Sweep Sound Effects

Sweep sound effects for movement and transitions. Whooshes cut across the screen, and dark horror sweeps pull the floor out from under a scene. Fast. Anime swipes come with heavy low end, while gentler sweeps of wind through leaves work for quieter cuts between scenes in documentaries and games.

A sweep is a sound that moves, usually through pitch, and it carries the eye from shot to shot. The simplest version is a Swoosh, air rushing past. Short ones sit right on a cut. Longer ones work like a small Riser, building into a hit or a Stinger. Horror sweeps tend to be dark and grinding, built from scrapes and drones, while UI sweeps are bright and quick. Social video uses them constantly between clips.
