Narration Options
There are several things you can do to get the best narration for your movie.
- Input level - allows you to adjust the volume of the audio that you will capture. Drag the Input Level slider button up a little towards the top, but not into the red area. That will produce a loud and distorted narration. Setting the slider too low, will make the narration difficult to hear. You may have to experiment a little to get the best results.
- Audio device - allows you to choose a specific device for the recording of the narration, if there is more than one installed on your computer.
- Audio input source - lists any audio devices that are attached to your computer, such as a microphone.
- Limit narration to available free space on Audio/Music track - If you choose to add a narration between two audio clips currently on the
Timeline, you should check this box.
- your narration will be limited to the available space between these two audio clips
- those clips will not shift if the narration is too large for the space
- the narration will stop automatically once the space is filled.
- Mute speakers - This is a good option to check if there is other music or audio that will play at the same time as the narration. This will ensure that your narration is clear and not hindered by the background music, while you are recording.
- Start Narration - Once all options are selected, click the Start Narration button to begin recording. Once your narration is complete, click on the Stop Narration button.
