Adjust playback

If the playback is too fast or slow for you to record on, try these options:

  • Adjust playback speed: Select the video, then Speed (1x by default) on the toolbar. Use the slider or use the number field to adjust between 0.25x (slowest) and 2x (fastest).
  • Change the scene duration: Select Duration, then use the trim handles or lengthen or shorten the scene. Learn more about changing scene durations.

I can’t find the option to record a voiceover

Record voiceover isn't available to design or page types that don’t support audio or duration, such as:

  • Docs
  • Sheets
  • Whiteboards
  • Websites

To use the feature, consider resizing your design.

You may also try recording yourself or generating a voiceover from text using AI voice, Murf AI, or AiVooV.
