All right, welcome back to another video, Ladies and Gentlemen.
Now that you know where to get
your sound effects and music as we ran through in the last video.
Now I'm gonna kinda show you how to download your sound effects into Premiere Pro,
how to import them, how to keep your bed nice and organized.
And then we're going to show you what kind of effects that you can do with your sound,
that sound design in why do you even use sound design in the first place?
So let's quickly do that,
but let's start with one thing at a time.
So first let's go in,
let's go to the YouTube library,
like we did before.
And we could type in anything here.
Let's say ice. I'm not sure.
I dropped. Maybe. Maybe not, maybe.
Let's just take any sound effect here.
Truck driving, straw squeak.
Sure, this works.
And then to download it,
all you do is you come over here to download.
You'll download that.
And then once that's done,
you'll come over here.
You come right here, and then you widen out
your media Ben so you can see more and then double-click on your sound effects Ben,
RDF sound effects in here right now,
and then double-click again.
And you go over to downloads and you will see your straw squeak right there. Click open.
It'll import and then you can simply drag and drop it to your timeline.
And there you go. Now obviously we're not going to use straw squeak,
but that was a perfect example of how to import it into your timeline.
That's incredibly annoying.
So I'm going to stop doing that.
Sound design is very important to bring your video to life because,
for example, why use it?
Well, here's a perfect example.
We see in this next clip,
ice falling into a cup and we
don't hear any sound in it just feels like there's something missing.
There's something missing from this video and it's
a sound effect of what you would hear in real life of ice dropping.
Well, I've already downloaded ice dropping sound effects,
so I'm just going to drag and drop that over.
And I'm gonna kinda show you what you can do with sound effects.
So the first thing I would do is listen to it.
So I would look for where it drops.
I'd go with my right arrow key on my keyboard.
And it looks like the ice hits the cup right there.
Perfect. So I would start the sound effect right there.
Let me just zoom in a little bit to get that perfect.
And boom.
And then there's another one that drops right there.
So I'll, I'll highlight that clip and then to copy and paste his clip.
The easiest way to do it is by clicking the clip,
click Alt on your keyboard and drag up,
and it will create a second one,
and then I'll drag it over right there.
And let's play that back.
And then you got awesome realistic sounding ice sound effects.
I wouldn't really edit the audio anymore in this,
but let's say you wanted to.
So in this video we are going for a very powerful,
I'm personally going for a very powerful fast pace vibe.
My challenge to you guys was to edit it,
how you want, how you personally think is best.
So maybe you're going for a different vibe.
Maybe a luxury slow pays five.
But given me going for a powerful, fast-paced five,
I want allow Bram type of sound effect right here in the beginning to just introduce you,
which I do have downloaded here.
So I'll look for it.
I think that this is the one right here,
but it starts off really loud and I don't want to scare my listeners, so, oops.
So one of the sound effects are one of the effects that I'll due to this audio.
And in effect, it you'll likely need is to fade it in.
So let's listen to it before it's faded in.
So it's kinda like, OK, that's a little aggressive.
That if I was watching that on Instagram,
like in a waiting room at a doctor,
I would scare everyone else and myself.
So at least in it fades in,
you kinda get a warning to turn down your volume.
So all you do is you come right here
and you go to the beginning of the clip and where that red arrow toggle.
When the red arrow activates like that, you just right-click.
Go to apply default transitions.
And now you can fade in your audio.
And if you just hover over it,
you can make it as far as you want.
So now let's listen to it. The fade it in and it was a lot better,
a lot less, a lot less aggressive.
So now what if you want to turn your volume down or adjust the volume?
And how would you do that?
Right, that's loud, so I want to turn it down.
So first thing I'll do is I would click on the clip out,
come up to volume up here and effect
controls and its key frame right now because this is toggled,
toggled clock is toggled on.
So I don't want it to be keyframe.
I want to turn that off,
so I'm going to click on the clock.
So it's deactivated, is no longer highlighted is blue.
And I'll turn this down. I'll just move my mouse.
I'll hover over it and move my click and hold and
move my mouse to the left to turn that down.
And negative 11. Now let's give it a listen.
I wouldn't make it that low,
but that's how you adjust your volume.
And there's a lot of audio effects that you could do if you
come up here to the effects tab at the top right,
you have a whole Audio Effects tab filled with audio effects.
I personally rarely, rarely do anything else my audio other than what I just showed you,
the only thing I really ever do is do a fade-in or adjust the volume.
It's really as simple as that.
When doing sound design and music,
and sound design is literally sound effects.
And we're gonna do music, the music later,
but for now we're just focusing on sound design.
So, so far, this is what we have just with the fade.
Right? So it faded in right there.
That was nice.
And then right here at the ice,
you could see when you place those perfectly,
how good it comes out in how realistic and how much life at ads.
And let's listen to that again.
And now let's listen to it again without the sound effects.
You see how much that made a difference.
Let's do it one more time.
Without width.
So you can see how much more realistic sound effects make
your video How Much more life it brings, as I said.
So now what I'm gonna do,
because I'm gonna get my music from different platforms.
You may or may not have the paid version of epidemic sound or art list.
If you do, great,
if you don't, no problem,
go to Youtube Studio, get the free music there.
There's also freesound.org. You have to sign up,
but you can get free sound effects from there as well.
And just go ahead.
I'm gonna go ahead and fast-forward through
a little montage for you so you can watch me do my sound design.
But I'm not gonna do a follow along here
because I have no idea where you're getting your music from.
An I don't know if you want to purchase these licenses just yet.
So go ahead and decide for yourself what you want to put.
Maybe you want to put a whoosh sound effects somewhere in here.
Just what is your gut telling you?
What do you feel like you should be hearing?
Watch it and what do you feel like you should be hearing like right here?
I feel like I should be hearing Fire crackling because there's a fire in the background.
Don't think too hard about it.
Just use common sense and just kinda think,
okay, well, I should hear right here.
I should hear a glass sliding on wood right? Right here.
Ice.
Just things like that. It's very simple. Don't overcomplicate it.
I'm gonna go ahead and fast forward through this and I'll catch you when I'm done.
Guys.
Great job.
I hope you did as we recommended.
And you went ahead and did some sound designed for yourself.
If not, if you are waiting for me to finish and you watch
that montage or maybe you did finish and you want to see how I did it.
I'm gonna quickly break down what sound effects I used and why I used them.
So as I told you,
the tone or the mood or Vive and going for,
for this video is very almost aggressive,
very powerful and strong to Manley whiskey type type vibe.
So I'm gonna break down it section by section first,
this section, then I'm gonna break down this section and then the last section.
So let's start with the first section and let's first just give it a listen.
Perfect, so it was very aggressive at first.
So let's start out with the most aggressive sound effects.
So I'm going to click this S solo track to only play this track right here.
So we're going to listen to the biggest sound effect first and why I put it.
Right. So that's called a Bram,
and that's often used in Hollywood films.
If you've ever watched any movies like Interstellar or Ad Astra,
they use it in a lot of space movies or superhero movies.
The Superman movie, when the spaceship came down,
they use this similar sound effect a lot.
To signify like something powerful, it's about to happen.
Which is why I wanted to use that sound effect as an intro like,
hey, give me your attention.
Sums powerful is about to go down in this video.
So now let's solo track these other ones,
and let's turn that one off.
Give it a listen. Right, cool.
So the beginning, This right here is called a riser,
and that means it starts low and goes up.
And that's often used in horror films.
Or again, a lot of superhero films use it.
It's often made to create suspense.
That's typically what risers are made for.
In this case, you can't hear it too much because
the Bram is a little bit overwhelming in the beginning,
but I still put it in there underneath,
just in case it caught anybody's attention,
maybe subconsciously, it's like, hey,
you know, please have some suspense right now.
So let's listen to that again.
Boom. And then I go straight and after that riser ends the light right there.
I instantly back it up with a wish.
So let's turn that riser off and you'll hear that.
That it's very subtle and small,
but it's just just one small Bush right after the riser.
And that's just to tie that.
Because if I didn't put that in, listen to the riser.
And now it would be empty that spin with the bottom moving or just feel empty.
So I backed it up with this.
So when it feels empty, C,
And then I back it up every time I see one of these corners spin,
I add a new whoosh sound.
Perfect.
So that's why I use those sound effects in the beginning.
So let's just clear in and out here and then I'm gonna make
a new in and out point for this section that we'll cover next.
Perfect, so now let's cover this section is sound effects.
Let's give it a listen first.
So this is a lot less strategic and more just a matter of fact,
as you saw the first section,
the reason I added some of those sound effects were more strategy purposes, right?
To get somebody's attention,
to get them into it,
to create suspense right off the bat.
This in the middle section,
I eased up on it.
And instead what I did is right here it kinda goes in.
So I put this on effect right here.
Just to emphasize that unnecessary.
Let's be honest, but I put it in just to add a little bit more life to it.
The main sound effect along these clips were Fire crackling,
which I'll let you listen to now.
And the reason I put that as because there's fire in
the background and it's as simple as that as a,
as I said, this was a lot less strategic.
There's middle part and more a matter of fact.
Alright, perfect. So as you saw,
that was just Fire crackling, very basic.
And then the other sound effects I added were what I saw.
It's so right here, what do I see?
I see glass sliding on wood,
so I doubled up.
So I'm gonna show you the first sound effect I used, which was this.
But it seemed a little high pitch to me, like,
why is it so high pitches it going on metal or wood?
That's sounded like metal.
So I brought in the second sound effect which sounds like this.
Sorry, wrong one there.
But it sounds like this.
Just making you have some more suspense.
Perfect.
Now, I put those together on top of each other and it makes much more of a wood sounded.
C.
So when those play together, Perfect.
And then the next was just simple IceCube fall,
just ice hitting glass.
There's nothing. Nothing very exciting about it.
So now let's play that middle section back altogether,
and let's give it a listen.
Perfect, so that middle section is pretty good.
So now let's clear this in.
Oops, let's clear this out.
And then let's do another section and let's finish it off with this end section.
And what I decided to do and why.
Perfect.
So let's give it a listen as we do first.
Perfect.
Perfect. So let's first break down the fire because we already did all that.
So the fire here,
it's just I the reason I continued the fire,
even though you don't see it,
is because right here I'm going to add an effect at the end,
which is going to be fire,
sparks or ashes coming up.
So it makes, it ties into video from here to,
and then when there's not fire,
it ties it instill because it's gonna tie back in right there,
which is why I added the fire.
And then I want it to continue when the logo comes up,
Jack Daniel's logo, I'm all you can hear is fire.
That's why I added the fire there. I kept it going.
And then if we break down these ones right here,
these are all done.
These are water pouring.
So the first one almost sounded like somebody was playing and I didn't want that.
So I'll show you that sounds like it sounds like somebody's paying.
So I needed to add a little bit more.
There was a sound effect of liquid falling on ice,
but it wasn't strong enough.
So this what that sounded like.
Right.
But when you add the two together on top of each other,
it sounds like pouring a bottle of whiskey.
And that's why I added that because I don't want it to sound like somebody's paying.
And then I added these three sound effects.
And that's just hitting that.
So if I break down each one of these, let's start with this one.
They all sound a little weak and not like the right sound effect by themselves, right?
Imagine I just put that.
It's so anticlimactic.
It's like do this super powerful video and then it's,
it's not very cool.
So that's why I put them,
this one underneath it.
A little bit more powerful.
And then I put this one underneath that one. Right?
Which is like dragging on wood.
So then when they're all together,
it sounds like this.
Boom, awesome.
So now let's listen back to that one more time.
And then logo.
Boom, awesome.
So now we're going to wrap this video up,
but just really quickly.
I don't want it to go on too long.
I just want you to watch the whole video now a sound design.
I want to do it once without an once width.
So let's do that right now.
So how did you feel about that?
Just take a second and think about that.
Like I'm sure you felt like there was a lot based saying you're like, wow,
now that I heard it with sound effects,
I realize how much was missing there.
So now let's listen to it again with sound effects.
I mean, just could Jillian million times better in my opinion.
So guys, that's why I use those sound effects.
That's how you do sound design.
That's the purpose behind sound design.
And now you know how powerful a sound design is.
So now we're gonna do,
is we're going to break down finding
the song which is very similar to finding sound effects.
And now we're going to edit the music to
the video because music tracks are usually two to three minutes long,
but our videos only 17 seconds long,
so we need to edit the song to get down to 17 seconds.
So let's go ahead and go to that lesson.
So good job guys.
