Generate sound effects from a text prompt
Type what you want to hear, like a deep cinematic boom or a soft paper rustle, and OpusClip generates three versions for you to compare.
Pick the one that fits and it lands on your video's timeline as its own block, where you can change its volume, trim its length or rewrite the prompt and try again.
No sound library to scroll through and no separate audio app to export from.
Why creators generate their sound effects
The exact sound you pictured
Libraries make you settle for the closest file. A prompt lets you describe the sound you actually want, down to its length and mood.
Three versions every time
Each prompt returns three takes, so you compare and choose instead of re-rolling one result until it works.
Already on your timeline
Generated sounds drop straight into your video as editable blocks. There is nothing to download, import or line up by hand.
Describe it the way you hear it
Good prompts are short and concrete: what the sound is, how it should feel and how long it lasts.
"Deep cinematic boom." "Quick cartoon pop." "Soft whoosh, left to right." Set the duration before you generate and OpusClip makes three versions at that length.
If none of them land, change a word in the prompt and generate again. Each block keeps its own prompt, so you can come back to it later.

Or let OpusClip find the moments
Not sure where sound should go? Auto SFX watches your video, detects key moments like transitions, impacts and on-screen actions, and places sound effects on them automatically.
It takes under two minutes for a 60-second clip, and every effect it adds is a block you can keep, regenerate or delete.

Your original audio stays untouched
Sound effects sit on their own track. Your voice, music and footage never change, so removing an effect takes one click and leaves the source exactly as it was.
