Add Sfx

Prerequisites

Sound effects must first be added to the remotion.media package.
Then it can be deployed using bun run build. The .env may be missing if we are in a worktree, but on the main non-worktree branch it should be present.

The source of truth is generate.ts in that repo. A sound effect must exist there before it can be added to @remotion/sfx.

Sound effects must be:

• WAV format
• CC0 (Creative Commons 0) licensed
• Normalized to peak at -3dB

Steps

1. Add to remotion.media repo (must be done first)

In the remotion-dev/remotion.media repo:

1. Add the WAV file to the root of the repo
2. Add an entry to the soundEffects array in generate.ts:

   {
     fileName: "my-sound.wav",
     attribution:
       "Description by Author -- https://source-url -- License: Creative Commons 0",
   },
   

3. Run bun generate.ts to copy it to files/ and regenerate variants.json
4. Deploy

2. Add the export to packages/sfx/src/index.ts

Use camelCase for the variable name. Avoid JavaScript reserved words (e.g. use uiSwitch not switch).

export const mySound = 'https://remotion.media/my-sound.wav';

3. Create a doc page at packages/docs/docs/sfx/<name>.mdx
