Does After Effects have a feature similar to Premiere Pro’s Essential Sound panel, where you can browse and directly import free sound effects

Question

In Adobe Premiere Pro, you can easily add free sound effects through the Essential Sound panel, including built-in integration with Adobe Stock.

Some colleagues prefer to complete animation projects entirely within After Effects. However, I haven’t been able to find a comparable panel or workflow in After Effects. As far as I can tell, sound effects need to be searched for and imported manually.

I’m wondering if I might be overlooking a feature, plugin, or recommended workflow that offers similar functionality in After Effects.

Not built in no.There are add-ons you can get from The Adobe Marketplace named Free Stock Search that lets you search both free sources like Unsplash and paid ones like adobe stock. The problem is I don’t know if it can search audio since it’s mostly a video, images, & vectors tools.You can download from Adobe marketplace via the Creative Cloud Ap’s Stock & Marketplace Tab.

I’m sorry but that is not currently a feature in After Effects.
