How to Create Voice Overs in Shotcut

How to create voice overs in Shotcut without needing to use any third party software. This can be particularly helpful if you do not have any other software to record with, or you just want to do it all within one program.

Follow these instructions:
Click on Open Other
Select Audio/Video Device
On the Audio setting, choose your microphone
Click OK
Select Export
Choose MP3
Click Capture File
Enter the file location and a filename
Click Save

Your Audio is now recording!

Click on stop capture to finish the audio recording.

Drag the audio onto the timeline (or into the Playlist) to save it.

As a general word of advice, I would generally recommend doing all audio recordings in an another program (such as Audacity). Audio programs are built specifically and designed to use and manipulate audio. Whist Shotcut does it very well, the tools are somewhat limited and if you have any background noise or reverb it is harder to remove it from within Shotcut.
