What to look for

Sources name the same sound whoosh, swoosh, woosh or swish, so search all four. Most clips on this page are well under a second, which fits a swipe, a button slide or a quick cut. For a longer transition, open the finder and sort by length, or search for "transition". Use More like this on a clip you like to find others with a similar profile. Titles and tags come from the sources and can be wrong, so listen before you commit.

How to use it

Place the clip so its first loud moment lands on the cut or the movement. If a clip is too short for the move, layer two clips of different lengths. Export a trimmed clip from the finder to get a file with the credit line already in its tags.
