How to use the online voice recorder

Step 1. Import your video or select stock media

To import your own videos or photos, click on the import media button in the your media tab on the toolbar to browse your computer files, or connect your OneDrive.

You can also use free stock media like video and backgrounds. Click on the content library tab on the toolbar and click on the visuals drop down arrow, then videos. Browse through the different stock categories by theme or using the search bar.

Drag and drop your video onto the timeline.

Step 2. Locate the voice recorder and allow microphone access

Click on the record & create tab on the toolbar, then click on the audio option.

If you've never used the free audio recorder before, a popup window will appear with microphone access options. Click on the allow button on the popup dialog and this will allow Clipchamp to use the microphone on your device. Don’t forget to do a mic test once you've given access to check how your microphone sounds.

Step 3. Record your voiceover using the voice recorder

To start using the mic recorder online, click on the red button. You can also select your microphone source, do a mic test, or turn speaker coach on or off to assist your voice recording.

Record up to 30 minutes of audio. A timer will display at the bottom of your screen to show how long your voice recording is. Click on the stop button when you’re finished.

You can redo your voiceover by clicking on the retake recording button. You will then be asked to confirm by clicking on the red retake recording button again.

Next, preview your voiceover using the play button. If you’re happy with your recording, click on the save and edit button to save and return to the editor.

Once you have clicked the save and exit button, your voice recording will now appear on the timeline below your video clips. Your voiceover will also automatically download as an MP3 or webm file to your device in the downloads folder.

Your voice recording will automatically appear on the timeline as a new media asset. It will also save to the your media tab where you can drag and drop it onto the timeline to reuse or reposition your voice recording.

Step 4. Preview and save your video

Before saving your voiceover video, make sure to preview by clicking on the play button. When you’re ready to save, click on the export button and select a video resolution. For more help, take a look at this online voice recorder help article.
