Whooshes, swooshes, risers, braams and sweeps for edits, trailers and motion design.
Whooshes and risers are edit glue: they hide cuts, sell camera moves and give motion graphics weight. This set spans soft air movements for subtle scene changes up to cinematic braams and impact-risers for trailer moments.

How to choose transition & whoosh sound effects
Pick length by cut speed — 300–600ms whooshes for fast cuts, 1–4s risers to build into a drop or title card. Low-pitched sweeps read as heavy and slow, bright ones as fast and light. Layer a short whoosh under a long riser for transitions that both build and land.

Frequently asked questions
Do these work for YouTube and monetized videos?
Yes — CC0 means no Content ID claims from us, no attribution requirement, and full commercial use including monetized channels and client work.
How do I make a whoosh hit exactly on the cut?
Align the loudest point of the whoosh (usually just past its midpoint) with the cut frame, not the file start. Trim or fade the tail to taste — editing the files is fully allowed under CC0.
