If you are like me, you avoid using Photos or iTunes to store images or music.
Why? Because if you ever need to share or archive these files they are really hard to find. I find it much easier to store all project files outside these two applications.
However, what you may not know is that Apple changed the behavior of a Browser so that, while it still shows the contents of your Photos library, it also provides access to a wealth of royalty-free sound effects that you can use in your own projects.
To see what you’ve got, click the second icon in the top left corner of the Browser, select Sound Effects and listen away! You can freely use these files in any project without worrying about royalties or copyright.
That was news to me, too, Larry: sincere thanks.
Neat!
Great tip, Larry! I had no idea they’d expanded their sound library. Duh! There’s some great stuff in there. Thanks again for all you provide.
This folder is empty on my Mac, how can I get these sound effects? FCPX 10.4.6
Denis:
Open Final Cut Pro X (this is true back to version 10.3.x).
Go to the Final Cut menu in the top left corner.
