Shape how your video sounds with Effects in the editor’s Audio panel. Pick a voice preset, or build your own chain of effects such as an equalizer, a compressor, reverb or echo.
Effects apply to the sound of every clip in your video. Background music stays as it is.

​
Open the Effects section

  1. Open your video in the Tella editor.
  2. Click Audio in the left toolbar.
  3. Scroll to Effects, below Studio Voice.

​
Start from a preset

Click a preset to apply it. Each one shows a small picture of how it changes the sound:
  • Clear voice
  • Warm
  • Broadcast
  • Phone
  • Room
  • Hall
A preset replaces all the effects you’ve added. The preset stays highlighted until you change one of its effects.

​
Add an effect

Click Add next to Effects and choose an effect. Each one has a short hint in the menu: You can add up to 16 effects. They run in order from top to bottom, so an echo added after a reverb sounds different from one added before it.

​
Adjust an effect

Each effect appears as a card with a live graph of what it does. Click the card’s name to expand it and show its sliders.
  • Drag a slider to change a setting. You hear the change as you drag.
  • Double-click a slider to reset it to its default.
  • Use the switch on the left of the card to turn the effect off without removing it.

​
Equalizer bands

The Equalizer shows each band as a coloured handle on its graph:
  1. Drag a handle to change that band’s frequency and gain.
  2. Double-click the graph, or click + in the band strip, to add a band. You can have up to 8.
  3. Select a band in the strip and pick its shape: Low shelf, Bell or High shelf.

​
Reorder, reset or remove effects

Click ⋯ on an effect’s card to:
  • Move up or Move down in the chain
  • Reset the effect to its default settings
  • Remove the effect
To remove every effect at once, click Clear next to Effects.
Echoes and reverb tails carry across cuts within a scene, so the sound doesn’t stop abruptly at each cut.
