Free Foley Sounds?

PostMon Apr 08, 2019 7:27 pm

In the feature list it says "Free foley sound effects library available from the Blackmagic Design support website for use in DaVinci Resolve"

I can't seem to find them, are they not there yet or am I just being daft?

Sorry, another slight delay as we have a better idea for sharing this easier but it will take a bit more time.

You could have used the crappier idea and it probably would have been available by now.

In the meantime, here is a link to some free sound effects on the web:

http://www.littlemusicclub.com/
http://www.a1freesoundeffects.com/
http://www.pacdv.com/sounds/index.html
http://freesoundfiles.tintagel.net/Audio/

I have tried to use "foley" sound effects from libraries before, and the reality is that they rarely match real on-screen action and movement unless you actually record them from scratch. This is particularly true for clothing rustles, chewing & swallowing sound effects, slapping skin, and things like that. Some stuff you just have to record live.

Free sound effects (in my experience) are also often not very good. Really good sound effects libraries cost actual money (just like good production music), though there are some that will let you buy one sound at a time, ala carte:

While these are neither foley in a strict meaning nor can they be used for commercial purposes, here is an immense archive from the BBC: http://bbcsfx.acropolis.org.uk

Hi everyone! I just bought the DaVinci Resolve Studio license and have been looking like crazy for the Foley Sounds promised. I see everyone is writing about it so... yeah. Blackmagic, here's another client waiting on you to deliver the promised sounds. :D
