List sounds in order if timing matters: “a door creaks, then footsteps”.
Say how close things are: “far-off traffic”, “footsteps right by the mic”.

Questions people ask

How is this different from Video to Audio?

Sound Effects starts from text. Video to Audio watches your clip and makes sound that follows the action on screen.

Can it make voices?

Yes. Put what someone says in quotes and describe how they say it. For a clear voiceover reading a full script, Text to Speech is the better tool.

Can it make music?

It can add music to a scene. For full songs and instrumentals, use the Music Generator.

How much does Sound Effects cost?

Sound Effects starts at 54 credits per track. The generator shows the exact price before you run it, and a run that fails is refunded automatically. New accounts get 30 free credits to start.
