Create an audio and voice recording using the audio recorder
To record audio directly in Clipchamp, go to the record & create tab on the toolbar, then click:

How to add audio to the timeline
After a new audio file appears in the your media tab on the timeline, you can drag and drop it into the timeline below your video to start editing. You can move, split or trim the audio track and perform additional editing operations.
What to do if an audio file doesn't import?
If a music track doesn't appear when you try to add it or it doesn't load properly:
-
Make sure your file is one of the audio formats we currently support.
