When to use a applause sound in a video
- Start applause as the result appears on screen, such as a winner, a finished demo or an announcement, not before it.
- Use cheers-and-applause (about 4 seconds) for a short celebration, like a milestone number hitting the screen.
- Use applause (about 13 seconds) under a longer moment and fade it out in your editor before the next scene.
- Keep crowd sounds under a voiceover. The catalog default volume for both is 0.45, which is a starting point, not a final level.
Use it in your edit
In any editor
Press the WAV button on a card to download the file, then place it on an audio track in your editor. Line the start of the sound up with the frame where the action happens. The catalog lists a default volume of 0.45 for applause as a starting gain; change it only if the mix needs it.
