Blender Freesound add-on 1.0, Release of 22 August 2016
This add-on allows you to browse, listen and insert sounds from the freesound.org archive in your Blender VSE. An API key is required: you can request it from http://freesound.org/apiv2/apply (Freesound login is required)
Installation
To install the add-on, clone the GIT repository or download the zip and manually install from the user preferences dialog.
Usage
Before to start using the add-on you need to get an API key from freesound as decribed above. After this you insert the API and click on Validate button. If everything go fine you will see the button saying Validated as in the picture.
Now you can save preferences so that the value is not lost.
Using the add-on is straightforward and intuitive. All you have to do is search for some sounds and click on the Search button. You got further options for searching, HQ (High Quality Preview) allows you to download the best available preview at cost of download speed and disk space. The "from" "to" range allows you to search sounds with a specific length. You can for example search a sound which is at least 2 seconds and max 5 seconds if you set 2 and 5 in the fields. The next box allows you to sort sounds based on rating. Last box allows you to filter by license.
The page navigation buttons allow you respectively to jump to the first and last page, increment by 10 or 1 or add an arbitrary number in the page field.
