How to Do a Voiceover in Final Cut Pro
Final Cut records narration or plays an imported file. Here is each path, and how to bring in a clean generated voice.
How to do a voiceover on Final Cut Pro
Generate the voice in Cantari: paste your script, pick a voice, and generate a natural read in seconds, then export the audio file (MP3 on every plan, WAV on paid plans). No microphone, no retakes.
To import a ready voice: drag the audio file into your event, then onto the timeline as a connected clip under your video.
To record instead: open the Voiceover tool (Window, then Record Voiceover), position the playhead, and record.
Use the Volume and the audio inspector to balance the narration against music and effects.
Final Cut's recorded voiceover is convenient but live: it picks up your room. Importing a generated take keeps every line clean and consistent, and you can re-generate one line without re-recording the session.
