Step into the world of video content creation with Canva, a user-friendly design tool that makes video editing, including voiceover and dubbing, as simple as clicking a button.

How do you voice over a Canva video?

To begin, head to the Canva homepage and sign in to your Canva account. If you're new to Canva, don't fret. Setting up an account is free and straightforward.

After finalizing your video, it's time to start recording your voiceover. First, ensure that your microphone is properly configured and that your recording studio (which could be as simple as a quiet room) is ready. Click on the 'start recording' button to begin your voiceover. Remember, you can always re-record sections if needed.

Can I extract audio from a video in Canva? Can you edit video audio in Canva?

However, you can edit your audio file using an external program and then upload it back to Canva. Please refer to the Canva website for the most recent feature updates.
