What to prepare to create great AI voiceovers

Before you learn how to make AI voiceovers and captions, make sure you’ve got the essential elements of video editing organized. Here’s a quick checklist:

  1. Clipchamp account: sign up or sign in to your free Clipchamp account to use the AI voiceover generator.

  2. Video voiceover script: draft a video script in Spanish or translate your English video script to input into the voiceover generator. If you need help, ask Microsoft Copilot to create an AI video script in any language.

  3. Video footage: consider your video footage requirements. For editors making a video from scratch, think about your own recording needs or stock media needs using a video storyboard. If you're localizing existing videos, ensure the footage is suitable to the culture of Spanish-speaking countries. Lastly, check that it's high quality video resolution to capture an audience.

  4. Stable internet connection: as Clipchamp is an online video editor, a consistent internet connection will ensure that the voiceover clips are generated quickly.
