A Deep Dive into Cinematic Sound Design
Redesigning a trailer is not just about adding cool Foley audio or booming explosions; it's about telling a story through sound. Molly and Matt show us how the right footsteps sound effect can establish character presence, how car sound effects can intensify pacing, and how ambient tones can create emotional weight.
With Krotos Studio Pro, they were able to:

- Layer impacts, risers, and atmospheres for tension and energy
- Customize reverb, pitch, and timing to fit every frame
