6. Record your voice
-
People are more likely to understand your message when there is text and voice as opposed to just voice- Click on Configure Recording
- Click on check box that corresponds to the microphone box.
- Choose your choice of the two microphones
- Open up your Keynote slide show
- Highlight first slide
Click on ScreenFlow movie icon and click Record- As soon as countdown is finished, click on Keynote Play button
- Read all of the text into your Mac’s built-in microphone
- After finished reading all text, press Esc key
- Click on camera icon
- Stop Record

- Click on File > Rename
- Immediately give it a descriptive name in case it accidentally gets deleted or partially erased
- Now begin to edit audio
7. Isolate each set of audio waves
Timeline at the bottom will be composed of two tracks — an audio track and a video track.- Select and delete video track
• Audio track is only thing we are
interested in right now.
• You will notice that sound waves in left-hand image are rather small.
• Click on audio properties icon
and give the volume a large number such as 800
• Press Tab key
• Waves will get much larger- Much easier to edit audio
- Isolate waves and ignore flat (silent) lines
- Move scrubber to front of a wave
- Right-click on the clip and click on Split Clip
- Isolate each set of voice waves, press Cmd C to copy into clipboard
- Then Cmd V to paste them beginning in the appropriate place on time line of original video
- Appropriate place would be after first word of the video clip
- In the image below, it would be just beyond the word “we”.
8. Freeze frames to position sound waves correctly
- At times audio wave goes beyond end of text
- For instance, these waves say “We finished Rick’s plaque and mailed it to him”
- Voice goes to right beyond text in video clip
- Viewer of finished video will not have time to read it all
- So, it is necessary to extend video clip to at least as far as end of audio clip
-
- Move scrubber to end of text in video clip
- Right-click and click on Split Clip
- Move right-hand video segment to right of the audio clip
- Move scrubber so that it is no longer at very end of video clip
- Click on Add Freeze Frame
- Right-click on video clip
- Delete tiny clip at end of new freeze frame
- Then hover over right-hand edge until you see two-pointed arrow with a line through it
- Drag that either to right or left to beyond the end of audio clip
- Make sure video clip you dragged over to right is touching video clip on left
- Otherwise black frames will show up
- Drag scrubber to beginning of audio clip and check work
- Go through same procedure for every audio clip
- Make sure there are no gaps between any of the video clips
- Save your video and watch it several times until you are satisfied with your
creation
