While After Effects does not have built-in voice-over recording, you can use Voiceover AI from AEJuice, a pack that generates realistic AI voices. This guide will walk you through the steps to install, generate, and integrate voice-over into your After Effects project.

Step 1: Install AEJuice and Open Pack Manager

First, install AEJuice Pack Manager 4 if you haven’t already. Launch After Effects, then go to Window > AEJuice Pack Manager 4 to open the plugin interface. This tool allows you to browse and install various AEJuice packs, including Voiceover AI.Step 2: Search and Download the Voiceover AI Pack

In the Pack Manager 4 search bar, type Voiceover AI. Click on the Voiceover AI pack to download it. Once downloaded, the pack will be available for use in After Effects.Step 3: Select a Voice

Once the Voiceover AI pack is installed, browse through the available voice options. 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.
