For best results, confirm that your microphone is working correctly with your computer and Premiere Elements before narrating a clip.
Using your computer’s microphone, you can narrate clips while previewing them in the Monitor panel. Your narration is then added to the Narration soundtrack visible in either the Quick view timeline or the Expert view timeline.
In Premiere Elements, choose Edit > Preferences > Audio Hardware / Adobe Premiere Elements 13 > Preferences > Audio Hardware.
In the Expert view timeline, drag the current-time indicator to the point where you want the narration to begin.
In the Quick view timeline, select the clip you want to narrate. Then, drag the current-time indicator to the point where you want the narration to begin.
If your speakers are turned on, move as close to the microphone as possible, and keep the microphone as far away from the speakers as possible to prevent feedback.
An audio clip containing your narration is added to the Project Assets panel and to the Narration track in the Quick view timeline or the Expert view timeline (below the selected clip).
If you do not click the Stop button, recording automatically stops at the beginning of the next file in the Narration track, or 30 seconds past the end of the last clip in the Quick view timeline or the Expert view timeline.
Clicking Record again overwrites any narrations that are already in the Narration track.
In the Expert view timeline, drag the current-time indicator to the location where the old narration begins.
In the Quick view timeline, select the clip containing the narration you want to change. Then, in the Monitor panel, drag the current-time indicator to the location where the old narration begins.
To replace the narration, click the Record button. Clicking Record again overwrites the existing recording with the new one.
To discard a narration, click the Delete button.The old narration clip is removed from the Quick view timeline or Expert view timeline. However, it remains in the Project Assets panel in the Expert view timeline.
