Why filmmakers use SFX Engine

Fill the gaps from the shoot

The location was too loud, or nobody recorded the sound at all. Describe what should be there and generate it to fit the scene.

Build the world around the picture

Layer ambience, foley and hard effects: "night wind through pine trees, distant owl", then "branch snapping underfoot". Up to 47 seconds a sound, four takes each.

Cleared for release

Every sound is royalty-free for commercial use, from student shorts and festival entries to streaming releases.

Frequently Asked Questions

Contact us at support@sfxengine.com

Can AI generate sound effects for a movie?+

Yes. Describe the sound and the space, like "car door shutting in an underground parking garage", and SFX Engine generates it in seconds. Layer several sounds to build a full scene.

Can I use the sounds in a film I submit to festivals or sell?+

Yes. Every sound is royalty-free for commercial use, including festival screenings, streaming and theatrical releases.

How is this different from a sound library?+

A library gives you recordings someone made for other projects. Here you describe the sound your shot needs and get a new one, so it fits the picture instead of almost fitting.

How long can each sound be?+

Up to 47 seconds. For longer ambience, generate a few takes and loop or crossfade them in your edit.

What does your scene sound like?

Describe it and hear it in seconds.
