How to Edit Audio
Narrations and audio can be added when ever you choose! You can narrate while you do your recording, or choose to do it once you have finished your presentation. Additionally, you have the ability to make any edits at anytime during your presentation. This is what the editing area (in the lower left corner of the project window) looks like:

You can edit the audio by selecting the area you want to edit and choosing among the timeline toolbar selections that relate to audio (cut, split, fade in, fade out, volume up, volume down, replace with silence and audio enhancements). Move your cursor towards the bottom corner of each icon to find out the name of the icon.
Adding Voice Narration
 |
To add narration, select Voice narration… from the “Add” items in Task List menu located on the left side of the project window. |
Once you have chosen the “Voice narration…” the Voice Narration recording area will replace the Task List on the left side of the project window. When you are ready to record your audio you can simply click the Start Recording button and begin.
When you are finished recording your audio, click the Finished button. |
 |
In the Timeline view, you can get to work on adding or editing your narrations. If you want to narrate your entire video, try to wait to do your narrations last after you have added and edited all of your clips. Doing so will allow your audio file to be added into the Timeline in synch with your video clips.
Note: A necessary tool to have is a working microphone that is attached to your PC. You may also consider using the Zoom In button on the Timeline for a closer scrutiny of your clips and frames.
