Editing Photos or Video Clips

You can add text over the image or video clip by selecting "Title" and choosing a text layout. Then simply double-tap on the text to write. 

Recording your Voice

Select the microphone button. Have your script ready and hit record. 
Wait until it counts down 3-2-1 then begin recording. Do not worry about the length of the image at this point. This will be adjusted AFTER you record. Record each image individually-do not create one long recording. ​

Adding Sound and Music

Select the + and choose audio. You can choose from theme music or sound effects. 
Hit "Use" to insert music or sound effects into your video. 
Make sure to adjust length and volume so that it fits appropriately in your video.
