Record Narration
If you have a microphone, you may also use iMovie’s Audio Pane to record narration straight into iMovie.
- Connect your Microphone. If you’re in the I.T. Lab, you’ll find a combo headset/mic at every station. You’ll also need to check out a “Hockey Puck” USB adapter, so that you can plug both jacks into the Mac simultaneously.
- Click on the Audio tab.
- Check your levels. If you’re all hooked up, iMovie’s Audio Meter should register your voice as you speak.
- If you’re not getting sound or you need to adjust the level, minimize iMovie, open the Apple Menu > System Preferences > Sound > Click “Input.” Make sure the microphone is the device selected for sound input. Adjust volume with the Input Volume Slider at the bottom of the Sound Preferences menu.

- On your Timeline, position the Playhead where you’d like your Narration to start. iMovie will record straight into Audio Track 1, so you might have to free up some space first.
- Click the red RECORD button and start speaking. Click RECORD a second time to stop recording.
- iMovie has automatically added this clip to Audio Track 1. Once you’re done recording you can always slide it down to Audio Track 2.
