Adding a Voiceover

Add spoken narration to your video: let the AI write and voice it, type your own lines, or upload a recording.

A voiceover is spoken narration over your video. Open it with the Voiceover tab under the panel, beside Backdrop and Music. On a phone, it's the microphone in the row under the canvas. video only

The Voiceover dialog lists your lines in the order they play. Under the list are three ways to add them.

Write it for me

The AI looks at your video scene by scene and writes a line for each one, timed to fill the video.

  1. Click Write it for me. Choose a language and a voice.
  2. Add a note if you like, such as "Mention our Saturday hours." Words you give it go into the narration as you wrote them.
  3. Click Write lines. Read the draft and change any words you want, or click Write again.
  4. Click Voice these lines. Each line is voiced and placed on its scene, and lines are fitted so the narration ends with your video.

Writing a new narration replaces the lines you have. Movidmo asks first.

Add a line

Click Add a line, type what the voice should say, and pick a voice, a language and the second it Starts at. Click Voice it. To change a line later, click its pencil: you can reword it, or give it another voice, language or start.

Upload audio

Have your own recording? Click Upload audio and choose an MP3, M4A or WAV file, up to 25 MB. It goes after your last line, and you can change where it starts.

Listening and timing

Press the play button on any line to hear it. Change a line's start with its Starts at box, and remove it with the trash can. A line that runs past the end of your video is marked in red.

Keep the music low under the voiceover is on to begin with: the music plays at a steady, lower level so the voice is easy to follow.

Click Update to apply your changes, then press play in the editor to hear the voiceover with your video. Save the project to keep it.

Voicing lines needs a free account. The voices speak 26 languages. Narration that runs from start to finish, with short pauses, sounds best. Long silences with only music in them stand out.

When you publish, the voiceover goes into your video. See Publishing your video.
