Recording narration doesn’t have to be hard.
After just a few steps, you’ll be ready to record voice over (VO) in DaVinci Resolve.
This can be high quality audio for your narration, or just temporary audio that can be replaced by a professional voice artist later.
Whether you’re editing a documentary or fixing dialogue for a short film, this method of recording right into Resolve is helpful.
It’ll certainly save you some time if you’d otherwise open another app and then import the file into Resolve. Now you can do it all in the same app!
