Film & Animation
Introduction
Creating voiceovers for your videos can add a professional touch, but not everyone is comfortable using their own voice. Fortunately, with Clipchamp, you can easily generate lifelike AI voiceovers at no cost. This step-by-step guide will walk you through the process of adding an AI voiceover to your video using Clipchamp's text-to-speech feature.
Step 1: Getting Started with Clipchamp
Log In or Sign Up: Start by logging into Clipchamp or signing up for a free account. Once you’re in, you’ll be taken directly to the video editor.
Import Your Video: To add a voiceover, import the video you wish to edit. Click on the "Import Media" button, select your video file, and hit "Open". Your video will now load into your media library.
Add Video to Timeline: Drag and drop the imported video into the timeline, positioning it for editing.
Step 2: Creating the AI Voiceover
Access Text-to-Speech Feature: Navigate to the toolbar on the left side and click on the "Record and Create" tab. From there, choose the "Text to Speech" option.
Select Language: In the property panel, click on the Language tab and choose from over 80 available languages. For this guide, we will select English.
Choose Your Voice: Click on the voice drop-down menu to see different voice options. Each language provides unique voice selections. Preview them by clicking the "Hear This Voice" button until you find the one you like.
Adjust Pitch and Pace: Once you’ve selected your desired voice, you can fine-tune the pitch and pace in the advanced settings. Options include extra low, low, medium, high, and extra high pitches. Use the pace slider to speed up or slow down the voice, then listen to the changes by clicking the "Hear This Voice" button again.
Step 3: Adding Your Script and Saving
Enter Your Text: Type in the script you want the AI to speak in the text box. Be aware that the maximum duration for the voiceover is 10 minutes.
Preview Your Voiceover: After entering the text, click the "Preview" button to listen to your voiceover. Make any final adjustments to the pitch and pace if necessary.
Save the Voiceover: Once you’re satisfied with how your voiceover sounds, hit the save button. Your voiceover will automatically be saved as an MP3 audio file in the timeline below your video clip.
Trim Your Video: If your video is longer than your voiceover, you can trim it. Click on the video in the timeline and drag the end handle to the left until it matches the length of the audio.
Check Your Edit: Play your video back to ensure everything flows nicely.
Step 4: Exporting Your Video
When you’re completely happy with your edits, export your video by clicking on the "Export" button. Select your desired video quality, and once the export is complete, your video will download directly to your device, ready for sharing.
By following these straightforward steps, you can create professional-quality voiceovers for your videos using Clipchamp’s AI voice generator, free of charge!
