Recording a voiceover

You can record a voiceover directly into your project using a microphone or import your own MP3

We recommend recording your voiceover first and designing your project afterward. This way you can talk at a natural pace to give your project a nice flow. You can then use the duration and pause times on your visual elements and scene transitions to fit your visuals to your voiceover. 

Recording your voiceover 

Click the 'Audio' button in the left-hand panel to access your audio options. Select the 'Microphone' icon to record your voiceover. 

• To upload your own MP3 to use as your voiceover, select the ‘Upload audio’ button. 

By default, your project visuals will play back as you record. If you do not need to see your project as you record, untick the ‘Play back my project as I record’ option.

1. Click the microphone button to start recording. If prompted to give permission to access your microphone, click on 'Allow'. VideoScribe will count you down to begin recording. 
2. Once the recording has started, the record button will display a pause symbol. Use this to pause the recording. To continue recording, click the record button again. 
3. To stop recording, click the ‘Done’ button. 

You will be prompted to name your track and add a description. You can then either save the track to your files (Save only) or you can add it directly to your project as one of the following: 

• Scene audio: Audio added to the selected scene
• Project audio: Audio that plays throughout the entire project

Be sure to preview your scribe to make sure you’re happy with the voiceover. 

After adding the voiceover to your project, it will appear in the left-hand audio panel, with the waveform displayed in the advanced timeline. If you need to make any adjustments, you can easily edit your voiceover. For detailed instructions on trimming, splitting, and editing your audio, refer to our Audio Editing article.
