When you hover over different voice tracks, they will automatically play, making it easier to choose the best voice for your project. Once you’ve made your selection, click the download button in the top-right corner to save it.
Step 4: Enter Your Voice-over Text
In the “Enter Text for Voice Over” field, type your script. After entering your text, click the “Generate” button. The AI will process the text and create an audio track based on your selected voice.Step 5: Import the Voice-over to the Timeline

Step 7: Import Your Video and Adjust Subtitles
Now, import your video and align it with the voice-over. If you chose to generate subtitles, you can customize them using the Character Panel to adjust font, size, color, and positioning for better readability.Step 8: Preview the Project
Press Spacebar to preview your composition. Check if the voice-over syncs well with your visuals and make any necessary adjustments to the timing, subtitles, or effects.
