Step by step
From Media Pool to Fairlight in a few clicks.
Step 01
Grab the free 100-sound pack from VideoEditingSFX. It downloads as a ZIP file organised into 8 category folders: Whooshes, Impacts, Risers, UI and more. Unzip it anywhere on your drive.
No signup neededStep 02
Open your DaVinci Resolve project and go to File > Import Media, then select the SFX folder. All sounds land in your Media Pool and stay available across the Edit, Cut, and Fairlight pages.
You can also drag the folder straight into the Media PoolStep 03
On the Edit page, drag a sound from the Media Pool onto a dedicated audio track. Position it at the exact frame you want it to land — a cut, a title card, an impact moment. Right-click the track header and rename it "SFX" to keep things organised.
Keep SFX on a separate track from dialogue and musicStep 04
Switch to the Fairlight page for precise level control. Use the channel fader to pull your SFX track down to around -12 to -18 dB so it sits cleanly under dialogue and music without taking over the mix.
Use Fairlight's Bus to group and control all SFX at once

Fairlight tips
Tip 01
In the Fairlight page, route all your SFX tracks to a single bus. This lets you control the volume of every sound effect with one fader, making it fast to bring the entire SFX layer up or down without touching individual clips.
Tip 02
DaVinci is built around colour grading, so use that to your advantage. When you make a bold colour cut or a grade change, add an impact SFX underneath it. The combination of a visual and audio hit makes the moment register much harder on the viewer.
Tip 03
DaVinci Resolve supports Audio Track Layers, which let you stack multiple audio clips on the same track without creating clutter. Use this to try different SFX variations on the same hit point and toggle between them without moving anything.
