You can spice up your iMovie project by adding sound effects. You can also move sound effects from iMovie right into your Final Cut Pro sequence. To attach a sound effect to your movie, go to Window > Music & Sound Effects or you can click on the Music Note button in the iMovie toolbar.

Scroll through the sound effects and select the soundfile you want to use. Drag the audio file over the video frame where you want it to begin playing. A green sound effect icon will appear below the video where you will hear the sound effect.

You can add several sound effects at once, change the volume of the sound effect, and change the length of the effect. You can also add audio recordings from your own Garage Band files.

You can also import iMovie sound effects directly into Final Cut Pro.
