When to use a camera shutter sound in a video
- Use camera-shutter-1-shot on the frame a photo is taken or an image freezes, so the click lands on the freeze.
- Use camera-shutter-8-shots when photos flip past in a burst, and keep the image changes in step with the clicks.
- Use camera-analog when the picture shows a film camera or a print, so the sound matches the object.
- camera-flash runs about 6.5 seconds, so trim it in your editor if you only need the moment of the flash.
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 0.4 for camera-analog as a starting gain; change it only if the mix needs it.
