You can edit your video first, and then record your voiceover after, or you can record the voice over and then edit the video around it. 

We recommend recording the voiceover first as you will sound the most natural. This way, you won't be chasing the visuals or feeling rushed to keep up. 

Nervous you won't know what to say? Write out a script or an outline and rehearse it a few times so you'll feel comfortable. In Filmora9, recording a voiceover is as simple as a few clicks.

Here's how you do it. Start by connecting your microphone to your computer. If you have an internal mice, you can use that but I always recommend using an external microphone like this one open Filmora9. 

Now that you are ready to record, you can find the voiceover button on the right hand side of the timeline toolbar It looks like a microphone. 

Click it and the record audio window will pop up. Here you can pick the device you want to record from. Select the external microphone. If you want to record your voice over after you have edited your video, you can mute the project to avoid picking up the sounds already on the video. That's all the setup necessary now hit the red microphone button in the middle. 

You will have a three-second countdown to prepare yourself, and then it is recording. Once you're done, hit the red button again to stop recording. Click OK and you will see that the voiceover is now in both the media panel and the timeline. You can edit the voiceover track like you would any audio track. There you go. That's how you record voiceover and Filmora9.

How to Screen Record on Windows and Mac with Filmora9


Hey everyone, it's Elliot from Filmora, here to empower your inner video creator. So you want to show your audience what is happening on your computer screen, whether you're creating a tutorial, or recording yourself playing a game. Did you know you could do that in Filmora9? That's right! You can, and here's how. Open up Filmora9 and create a new project. Go up to the top menu, and click "File" You will then see "Record Media" in the drop-down menu. 

Hover over that and you will see "Record PC". You might also notice a new window that has popped up that says "Filmora Scrn". Here you can customize the size of your frame you want to record. 

You can change the recording size by entering your desired dimension in the Width and Height parameters, or by grabbing the handles on the corners or side and adjust it to the browser or the screen you want to capture. There's more! You can choose whether to record audio and which device you want to record it from. 

If you're going to be showing an on-screen tutorial then you want to see where your mouse is clicking. You can do this by going over to settings and enabling the mouse click and audio. Once you have the settings you like, it's time to start recording! Hit the red button, and you'll see a countdown. And now, you are screen recording. To stop the recording, you'll see the stop button on the desktop menu. If you want, you can pause the recording, and restart it as well. 

Ok, let's say that you're done and hit "stop". Your screen capture will be saved as a video file in your Filmora9 screen capture folder and is available in your Filmora9 media panel. Here, you could simply drag your screen capture to the timeline and start editing. 

Because the screen capture will record bits and pieces from the beginning and the end that you might not want in your final version, you can do a bit of trimming here. There you go! You've created your first screen capture with Filmora9. But wait, we're not done yet. I'm going to show you how to add picture-in-picture to your screen capture to show off your personality, and... your beautiful face. Let's say you have footage of yourself going over a tutorial or gaming and you want to add that to your video. No problem. 

There are two ways you can achieve this effect You can do it as you're creating your screen capture by selecting "Record from Camera simultaneously" in the settings. Here, you can link your webcam, you can see your camera recording at the corner of your screen after you click record. If you don't like where it's positioned, just click, and drag it to the spot you want. 

After you're done, your screen recording will include your camera footage as well, right there Picture-in-Picture! Easy! But let's say you have separate footage that you want to add on top of your screen recording. Here's how you could do it fast with Filmora9. 

Now that you have your screen capture and placed it on the timeline import the footage you want as your Picture-in-Picture. Drag it onto the timeline on the track above the screen capture. To adjust the size, select the Picture-in-Picture clip by double-clicking it in the preview screen. You should see the handles on the sides and the corners. Grab one corner, and bring it to the size you want. Grab anywhere on the clip to position it to the spot you want. 

You can use the transform setting in the editing option to adjust the size as well. But I find it easier to see where it's positioned in the preview screen. Just like that, you've created screen capture and picture-in-picture all in one place. So, what are you going to screen capture next?
