How to Add Narration to Video in Descript

Описание: Learn how to record narration or voiceover in Descript with pre-recorded footage. I give you a simple guide on how to record a voice narration in Descript, even after you've already inserted B-roll. This tutorial helps you explore Descript’s scene creation, audio recording and gap clip manipulation features, highlighting how you can add narration without disrupting or replacing your existing video footage. However, it's important to consider Descript's limitations as it does not play footage while recording, so you will need to have knowledge of the video content you're narrating.

I also look at a few quirks and traps in recording and using the layers and scenes in Descript. If you're not careful, Descript will replace your gap clips with your recording, will jump the recording to the wrong scene and more weirdness. So tread carefully!
