More on InstagramTo add a voiceover to a video on iPhone in Vyra, put your footage in a project and record narration in the app. You can also type a script and choose an AI voice. Check that the words line up with what is on screen, then balance the narration with any music before exporting.
Write the line while watching the shot. If the sentence explains something the viewer cannot see yet, move the line or keep the shot longer. A voiceover should help someone follow the footage you actually have.
Add narration to your footage
- Add the clips to a project in the Vyra iPhone app.
- Arrange a rough picture edit so you know what each part needs to explain.
- Record a voiceover in the app, or type a script and choose an available AI voice.
- Place the narration against the relevant footage and play the two together.
- Lower music under the words and decide which original sounds should remain audible.
- Check names, pacing and the final sentence before exporting.
Write a script that fits the shots
For a process video, explain the decision someone cannot see. "I used a dry brush here because I wanted the edge to break up" adds something beyond "now I am painting."
Keep one thought per sentence. Read it at a comfortable speed. If the line runs past the shot, shorten the line or hold the picture longer instead of rushing the voice.
Prompt to try
Align this narration with the painting footage. Show the close-up of the brush when I explain the dry-brush technique. Keep the narration clear, lower the music under it and hold the finished painting through the last sentence.
Review with headphones
Listen for the start and end of each sentence. A small cut that removes the breath may also remove the first sound of a word. If the narration sounds detached from the footage, adjust one line at a time.
