Learn how to record a voice-over on an audio track from the Timeline panel in Premiere Pro.
Before you begin
Display the Voice-over Record button that lets you record a voice-over directly from the Timeline onto an audio track. Select the track in the Timeline > Settings > Customize Audio Header > Button Editor > drag-and-drop the Microphone button to the required audio track > OK.
- Mark a specific In and Out range to insert the audio recording.
- As soon as you mark the In and Out range, the voice-over recording workflow starts.
- A pre-roll countdown appears as an overlay on the Program Monitor. It's a visual cue to give you time to prepare and begin the recording. You can specify the duration of the pre-roll countdown in the Voice-Over Record Settings dialog box.
- Recording automatically starts when the playhead reaches the In point in the timeline.
- The recording ends when the playhead reaches the Out point in the timeline. The status message on the Program Monitor then changes to "Finishing...".
Result
Once the recording is complete, an audio file of the recording is created. The audio file is imported as a new project item into the Project panel.
