Element entrance pop
Use it as an icon or card lands on screen so each new element registers cleanly.

Sound effects for explainer videos
Morphic turns a short description into original sound effects for your explainer, so every element that slides in, pops up, or gets emphasized has a matching cue. You get crisp motion-graphic sounds that support the voiceover instead of fighting it. One workspace covers the pops, the whooshes, and any narration you record.
How it works
- 1describe it
Describe the effect on Morphic
Write what you want, like a soft warble for a shape morphing or a crisp pop for an icon landing, and Morphic generates the effect from the description.
- 2
Sync it to the keyframe
Drop the file onto your timeline in After Effects, Premiere or your editor and line it up to the exact frame the element moves or lands.
- 3
Mix and export
Balance the effect against the voiceover so it supports rather than covers the words, then export the finished explainer.
Cues your explainer can run on
Four motion-graphic effects for elements entering, moving and being emphasized on screen.
Shape morph warble
Use it when a shape or graphic transforms so the change reads as smooth and deliberate.

Emphasis snap
Use it on the single key point you want to underline, kept sharp and used sparingly.

Slide transition whoosh
Use it as the scene pushes to the next section so the cut feels connected.

What it handles, and what to check
Morphic makes the sound; your judgment keeps it tight to the motion.
What Morphic handles well
- Generating snappy pops, whooshes and warbles from a text description
- Giving you variations so each element type gets its own clean cue
- Making effects tight enough to sit under a voiceover without clutter
- Keeping the explainer's SFX and any narration in one workspace
Where you still want your own ear
- Taste on which elements deserve a sound and which should stay silent
- Syncing each cue to the exact keyframe the motion hits
- Over-use, since sounding every single move turns busy fast
- Balancing the effects against the voiceover so words stay clear

FAQs
How do I add sound effects to an explainer video?
Generate the effect on Morphic from a short description, then drop it onto your timeline in After Effects, Premiere or your editor and line it up to the frame the element moves or lands.
What sound effects do explainer videos use?
Mostly motion-graphic cues: pops for elements entering, whooshes for transitions, warbles for morphs, and a sharp snap to emphasize a key point.
How do I keep effects from covering the voiceover?
Keep them short and mix them below the narration so they support the words. Sound only the moments that matter rather than every animated move.
Can I use these sound effects commercially?
Effects you generate on Morphic are yours to use commercially on paid plans, which covers client explainer work. Check the current terms for your plan.
How do I sync a sound effect to the animation?
Place the effect on your timeline and align its start to the keyframe where the element moves or lands, nudging it a frame or two until the hit feels locked to the motion.
Can Morphic make the voiceover for my explainer too?
Yes. One Morphic workspace covers sound effects, music and voiceover, so you can generate the cues and the narration for the same explainer in one place.
