Music and sound effects for feature films, shorts, documentaries, trailers and animation. The lists below come from the categories that suit film work, so you can start from the moment on screen instead of a genre name.
The same short film can need four different sounds: a quiet bed under the opening titles, tension before a reveal, energy for a chase and something warm for the end credits. Choosing by scene keeps every cue doing one job. Start with the moment, play a few tracks against your edit and keep the one that supports the picture without pulling attention from the dialogue.
Music carries the emotion, while sound effects make the world on screen feel real. Whooshes and impacts sell a cut or a title, ambience fills a silent room and Foley gives movement its weight. Switch between Music and Sound Effects below to build both layers from the same place.
Every genre leans on its own sound: horror on eerie, unsettling textures, comedy on light and quirky tracks, science fiction on synths and otherworldly atmospheres, and drama on emotional piano and strings. Start from the feeling the scene needs, then try a few tracks against the picture.
Yes. Open the Sound Effects tab for whooshes, impacts, stingers and transitions that suit titles, credits and scene changes.
Both. A main theme or a consistent style gives the whole film an identity, while every scene - a flashback, a montage, a chase or the end credits - needs a cue that does its own job. Start with the overall tone, then narrow it down scene by scene.
