Music and voiceover

Choose Audio on the editor’s left. It has three tabs: Music, Voice and Files.

Music

1. Under Describe the music, say what you want: the mood, the instruments, whether it has vocals.
2. Choose Make a track. The credits it costs are on the button.

The track is made as long as your edit, between 15 seconds and a minute, and lands in Media when it’s ready. Drag it onto an audio track from there. Music made here is safe for commercial use.

Voiceover

1. Under What should it say?, type the script. Or describe the product and who it’s for, then choose Write it for me and Shotz writes a script you can change.
2. Pick a Voice. Each one says what it sounds like.
3. Choose Record it. The credits depend on the length of the script and show on the button.

The voiceover lands at the playhead when it’s ready. To make a generated shot say it, put the voiceover under the shot and use Lip sync in the shot’s Clip panel. See Change a clip.

Sound files

Files lists the audio in this project. Choose Add to put one at the playhead. To bring in a new file, upload it from Media.

Levels

• One clip: click it and use Volume in the Clip panel, from silent up to twice as loud.
• A whole track: hover the track’s name on the timeline and choose Mute track.

The sound from video clips plays too; turn it down with the clip’s Volume.
