Mark the jump from morning to night in one cut
An accelerating whoosh across a speed-up shot tells the viewer time has skipped, in a vlog, a build video or an animated sequence.
Edit prompt
Timelapse
An accelerating whoosh, a clock ticking at speed, a tape reel spinning up and a shutter clicking faster and faster. Describe the time jump in your edit and Morphic generates the cue clean.
- Describe the exact speed-up your cut needs, a whoosh, a tick or a spin-up
- Yours alone, not a stock clip already in a hundred other videos

Timelapse sounds for games, animation, and video edits
Accelerating whoosh
A slow sweep that climbs into a rapid streaking rush, the sound of hours collapsing.
Sped-up clock
Hard dry ticks blurring together and climbing in pitch, a clock running at speed.
Shutter burst
Dry mechanical clicks that speed up gradually, a camera firing frame after frame.
Time warp sweep
A glassy synthetic climb with quick tick-tock beats and a soft thud on landing.

Ways to use a timelapse sound effect
Fill a speed-up shot with something besides music
A sped-up clock tick under a fast-forward montage keeps the sound busy, in a how-to, a real-estate reel or a game cutscene.
Edit prompt
Show a long process finishing in seconds
A shutter burst slowing to a stop gives a construction timelapse or a growth clip a clear start and an end.
Edit prompt
Hint that years have passed off screen
A time warp sweep landing with a soft thud implies a leap forward, in a sci-fi scene, a documentary or a game.

FAQs
What is a timelapse sound effect?
It is a cue that signals time moving fast: an accelerating whoosh, a clock ticking at speed or a reel spinning up. It sits under a sped-up shot so the picture and the sound agree.
Where can I get timelapse sounds for a video?
Describe how the speed-up should climb and what is driving it, then generate it. The six sounds on this page were each made from the prompt printed beside them.
How do I make a custom timelapse sound?
Pick the source, such as a whoosh or a ticking clock, then say how it accelerates and how it stops. A rising pitch with a hard end suits a quick cut, while a soft thud suits a landing.
What is the difference between a timelapse and a transition whoosh?
A plain whoosh only moves the viewer between shots. A timelapse cue speeds up as it goes and often adds ticks or clicks, so it says time itself is passing.
Can I use these timelapse sounds commercially?
Yes, audio generated on paid plans can be used commercially. See our terms for full licensing details. Each cue is generated for you, so it is not the same stock rush used in a thousand other edits.
Why does my timelapse sound not fit the footage?
Match the length of the climb to the length of the speed-up shot and land the stop on the last frame. If the picture is smooth, choose the whoosh, and if it flickers, choose the shutter burst.
