Voiceover and ElevenLabs
Record onto Mic after the fact if the first pass was messy. Use Record Voiceover (⌥⌘R). It lands at the playhead.
Or generate:
- Mac voices: no key. Choose Generate Voiceover and pick a system voice.
- ElevenLabs: paste your API key in Settings → Voice & Captions. Generate onto the Mic track. The same key unlocks cloud captions and SFX/music in Assets.
Why use ElevenLabs for voice
Mac voices are fine for a quick scratch track. ElevenLabs is better when the narration has to sound finished:
- Large voice library — many natural speakers, languages, and styles instead of a short system list
- More natural delivery for product demos, ads, and tutorials
- Same key for captions — use cloud transcription when Apple Speech struggles, without a second setup
That traffic goes to ElevenLabs, not to MoreFrame. Default captions stay on-device unless you choose ElevenLabs.
