The 5 best voice over softwares available online (In 2022)

A kick-ass video will have perfectly edited frames, color grading, background music, and, most importantly, a well-tailored voice over.

Voice overs are essential to convey essential ideas and express the scenario with emotions to the audience. As a result, many businesses rely on video formats with a perfectly suited voice over to deliver critical messages about their services/products to the customers.

Generally, voice overs are being used in a variety of formats, including podcasts, audio/video commercials, corporate training films, webinars, online coursework, video games, to name a few. Such content would be uninteresting to the audience if it did not include voice overs. For example, in a video course with no voices, or a video game with no narrative, no one would be interested in spending time with such content.

Nevertheless, creating good voice overs is strenuous. Though you could technically make one on your own, you’d still have to shell out hundreds or even thousands of dollars on recording equipment, besides the person-hours to be invested in that task.

Even though you are someone with the capacity to make a large investment, chances are you would not be satisfied with the quality of the voice overs you created on your own. Hence, understandably, you would turn to a freelancer or professional voice actor. However, depending on their service experience and the amount of work required, the cost of hiring voice actors is also not the ideal long-term answer.

So are you wondering what you could possibly do about such a situation? Don’t worry, let me introduce you to voice over softwares. It’s 2022, and we have voice over softwares that runs based on artificial intelligence to produce realistic voices just from text.

Yes! You read that right. You can now convert your video scripts, documents, essays, or any text for that matter into a natural voice of your liking with the help of these voice over softwares. And the best part here is that most of these solutions are super affordable and easy to use. A few of them have lifetime free plans, and a few have trials that you can access without sharing your credit card information.

In addition, you don’t have to be concerned about piracy or copyright infringement with these tools.

So, choosing an online voice over software definitely has its advantages. But how do you choose the right one for your use case?

Well, let us simplify it by picking the best 5 and dissecting the Pros and Cons of each of these tools.

Let’s get started,

How to create an effective Job Aid using Videos

How to create effective job aids using videos? (Free template)

The average employee is only productive for 2 hours and 33 minutes per day

Productivity is the pillar of an effective workforce. In the age of information overload, a key factor in increasing productivity is to have the right information at the right time.

jobaide

Job aids provide a simple and effective way to boost the productivity of employees by providing essential information in an easily accessible format.

What is a Job Aid?

Job aids are concise instructions or hints that help employees perform a particular task by providing the right information at the right time. They help employees increase productivity by preventing mistakes. Job aids come in many forms like One-pagers, Videos, Infographics, Manuals, To-do lists, Checklists, etc.

Job aids are so useful that your employees may already be using them in one form or another. Have you ever seen a computer like this in your office?

Congratulations, your employees have already realized the power of Job aids!👍

Employees utilize the resources that they have at their disposal to create job aids that can help them complete their tasks efficiently. But what if you could provide a job aid that is 1000x better than the sticky notes?

Video Job Aid

Job Aids come in many shapes and forms. Some of the most commonly used job aids are in the form of a printed document that is not more than a page in length. They can be used as a quick memory refresher that gives you the essential information just when you are about to perform a task. Have you seen this image on fire extinguishers?

In case of a fire, this piece of paper gives you the exact information you need to use the extinguisher and save yourself. This is a great example of a job aid outside the work environment. It is effective because it gives you all the information you need to get the job done at the correct time.

In the digital era, not all job aids have to be on a printed sheet. For example, if you take on the task of cooking pasta at your next company outing, would you prefer to have a long 10 page printed document on how to do it or would you prefer to play this video and cook along?

According to Forrester Research, employees are 75% more likely to watch a video than reading text. Videos are the ultimate job aides as they utilize both the audio and visual senses to communicate information effectively. This creates a bigger memory imprint in the mind of the viewer thereby making the process of information retention much more efficient.

For example, here is a video job aid created by Salientsys company to showcase a simple process to their employees.

This video gives a complete walkthrough of the process in under 10 minutes. Whereas, a text document with the same process would be so long and tedious for the employees to read and understand.

Now, Let’s dive in and find out how to create engaging job aides using videos.

How to create an effective job aid (step-by-step)

Video job aids are very useful and effective, yet we don’t see a lot of companies creating these yet. There are two main reasons:

Cost
Time

Traditionally, creating video job aids was both expensive and time-consuming. With the advent of powerful video creation tools like Animaker, video job aids have become easy and affordable to make.

Let’s see the step-by-step process of how to create video job aids easily.

Step 1: Collect outline data on the task

Step 2: Choose the format

Step 3: Create the script and the storyboard

Step 4: Create a video job aid using Animaker

Now, let’s get into each of the steps.

Step 1: Collect outline data on the task

The role of a job aid in the workplace is to help employees perform a specific task, so the best place to start a job aid is from the employees themself. Collect data regarding the particular task from the employees who perform the task regularly.

Note down all the important points. Understand the concept before moving on to the next step.

Step 2: Choose the format

Now, it’s time for you to choose the right video type to represent your job-aid.

As we discussed earlier, video job aids come in different types. Each different video type has its own benefits. Depending on the type of content that you are putting into your job aid, you can choose the type that works best for you. Here are some of some examples:

How to videos – Great for explaining DIY tasks
Listicle videos – Great for explaining step by step processes and lists
Explainer videos – Works best for explaining complicated concepts
Screen capture walkthrough videos – Great for showing product walkthroughs/demos
Talking head videos – Great for explaining concepts that require face-to-face interaction eg, soft skill training.

Step 3: Create the script and storyboard

The most important aspect of any effective video job aid is the script. Scripts are like a roadmap that can guide you to create the perfect video job aid. To make your video creation process even easier, you can convert the script into a simple storyboard.

You don’t have to be an artist to create a storyboard, just a rough sketch with some stickman figures will also do the trick.

Step 4: Create a video job aid

Let’s look into how to create an effective video job aid. Creating a video job aid can be done very easily using a powerful video creation tool like Animaker.

For the purpose of this article, let’s create a video job aid that showcases 6 steps of the customer onboarding process. This job aid will have two goals:

Educate the team on the steps to be followed for smooth customer onboarding
Serve as a memory refresher that they can refer every time they want to onboard a new customer

Once you have your own Animaker account,

Step 1: Log in

Step 2: It’ll lead you to the Dashboard

If you’re unsure about starting a project from scratch, don’t worry, we’ve got your back. Let our Animaker pre-built templates do the job for you.

Step 3: As mentioned above, we are creating a job aid for the customer onboarding process. To emphasize the step-by-step process of onboarding, a listicle video will be the ideal choice.

Scroll down to the listicle video templates section in the Animaker dashboard and pick a template. You can pick any of the listicle templates and customize them to your needs.

Now, let’s see how to edit the template according to our context.

Before jumping into creating a job-aid, let us get you accustomed to the different sections of the Animaker application so that it’ll be easy for you to understand the interface and create one of your own.

There are 5 sections in Animaker:

Library
Workspace
Scenes
Menu bar
Timeline

Library – The Library of the Animaker app is where you will find all the assets needed for your video, including characters, props, icons, stock assets, music files, and more.

Workspace – The whitespace at the center is called the workspace. This is where your job aid will come to life.

Scenes – The scenes section houses all the different scenes that are part of a video. They are similar to the slides section in presentation tools.

Menu bar – You can change the title of the video, play the video from the beginning, share and publish the video.

Timeline – At the bottom of the screen is the timeline. There are three different timelines:

Animation timeline: Lets you adjust the entry and exit timings of any kind of elements like characters, props, text, logos, images, etc., that are present in the video.
Video timeline: Lets you trim and adjust the music and video files used to edit the video and the music track.
Camera timeline: Lets you add and adjust the timings of the camera effects.

Let’s get started!🤩

Step 4: Firstly, let’s see how to edit the texts in the template.

To change the text just double click and enter the new text. When you click on any text, you’ll notice a bunch of options appearing along with the text.

This is called the item menu. The item menu allows you to modify the text. You can change the font style, font size, font color, etc.

(Usually, in pre-built templates, the effects will be already designed – all you have to do is either use them or edit them to your convenience)

Step 5: Let’s look at how to change the background and adjust it according to your use.

First, select the scene where you want to change the background. Then simply click on the video icon from the library section and search for your relevant video.

Click on the video and it will be uploaded to the workspace.

Step 6: Next, let’s see how to upload a logo into your video.

Click on the Upload section that is available on the bottom left of the library. Now upload the video/image which you want to insert.

jobaid

Once the file is uploaded, click on the uploaded file in the library to load it into the workspace.

Step 7: Add music tracks to your text animation.

Go to the music section of the library, here you can find 30000+ music tracks. To have a preview of a music track, just hover over it. Then, click on the music track of your choice to apply it to the video.

You can see the music track in the video and audio timeline, and if you further click on the music track, you will get a bunch of different options.

Here, you can preview the music track, control the volume of the music track, duplicate it, and delete it.

That’s it, your first video job aid is ready in seven easy steps.

Yes, you are most welcome to put your imagination into a real video and customize it further!

How to post YouTube videos on Instagram [Easiest way – 2021]

Are you thinking of repurposing a YouTube video on Instagram? Well, YouTube videos can be repurposed directly to WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Pinterest, LinkedIn, and a few other major social media networks. However, YouTube doesn’t provide an option of repurposing the videos to Instagram directly.

In this article, you will learn how to repurpose YouTube videos on Instagram in three simple steps

Step 1: Downloading the YouTube video
Step 2: Customizing the video for Instagram
Step 3: Uploading the video to your Instagram account

STEP 1: Downloading the YouTube video

There are several ways to download YouTube videos. The simplest way is to use a third-party website like savefrom.net or ytmp3

Copy and paste the YouTube video link in either of the above websites and download

STEP 2: Customizing the video for Instagram

Instagram allows us to share videos as Reels, Story, IGTV, and Post. Each one of these content types has requirements that have to be met before you can successfully upload it to your Instagram account.

The requirements are as below

For IGTV:

Video duration has to be at least 1 minute long
The maximum length can be 15 mins (when uploading from a mobile device) or 60 mins (when uploading from the web)
You can upload in 9:16 aspect ratio (1080 pixels x 1920 pixels) (Vertical video) or You can upload in 16:9 aspect ratio (1920 x 1080 pixels) (Horizontal video). We recommend uploading in the vertical format as most of the content on Instagram will be consumed from a mobile phone
And in terms of output quality, the video has to be at least 720p

For Reels:

Video duration can be from 15 – 60 seconds
The aspect ratio should be 9:16 (1080 pixels x 1920 pixels)

For Story:

Video duration can be up to 15 seconds
The aspect ratio should be 9:16 (1080 pixels x 1920 pixels)

For Posts:

Video duration can be up to 60 seconds
Aspect ratio should be 1:1 (1080 pixels x 1080 pixels) or 4:5 (1080 pixels x 1350 pixels)

As you can see, a 9:16 vertical video is the best-suited video type to be posted for Reels, Story, IGTV and a 1:1 square video is the best-suited video type for Instagram posts.

So now, we’ll show how to customize your horizontal YouTube video for both aspect ratios.

Customizing the video for Instagram Reels, Story, and IGTV
Customizing the video for Instagram Posts

Customizing the video for Instagram Reels, Story, and IGTV

This is the sample YouTube video that we are going to repurpose on Instagram and I have downloaded the video to my PC using

In this instance, we aim to generate traffic back to the YouTube channel using an Instagram Story.

Let’s see how we can customize the video for Instagram Story

1. Head over to the Instagram Video Maker from Animaker and sign up for a free account.

2. After logging in, you will be redirected to the application’s Dashboard. Under the section Create Project, you can see the different types of projects that can be created using Animaker.

3. To create an Instagram Story, IGTV, or Reels, click on the Vertical video. You will be prompted to choose between a blank canvas and templates to create your video. Since we are planning to customize our YouTube video into an Instagram Story video, click on the Blank option.

4. On choosing the Blank option, a new blank project will open in the application. This is the interface of the Animaker app where you can edit and repurpose your videos.

5. Towards the left-hand side, is the Library section. You will find the Upload option at the bottom of it. Once you click on it, you can select and upload the YouTube video you want from your PC.Note: YouTube videos are of horizontal video format with 16:9 ratio.

6. After uploading, clicking on the video will automatically convert it into a vertical video and fit inside the workspace. Once you click on the video in the workspace, you will notice a set of options. This is called the Item menu and it gives us the options to edit the video.

7. While the video changes from horizontal to vertical video format, certain parts of the video may get cropped because of the change in the aspect ratio. But do not worry. You can always use the Resize feature from the Item Menu and adjust the specific part of the video that has to be visible. Click on the Resize option and you will be able to control the part of the video that will appear within the workspace. But if you want to totally avoid the video getting cropped, use the Resize option to reduce the size of the video and keep it at the center of the workspace and then click apply. Now you can use the space above and below the video to add a Title text or a call to action text. But before adding text, let’s change the background color to make the video look better. To change the color of the background, click anywhere on the white region of the workspace and you can see a new color palette option appearing at the bottom. Click on the edit option over it, and choose the new color that you want to add to the background. Click the green tick icon to apply. In our case, we are choosing the Black color for the background.

8. To add text, click the Text section on the library. From this section, you can choose a blank text box or pick from a list of pre-built text designs that come with pre-applied animation effects.

Let’s see how to use one of the text boxes to add text to the video. Just click on one of the plain text boxes you like, and it will appear in the center of the workspace. To edit the text, click over it again and type in the new text. Since we want to drive traffic to our YouTube video from our Instagram story, let’s use “SWIPE UP” as the call to action text to this video. Once you have typed “Swipe Up” in the text box, click on the settings option that appears on the right side. Using the options available in the settings menu, you can change the font style, color, spacing, and even the transparency of the text. Let’s change the font style and font color for better visibility and keep it at the bottom of the workspace. You will also notice a purple bar in the timeline. You can just drag and adjust its length to control the duration for which the text will appear on this story video. For example, If I want the text to appear after the first two seconds, I have to drag the left edge of the purple bar and move it to the 2s mark on the timeline. Likewise, you can control the entry time and exit time of any text using the edges that are available at both ends of the purple bar.

The next step after this is to add entry and exit effects for the “Swipe Up” text we just added to our project. To do this, head over to the bottom section of the settings menu. The two options ‘Enter effect’ and ‘Exit effect’ let you add enter and exit animation effects to your text. Click on the enter effect option and you can find more than 50+ different text animation effects that can be applied to this text. Here we are selecting “Pop left” as the Enter effect for the text.

After applying the enter effect, you will notice a new pink-colored part within the purple bar in the timeline. This will let you control the duration of the text’s Enter effect. In the same way, we can apply an Exit animation effect for the text. But for this text, we don’t want any exit animation effect so we are not choosing any effect.

Now let’s add an icon to compliment the “Swipe Up” CTA text. We can use the properties option from the library section to add an arrow icon. Also, let’s apply a suitable Enter effect like “Pop Top”, to the arrow, to make it more engaging for the audience.

Similar to how we adjusted the time of entry for the swipe-up text, you can use the purple bar in the timeline to adjust the duration at which the arrow will appear in the video. And similar to the Swipe up text, use the right edge of the pink bar to adjust the Enter effect duration of the arrow.

Now let’s also add a Title for this Instagram story. Let’s type the YouTube video’s title “ 5 Most Scenic Sunsets on the West Coast “ and place the text box at the top of the video. Use the settings menu that appears on the right side to modify the text color, font style, etc. Adjust the purple bar in the timeline to set the duration at which the text will be seen on the video.

9. Use the Trim feature in the Item Menu to customize the overall duration of the video. Once you click on the trim feature, you can see a pop-up of the video with options to trim it. Drag the purple edges in the timeline to trim the video. Since we are creating an Instagram Story video, set the duration to less than 15 seconds (the max duration for Instagram Story is 15 seconds). Then click on the Green tick icon to apply the changes.

10. Now let’s preview what we have made. Using the Preview button in the menu bar, we can see how the scene looks.

11. Once everything is done, click on the Publish button in the top right corner. From the options shown, select the Download Video option to download the video.

12. Clicking on Download Video, the project will be redirected to the export page. Click on the Download button to save the video directly to your PC.

Now that you know everything you need to customize the video to suit an Instagram story, let’s look at how to customize a video to fit an Instagram post.

Customizing the video for Instagram Posts

In this instance, we are going to repurpose a YouTube video on Instagram. We aim to generate traffic back to the YouTube channel using an Instagram Post. Let’s see how to customize the YouTube video (of 16:9 aspect ratio) into an Instagram square video of 1:1 ratio,

1. Head over to the Instagram Video Maker from Animaker and sign up for a free account

2. In the Animaker application’s Dashboard, under the section Create Project, select the Square video format.

3. You will be prompted to choose between a blank canvas and templates to create your video. Since we are planning to customize our YouTube video into an Instagram video, click on the Blank option.

4. On choosing the Blank option, a new project window will appear. This is the interface of the Animaker app where you can edit your videos.

6. After uploading, clicking on the video will automatically convert it into a square video and fit inside the workspace. Also, an Item Menu will now be visible in the workspace which lets us edit the uploaded video.

7. While the video changes from horizontal to Square video format, certain parts of the video may get cropped because of the change in the aspect ratio. But do not worry. You can always use the Resize feature from the Item Menu and adjust the specific part of the video that has to be visible.
But if you want to avoid the video getting cropped at all, use the Resize option to reduce the size of the video and keep it at the center of the workspace and then click apply.

In our case, we have Resized the video to the center of the workspace and then clicked Apply.

8. Click in the empty white region of the workspace and an option for editing the background color will be available at the bottom of the screen. Select the suitable color and click the green tick button to confirm. In our case, let’s stick with the default white background color.

9. You can also add text over the video by using the Text section from the library. Once you click on the text section you will have two more options to add text. On the bottom, you can find the pre-built text designs that come with pre-applied animation effects. And plain text at the top that can be customized according to our needs. By clicking on the plain text, a new text box will be added to the workspace. Click on it further and you would be able to type the text that you want to add. We can also drag and move it anywhere within the workspace.

The settings tab appears on the right side. Using these options you can change the font style, color, spacing, and even the transparency of the text.

And at the bottom of the settings, the two options ‘Enter effect’ and ‘Exit effect’ let you add enter and exit animation effects to the text. You will also notice a purple bar in the timeline. You can just drag and adjust its length to control the duration of the text.

In this instance, for our Instagram Square video post, let’s type the title “ Make your breakfast in under a minute ” at the top of the video and add the YouTube channel name ” @YT_YourHomeChef” as the watermark and place it in the bottom space of the video.

10. Use the Trim feature in the Item Menu to customize the duration of the video. According to the Instagram duration requirements (Instagram Square Video Posts can be 60 secs long), drag the edges to trim the duration and click on the Green tick button.
Using the Preview button in the top menu, we can view the changes made to the scene.

11. Once everything is done, click on the Publish button in the top right corner. From the options shown, select the Download Video option to download the video.

STEP 3: Uploading the video to your Instagram account

How to Add a Voiceover on Google Slides: A Quick Guide

Adding a voiceover to Google Slides presentations is straightforward if you’ve already created a voiceover, and you’re looking to add the audio file to a slide in your presentation.

If you haven’t created a voiceover, and you’re looking to use Google Slides to record a voiceover, well, Google Slides doesn’t have built-in functionality to record voiceovers.

You can only insert audio files into your presentations on Google Slides. You’ll have to create the voiceover separately and then add it to your presentation on Google Slides.

We’ll first show you how to record or generate a voiceover using free tools online and then give you step-by-step instructions on how to add a voiceover in Google Slides.

Here’s what we’ll cover in this article, feel free to jump to a section that’s relevant to you:

How to Create Voiceovers for Your Google Slides Presentations for Free

You can either record your own voiceover using a voice recording tool or generate a voiceover using text-to-speech software.

Let’s see how you can record a voiceover. We’ll be using Rev’s free online voice recording tool to record your voiceover.

You can also use offline voice recording software such as Apple’s GarageBand or Audacity.

Record a Voiceover for Your Google Slides Presentations in 3 Simple Steps using a Free Voice Recorder App

Open the tool and click on the Record button to start recording your voiceover.
You can now pause the recording by clicking on the Pause button.
You can then resume recording by clicking on the Resume button or preview what you’ve recorded by clicking on the Preview button.

Clicking on the preview button will take you to a window where you can preview, transcribe, or download the recording. Click on the download icon right next to the transcribe button to download the recording.

If you’d rather generate a voiceover using text-to-speech software, you can use Animaker’s free text-to-speech tool.

Animaker uses the NTTS (Neural Text To Speech) model to generate ultra-realistic, crystal-clear audio narrations!

Generate a Human-like Natural-sounding Voice with Text in 3 Simple Steps using Animaker

Step 1: First, sign up or sign in to Animaker. Then from the Create project section in your dashboard, click on the yellow, Voiceover/TTS button.

Step 2: Now start entering the text in the window that appears next.

You can then pick a Gender, Language, or Voice for your voiceover.

Click on the round button in the top left corner of the window to adjust your voiceover’s Speed, Pitch, and Volume.

If you made changes to the speed, pitch, or volume, you can undo these changes by clicking on the Reset button.

Also, you can add a breath or break effect between each word and adjust how long it should last. Simply click on the dot between any two words to add a Breath or Break between them.

You can also let AI take care of making your voiceover sound good by using the auto-enhance functionality. This feature automatically adds the breath effect, speed, pitch, volume, etc., based on the text you’ve entered. Tick the Auto enhance checkbox to auto-enhance your voiceovers.

Step 3: Click the Preview button to play and preview the voiceover.

And then click on the Download button in the top right corner of the window to instantly download your voiceover to your local computer in MP3 format.

One thing to keep in mind is that in order for you to be able to add an audio file to your Google Slides presentations, it must be in MP3 or WAV audio format.

How to Add a Voiceover to Google Slides Presentations

Now that you have the voiceover file with you, you can go ahead and add it to your Google Slides presentations. Here are the steps to add a voiceover on Google Slides:

Step 1: Upload the Audio File to Google Drive

To upload an audio file, you can open google drive on your browser and simply drag and drop the audio file onto the browser window.

You can also upload the audio file by clicking on the New button in the top right corner of the window and selecting the File upload option from the dropdown menu.

Step 2: Customize the Audio File’s Accessibility Settings

You can now change the accessibility settings of your audio file depending on who you want to hear it.

Click on the audio file to select it and then click on the Get link button in the top right corner of the window.

Then in the popup window that appears next, click on the Restricted dropdown button and select Anyone with the link to set the access level to “Viewer”. Once you’re done, click the Done button in the bottom right corner of the popup window.

Step 3: Embed or Insert the Audio File

Open Google Slides on your browser, open the presentation, and navigate to the slide to which you want to add this voiceover. Then click on the Insert menu from the menu bar and select the Audio option from the dropdown menu.

In the Insert audio window that opens next, click on the relevant audio file and hit the Select button in the bottom left corner of the window to embed that audio file into the slide.

Here’s how to add a voiceover to a video using Animaker:

Add Voiceovers to Videos in 3 Simple Steps using Animaker

Step 1: Sign up / Log in and Pick the Dimensions

Sign in to your account or create a free account. Then choose the dimensions for your output video depending on which social media platform you’d be posting it on.

You could want your video to be Horizontal, Square, or Vertical in size. Pick one of the premade dimensions from the Create Project section in your dashboard.

You can also pick your own custom height and width for your video. Simply click on the Custom Size Video button from the same section above. Then enter your desired width and height and hit Create Video.

Step 2: Upload Your Video and Add a Voiceover to It

Now upload your video(s). You can upload videos up to 20 GB in size. Navigate to the Upload tab in the menu bar and click on the Upload button at the bottom of the tab window.

Once the video has been uploaded, click on the video to set it onto the canvas.

There are two ways you can create and add a voiceover in Animaker. You can either record your own voice or generate natural-sounding audio narrations using text.

We’ll show you how to create a voiceover using both the former and latter methods.

To record your own voiceover, first, click on the video you just set onto the canvas or click on the Video Timeline button right below the canvas. Then click on the microphone icon in the bottom left corner of the app window and select Record Voiceover option from the dropdown menu.

You’ll now see a simple popup window with a button to record your voice. Click on the blue, round button with a microphone icon on it to start recording your voice. Then click on the red button to stop recording.

If you’re satisfied or happy with the voiceover, click on the Apply button to add the voiceover to your video or scene. You’ll now see that the voiceover appears right underneath the video layer in the timeline. We’ll show you how to edit the voiceover later in the article.

To generate voiceover using text, click on the same microphone icon from the same location but select Text to Speech from the dropdown menu this time around.

Start entering the text in the popup window that appears next. You can enter a name for your voiceover and pick a Gender, Language, or Voice.

Click on the round button in the top left corner of the popup window to adjust the Speed, Pitch, and Volume of your voiceover.

If you’d like to undo all the changes you made, click on the Reset button.

Between each word that’s pronounced, you can add a Breath or Break and determine how long it should last. Simply click on the dot between any two words to add a breath or break between them.

You can also, however, choose not to make any changes yourself and let AI take care of it by using the Auto enhance feature. The auto-enhance feature automatically adds the breath effect, speed, pitch, etc. Tick the Auto enhance checkbox to auto-enhance your voiceovers.

Click the Play button to play and preview the voiceover. And then click on the Sync button to add it to the scene or video.

You can also upload your own voiceover (or audio) file to your video. You can upload it just like how you’d upload any other file to Animaker.

Or you can click on the microphone icon in the bottom left corner of the app window and select the Upload Voiceover option from the dropdown menu.

To edit the voiceover, simply click on it from the timeline. This will reveal a tooltip with options to play the voiceover, adjust its volume, duplicate and delete it.

Step 3: Preview and Download the Video

You can now preview your video by clicking on the play button beside the Share button.

To download the video as an MP4 file, click on the Publish button and select Download Video from the dropdown menu.

You can also share the video directly to various social media platforms from right within the app.
