Jenny, I have only done voice over once, but I do know that you MUST render your movie first (in Movie Maker) then record the audio. Movie maker does not allow you to have 2 audio tracks.
I'm really glad I read this. I was planning to start working on the assignment tonight and was planning to do a voice over. If this gets to be too much, I will revise and use text.
So you mean the you render your movie and then basically create a new movie using the older version adding the voice over??
Dave, you've got it right. You have to create your movie with the music (or voice over) and then save it as a movie file. Then you have to re-import the movie into a new Movie Maker project. Then you can add the second audio track.
Do any of you Mac users with HD 5 or six have a clue how to shorten clips. I have a mess in the length of my piece and what the guides say is not how mine seems to want to behave?
For the Voice over using movie-maker, if you if you look around the area where they have the writing "time-line" you will notice a small image of a micro phone. you click on that icon and the microphone for audio recording will be activated. If you plan to record more than once or to test and reject, then open a new movie-maker page you may not use, and throw in as many pictures as possible to give an extended audio space. Then click on the start narration button. When you are done with the whole message or the paragragh you simply click the stop narrtaion button. You will be asked if you want to save what you have just recorded. Save, but note where it is saving into so you can move it to another file or retrieve and test it.
When you have recorded as many as you want make sure all the recordings are saved then close that work page and bring up your actual work page. After this check in the section that you have imported your files into, if those recordings are not there you can then import them in from wherever they would have been saved.
Once they are in the file area you just drag them like any other file and put the under whichever photos or clips you want to match with them. To make them fit you can also drag to trim the edges, but note that the trim is sometimes not as clean as you will like to have them.
