Generate perfectly timed SFX audio tracks for your videos. Give it a video file, and it transcribes your speech with Whisper, maps contextual sound effects to key moments, and outputs a single WAV track you can drag into Descript, Premiere, or any editor.

Want the full video pipeline? Six more skills (rough cut, captions, YouTube descriptions, Instagram captions, reel overlays, content series) live in leadgenman-video-skills.

What it does

1. Extracts audio from your video
2. Transcribes with OpenAI Whisper (word-level timestamps)
3. Claude analyzes the transcript and maps ~35-50 sound effects to contextual moments
4. Builds a single WAV track aligned to your video timeline

Included SFX (12 sounds)

Sound	Use Case
digital_readout	Tech terms, stats, reveals (use 8-10x per track)
whoosh	Topic transitions, scene changes
impact	Big reveals, dramatic moments
riser	Build-up before reveals
ding	Success, key points
air_hit	Punchy intros, action verbs
keyboard	Typing, writing, code
mouse_click	Clicking, selecting, emphasis
double_click	Section starts, new topics
notification	Alerts, tool names, pings
camera_shutter	Screenshots, showing results
digital_shutter	Screen captures, code snapshots

Requirements

• Claude Code
• Python 3.10+

Install

# Clone the repo
git clone https://github.com/manthanpatelll/soundeffects-claude-code.git

# Install Python dependencies
cd soundeffects-claude-code/engine
uv sync

# Install the plugin in Claude Code
claude plugin install /path/to/soundeffects-claude-code

Or add it directly from GitHub in Claude Code:

/plugin install github:manthanpatelll/soundeffects-claude-code

Usage

In Claude Code:

/soundeffects:soundeffects /path/to/your/video.mp4

That's it. Claude handles the rest -- transcription, SFX mapping, track generation, and opens the output folder when done.

Output

A single WAV file named [Your Video] - SFX Track.wav in the same directory as your video. Drag it into your editor as an upper audio layer.
