Hi everyone! We run DailySounds, a free sound effects library, and thought it could be a handy stock media location for Shotcut users: https://dailysounds.org

  • 1,150 sound effects: whooshes and transitions, hits and impacts, explosions, cartoon and meme sounds, animals, nature and ambience, horror, sci-fi, UI beeps and everyday foley
  • Preview in the browser and download the MP3 in one click, with no account and no download limit
  • Free for personal and commercial use, including monetized YouTube videos. Credit is appreciated but not required. License: Sound License — Free for Personal & Commercial Use | DailySounds

Hope it saves you some searching on your next edit!

Separating audio tracks by category (ambience, foley, and UI/transitions) keeps clips organized when layering sound effects. In Shotcut, adding subtle fade-ins or volume keyframes directly on imported clips helps smooth out abrupt transients and blend effects cleanly into the mix.
