How Do I Add A Pre-recorded Voice Over to an iMovie Project?

I have an audio file with the voice over I want to add to my movie project (which has an insturmental music track I want to duck during the voice over). How can I add this pre-recorded voice over track to my project?

You can drag in the voiceover file and drop it on top of the clip where you want it to start. It does not have to be perfectly placed, because you can fine tune it later by dragging.
I would suggest putting your voiceover file in iTunes and dragging in from the music browser, but it also works to drag in from the Finder. If you drag in from the Finder, you must take care not to move it later, or the iMovie Project will not be able to find it.

  • I am trying to record a voice over in my imovie project

    I was always able to record a voice over in imovie in the past, but on my most recent project which has 240 photos in it and a little video, I am no longer able to record voice over. I was able to record voice over for a little bit, but then it stopped working. I tried going on another project and was able to record a voice over. I am thinking that the problem may be that the project is too big. What do you guys think?

    Try highlighting the thumbnail of the slide you want to play, before clicking 'play'.

  • How can I add a new record in an Access table.

    How can I add a new record in access with LabView, using activex, without using the database connectivity tools.
    Message Edited by Noawena on 05-16-2008 09:25 AM

    Much easier with a toolkit but you could use ADO objects,
    get connection, make a SQL object "INSERT record INTO table where  ...." 
    Execute the parameterized query
    Free up record sets data
    close connection when done.
    This is a very simplified version

  • How does one add a personal recorded M4R file to the ring tones in the UK system for iPhone 3GS

    How does one add a personal recorded M4R file to the ring tones in the UK system for iPhone 3GS.
    I have tried all sorts of ways of adding my personal M4R file but can't find the place (within the UK versions of iTunes} to transfer this file so that I can select it as a ring tone.
    I've tried also changing to the US version of iTunes and still can't find a way of doing it, although I have heard that it can be done.

    You should be able to just drop it into the library within iTunes.

    Check out the video above for a lot good info. The ringtone must be less than 35 seconds.

  • Options for pre-recorded voice paging

    What options are there for pre-recorded voice paging on Cisco Phone Systems.
    We are running Cisco Unity Express 3.1 on a Cisco 2851 and I have a ATA186 that connects to a PA System that has an extension assigned to it.
    So what I would like to do is select between 2 or three pre-recorded messages and play it over that extension.
    I know Informacast will do it but that is a little expensive in my opinion for what I want to do.

    Take a look at SynApps SA-Announce and Broadcast Manager: http://syn-apps.com
    Both are great products, compatible with CME, and are typically cheaper than other options.

  • How do you set a pre-recorded message to play when a caller calls your iPhone before you pick up?

    How do you set a pre-recorded message to play when a caller calls your iPhone before you pick up? My office is trying to use an iPhone for our business, and we want to give a brief introductory message that the caller will hear, before we pick up the line. Are there ay apps for this? Thanks!

    There is no setting for that on the phone. Some carriers provide ringback tones, which play instead of the caller hearing a ring. But I am not aware of an app that would play a message prior to you picking up the phone. The amount of time before you pick up is not a constant, and if it lasts too long, then the call would go to voicemail.

  • Does anyone know how to monitor a microphone when using Voice Over tool?

    I use Final Cut studio in conjunction with an AJA Kona LHe card. Audio inputs are via the AJA. I monitor the output from FCP through the AJA card via a Samson C-Control (monitor matrix). Here's my problem. When I'm recording voice over, I am unable to monitor the sound from the microphone through the headphones (or speakers). There is definitely an audio feed being routed to the headphones as I am able to hear the audio cue countdown. The microphone is working fine too - when it comes to playing back the voice over through the headphones (or speakers), I can hear the track absolutely fine. Has anyone experienced the same problem... and do you know how to solve it? Many thanks, AW

    its not that you've anything screwy going on .. this is the way it is engineered to work.
    the pre-existing audio (and cues) is routed to the headphones but not the voice being recorded.
    the solution is to use an audio mixer to monitor both the voice over and the timeline

  • I use Garageband 09 to record voice overs via podcasting, female narrator noisy, but keep getting an intermittent clicking sound. It's not the metronome. I have a good quality external USB mic plugged in. Any ideas?

    I use GarageBand 09 to record voice overs via the Podcasting then Female Narrator Noisy utility. I have a good quality external mic plugged in. I keep getting an intermittent clicking sound on the audio track. It's not the metronome as that is turned off. I have to edit out the clicking after recording. I can see the spikes on the waveline. Any ideas how I can prevent this happening?

    Hi again and thanks so much for replying.
    The 'mic jack' on the old mic is both wide and large, measuring about an inch and a quarter from the base (where it comes out of the black encasing) to the edge of the tip (sort of cone shaped). As I can't plug this in directly to any port in the back of the Mac, I thought it might be possible to to buy some sort of adapter so that I could plug in the jack at one end, with a USB connector at the other end to go straight into the Mac. But I see from your comment that you are suggesting a smaller jack itself (i.e., large size jack to small size jack and then plug in to the small round port, instead of jack to USB port)?
    At the Mac shop I bought a USB adapter to connect up a second monitor (screen). I've just dug out the package and it's called a mini display port to VGA adapter. But back to the mic issue, I don't want to use the old mic really, I'm just trying to eliminate whether or not my usual mic, or its USB cable, is at fault and causing the clicking.
    I looked on Amazon for a suitable adapter but there was mention of these little gadgets having a sound card. As the Mac obviously has its own internal sound card, I couldn't see the point of another (exernal) one, unless it was actually required to convert the sound from input to output (playback) or something. One review said sound quality was lost but the person had a problem with his speakers, not a ticking sound while playing back recordings - which is obviously my problem.
    I do have a headset that I used to use for Skype. It has a pink and a green jack. I could plug one into the "headphones symbol' port and try recording again with Garageband. At least the jack is the right size. Again, this is just for the purpose of eliminating whether my good mic on a stand with the anti-popping sheild is at fault.
    While my Mac does have both inbuilt speakers (I don't need external ones) and an inbuilt microphone, the latter is not of a high enough quality for voice overs, hence buying an external mic etc. But whatever is causing the clicking or ticking is obviously affecting the quality of my recordings. As you can imagine, it is very time-consuming to edit out the ticking spikes and if the noise appears during speech, you can't edit it out at all.
    Please keep the suggestions coming. I am determined to get to the bottom of this for my sake and everyone else who is suffering from the same problem!

  • Record voice over in 10.2.

    How do I record voice over in iMovie 10.0.5? I cannot find the microphone icon!

    Do you have an iPhone? IF so, use the Voice Memo app which comes default with all iPhones and record the narration. Tip: make multiple attempts as you'll need the find the balance of speaking tone/volume compared to how close you speak to your iPhone. Also, be sure to record your narration when there is no other background noise.
    Then sync your iPhone to your iTunes; your voice memo clip should be stored in Voice Memo playlist within iTunes. Once the voice memo clip is in iTunes, go and import the voice audio narration clip into your iMovie project....presto.

    Hey PTD1,

    How to disable iPhone 5 lock screen voice over passcode?

    I'm not at all sure what you're asking.
    I guess you might mean you would like Siri to function when the iPhone is locked.  You can do that by going to
    Settings > General > Passcode Lock > Siri = "On".

  • How to add record voice over for a video file

    I have a video file (wmv) already prepared, and all I would like to now do is record a voice over for this file using Soundbooth CS4.  My hunch is that I need to import the video into a multi-track file, and then I expect I'll export the multitrack file back to the WMV when I'm done.  The problem is that when I hit the record button, I'm expecting to see the video playing but I don't.
    Is there a way to add a voice-over / narration to an exisiting video file (in this case a video file without an audio track at all)

    When you are recording, you are creating a new audio track and not playing the video, so you won't see it advance.
    Best bet is to open the video in WMP, and record your audio in SB while it plays, to get the timing right, then open the video in SB and past the recording into it.
    I'm not sure, but I believe the reason you can't play the vid and record at the same time is in case someone is recording new audio for a clip that has audio in it already, the old audio would play at the same time the recording is taking place and would screw it all up, so it either records one or plays the other, but not both at once.

  • Crackling and glitches when recording voice overs in premiere pro cc

    Hi,
    I am trying to monitor my voice overs with minimal latency in premiere pro. I know that lowering the buffer size reduces latency, but adds strain to the CPU.
    The problem that I encounter is crackling and weird glitch sounds when I drop the buffer size to 256 within the ASIO settings. I find it odd that my CPU can't keep up seeing as how the resource monitor doesn't show 'CPU Usage' higher than 10%.
    When I raise the buffer to 512, the crackling and weird sounds disappear, but there is a slight delay present in the headphones.
    There are no plug-ins or effects in use.
    Would anyone know why this is happening, or if there's anything that can be done?
    Thanks!

    Yes. The procedure I went through was the following.
    1) Add Mono Track (Audio 3)
    2) Click on Mic Icon in Audio 3, in the Audio Mixer.
    3) Click on Record Button. Watch it flash.
    4) Press the space bar to record.

  • Recording Voice over a track

    I was wondering if I could use the interanl mic to record my voice over a instrumental track located on my computer using garage band? Is this a feature on the updated garage band (ie GarageBand 2 Garage Band 3) Any info would be helpful..

    sorry if this is a highjack of the topic but I thought it was relavent......
    I have 2 files, one is pre-recorded vocals and the other is an instrumental beat. I am trying to import both files into GB and play them simultaneously. So far I was able to drag both files into GB. They end up being two line on top of one another. The problem is when I press play GB plays the instrumental fine, but at the same time it crosses the vocals is speed them up and sound like a chimpunk. If I delete the instrumental track the vocals play just as they were recorded, no chimpunk effect. How can I fix this so that I both files will play simultaneously and sound like a real track; vocal and instruments?
