Distant explosion. Made with mouth sound and some effects, like reverb, compressor and distortion. You can use my sounds freely. It would be great if you credit me. Leave a comment and tell me for which project you used it. Daniel Lucas, danlucaz. 2020.

An explosion I created on audacity using the risset drum generator, feel free to use it for whatever you want
Space Explosion
When an asteroid hits a dead planetoid and there is no atmosphere to hear it through, did it really make a sound? Created by layering multiple piano notes and drums at the same time in FL Studio and passing the output through Quadrant VST. This was made in a batch of 14, many of which were cleaned up (click removal, fading, levelling, normalization) where necessary in RX and Audacity: Creation Magic Blast Dark Sci-Fi Signal Explosion From Another Dimension Fantasy Implosion Horror Surprise Ion C

FAQ about sound effects for videos
What video editing sounds show up most often in the catalog?
This page is anchored around tags like cinematic, background, hit, whoosh, impact, and transition — the tags most commonly used in editing, trailer, and motion-graphics workflows.
Is this page only for YouTube creators?
No. It also fits ad teams, social editors, production houses, trailer makers, and anyone building repeatable video pipelines that need transition and accent sounds.
How does this help compared with a generic sounds page?
A focused page lets editors land directly on relevant categories instead of sifting through unrelated audio. It also gives search and LLM systems a clearer answer when the query is about video editing audio specifically.
