When to use a keyboard typing sound in a video
- Put typing under a screen recording of someone writing in a document, a code editor or a search bar. Start the WAV when the first character appears.
- Use keyboard-typing-realistic (about 3.4 seconds) for a short line, such as a search query or one message.
- Use keyboard-typing (about 10 seconds) for a longer stretch of typing, and trim it to the length of the typing on screen.
- Stop the sound on the frame the typing stops. The catalog default volume is 0.35, which keeps it under a voiceover.
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 0.35 for keyboard-typing as a starting gain; change it only if the mix needs it.
