Hello

I am designing a motion title on AE cs3. I designed all i wanted but how can i add sound effects to this. Should i import externally? does AE CS3 has inbuilt sound effects if so , how can i use them?

I wanted some thing like keyboard sound for each character and a bass string sound on blur. how can i get these effects.

Please help.
 
It is best to export and do sound compositing in a different program. You can add sound, but I find it difficult to use in AE.

To find sounds try findsounds.com
 
just drag the sound into AEs project window then into your comp timeline and drag it to where you want it to trigger. audio queing is easier in your NLE than AE like wes says
 
if you'll need to end up with a singular finished file that includes synched audio, its best to just render out a small proxy type preview file of your comp, and then import that into your audio engineering app like audition or soundbooth or whatever you use, or your multitrack video editor, then you can edit your sounds, score, whatever to go along with the little video in that app, and export a finished audio file(s) to go along with your video, then import that finished audio file into AE and render your final output with audio. that way your only rendering your video once instead of rerendering it out of some other program or your editor just to add the finished audio. especially if you use PPRO, you can just turn off the little preview rendered video layer, and import the PPRO project into your AE comp, and drag it right down to the start of the timeline where all you will get is the audio perfectly in synch with your AE comp because you timed it with the proxy in PPRO. ..this also saves the time of a pre render of the audio.
 
Before I thought myself Final Cut pro, I would use After Effects for all my video edits and more. You can add sound, but After Effects doesn't have any built-in / included
sound effects files. It's do'able but painful. Good luck
 
I ahve found that AE is a PITA with sound. Crashing some of the time. I ahvent really had a problem with preview stuff...but exporting is a PITA
