How can I record my voice on iMovie without needing to place a photo or video in?

I'm trying to make an anime review. But before placing photos in it, I wanted to record my voice first before adding pictures in it. So I was wondering what do I do to actually get my voice in it without it being cut because there were no photos or videos placed in? (I use a macbook)

You could insert a bunch of placeholders in the timeline before doing the voiceover.
You can find a range of placeholders (they are actually templates used in iMovie Trailers) in the Maps, Backgrounds & Animatics browser. This is the last browser at the end of the centre toolbar, after the Titles and Transitions browsers. Click on it and scroll down to see all the animatics (aka placholders or templates). Drag a number of these into your project timeline - as many as you think you need to cover your audio.
When you've finished the voiceover, drag photos directly onto the animatics and select Replace from the pop-up menu. Adjust the timing by using the Inspector (double-click a photo to open the Inspector, then change the duration).

    How can I record my voice to my Mac?

    Use GarageBand.
    In GarageBand, go to the Track menu and add a New Track to your project. When the box comes up, click "real instrument", then "create". Unless you have external audio hardware connected, the default audio input for the track should be the internal microphone of the computer.
    Or use QuickTime. Open QuickTime, go to File>New Audio Recording.

  • How can I record my voice in my MBP

    I am a new Mac user and I was wondering if I could record my voice in my MBP?
    I didn't buy any additional software but the one that comes with the Leopard.

    I don't know what "came with your Leopard" but if Garageband "came with your Leopard" you will be able to record your voice in that. You can also try Audacity which is a free recording/editing program for Audio.
    Wrong Forum by the way...

  • How can I record EAX voice effect

    Hi,
    I have a SB 5. board in my machine and in EAX Control Panel I've beeing joking a lot with some voice effects like Zeus or Chipmunk.
    But when I try to record my Microphone sound using any kind of program, those effects are not recorded, only my normal voice. For voice chats, the result is the same: I can hear my voice modified but other people don't.
    So, how should I proceed to record those effects and/or make then 'hearable' for other people thru voiced chats like MSN or SKYPE ?
    Thank you,
    Kurt

    See User's Manual page 3-3.
    If you do not have a manual you find it here from
    If your card is Bulk then you find the manual from here.
    If you do not have the Creative Surround Mixer -software then install it first
    (bundled with your card (CD)).
    The rec level is the red (left most) slider and the source selector is above the
    slider. Select there "What U hear".

  • How can I record a voice over and save as MP3?

    Good morning! I do voice overs. In my studio I STILL have a PC and use adobe audition. For my day to day business I know have a MAC BOOK PRO. I am going on vacation and need to record on my MacBook Pro with Garage Band.
    I have successfully set up my Mic(studio Projects C1) and my travel PreAmp (MAudioDuo) to record in Garage Band. All I need is dry voice. I have recorded a track but need to save is as an MP3. The test track I recorded is about 15 seconds long but yet plays for 30 seconds...I have deleted everything after the voice but it still seems like the track is longer. I have to put in MP3 format. How do I do this? This is a nice program but looks like it is too much for what I need it to do. So, any other recommendations on more appropriate software is appreciated if needed.

    move the end of project marker to the 15 second mark:

  • How can I record my voice?

    A few months ago I upgraded from my faithful PowerMac G4 to a snazzy flat white iMac G5 with Tiger. I'm finding that there are lots of things I can no longer do and one of them is recording new alert sounds, welcome messages and so on. In Sound there doesn't seem to be a 'record new' option. I have the internal mike of course and headphones with a mouth mike that i use with Skype.
    Help!
    Garland

    Your iMac came with GarageBand. It can record. I know it has problems recording from iSight microphones so I don't know how the iMac's internal microphone will work.
    To add alert sounds, save your sounds in AIFF format and then follow this tip:

  • How can i get my youtube to work without it stopping in the middle of video's?

    Whenever I am viewing a video on youtube, it will stop playing at random points and if I click the play button it won't work. This doesn't happen 24/7 but I really want to get it sorted. I have tried re-booting but that doesn't seem to work. Please help?

    Souns like a networl problem/slow network.  The iPod can't download the content as fast ad the iPod is playing it.  It is called buffering since to help avoid that the iPod tries to download it a little faster athat it is used and store it (buffer) to help allow a continious playback with minor slowdowns in the network.

  • How can i record iphone 4 screen no j/b?

    Hello. Not long ago I got interested how can i record my iphone 4 screen. I've tryed to mirror ipone to mac, but it didn't work! Then i've tryed to find an app that can do it, but the apss had bad reviews on them.
    Could somebody please tell me how can i record my iphone 4 screen without jailbreak?

    Correction. Reflector only works with iPhone 4s and up. The same goes for AirServer.
    The device needs support for mirroring which is only available for iPad 2, iPad Retina, iPad 4, iPad mini, iPod Touch 5, iPhone 4S and iPhone 5. But from what I know, you can record your screen with UX Recorder on iPhone 4 (but only in web browsers).

  • How can you create a voice recording and save it as an mp3?

    I want to create a voice recording and save it as an mp3.  How can I do that on the MAC?  Right now I can only think of recording the voice in iMovie, but it does not have a choice to save as an mp3.

    Rather that iMovie, you may want to check our Audacity.
    It's a free, open-source audio editor and recorder.
    You can easily save a recording as an MP3.

  • How can I record a guitar and my voice (only voice with mic) at the same time ?, how can I record a guitar and my voice (only voice with mic) at the same time ?

    how can I record a guitar and my voice (only voice with mic) at the same time ? I have one interface with Input 1 mic, Input 2 guitar, everything is working correct, but how can I activate multi recording or something like that... thanks

    Set your inputs on your channel strips and make sure you have one set to input 1 and the other input 2.  Arm the 2 audio tracks(the "R" in the track header. They will turn red and flash), then hit the record button.

  • How can I record an audio sound and convert it to a ringtone?

    How can I record an audio sound and convert it to a ringtone?

    Record your voice using iPhone (for ringtone only 35 secs or under are valid), sync iPhone with iTunes.
    In iTunes the recorded voice is listed under Music as some_numbers.m4a.
    Right click on the item and choose Create AAC version.
    Drag the converted voice onto the desktop.
    Delete the voice copy in iTunes. (important step)
    On desktop, rename the some_number.m4a to something_more_intelligent.m4r
    Drag it back to iTunes and you will find it under Tones.
    Now select it (for sync) and connect your iPhone, do a sync.
    If everything works out, it will be in Settings > Sounds > Ringtone.
    Now choose a contact you want to assign this ringtone, tap Edit and add the ringtone.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can i download my voice call conversation

    Hello,
    Could someone please tell me, how can i download my voice call conversations. Its very importantn for me to get this download. Please reply me asap or could someone give me the skype customer support contact number so that i can talk to them and request to send those files.
    Thanks.

    Hi, VoiceCallConv, and welcome to the Community,
    If you mean transcriptions of your calls or the recordings, Skype does not record any calls.  Only third-party add-on software such as can be found in the Skype App directory could do this.
    If you are referring to lists of calls, and the information provided in your account is not sufficient (check your My Usage, where you can export the call history), again check the Skype App directory under the Chat Management sub-heading.  The Super Users tend to recommend a freeware product offered by NirSoft.  My favorite is RecollX.
    Here is a link to the Skype App Directory: http://shop.skype.com/apps/

    Elaine

  • How can i record call when i use handfree

    How can i record call when i use handfree

    Define hands-free, are you using a headset/Bluetooth?
    To note, Recording is not a natively supported function of the iPhone. There are laws regarding this... and in America, both parties have to be notified/in-knowledge of being recorded.
    Where are you from? If outside the USA, Google Voice won't work.
    Have you looked into a VoIP provider that supports what you wish to do?
