Record Audio Cell-By-Cell or Over the Whole Storyboard

Record Audio Cell-By-Cell in the Storyboard Creator:

You can add audio to your creations right in the Storyboard Creator! After you create your scene, you can record yourself speaking the dialogue, the text, or even just adding an extra level of explanation about your creation!

You can record up to 60 seconds for each cell. After you save and exit, click on "Slideshow Mode" to play your audio alongside your scenes!

Warning: Do not record copyrighted materials (background music, movie or tv clips, etc.)

  1. Create your scene, add as much text and dialogue as you like! Make sure you are in "Single Cell Mode" to view the record button next to each cell as shown below:
  2. When you click the microphone, a modal will appear with instructions to Start Recording. Click the record button to begin!
  3. Record up to 60 seconds of audio per cell. When you are done, click "Stop Recording"
  4. After your audio file uploads, you may keep it, record again over the previous file or delete the recording entirely.
  5. A green play button next the cell will indicate that an audio file has been recorded for that scene.
  6. Click "Save and Exit" and you will see your after creating options. Click on "Play Slideshow" to put your storyboard into slideshow mode and play the recorded files along side each scene!

 Record one audio file over the entire storyboard:

  1. Click "More Options" under your storyboard.
  2. Click "Record Audio".
  1. Click "Start Recording" when you are ready, then "Stop Recording" when you have finished:
  2. The audio will save automatically.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is the audio?

The audio you record for your storyboard can be up to 1 minute, or 60 seconds, long.

You can also download the audio you recorded as an .mp3 file if you would like to embed it into a presentation!

 Can I play audio per slide?

Currently, the audio you record is played separately, meaning you must click "Play" before using the View Slideshow feature (it does not play automatically). The one-minute length is for the entire storyboard.

Can I download my audio?

Yes! Click the Green Play Button on your recording to open your options. Then select the three vertical dots to the right. This will give you the option to download your recording as an mp3 file, or adjust your playback speed.

Please Note: Downloading your storyboard will not automatically download your audio recordings since they are formatted differently. If you would like both, be sure to download your audio file using the method above.

My audio won't record! What am I doing wrong?

  1. Be sure to enable your microphone in your browser before clicking record. If you do not click Allow, your device will not record any audio.
  1. Be sure to confirm your microphone is connected to your computer and properly selected as the correct device for audio input. Options will vary by device.
    1. Why isn’t my microphone working?
      If you're having trouble recording audio, your device might be using the wrong microphone. For example, if you have both a webcam mic and a headset mic, your browser might default to one you're not actually using. This happens often—like when your headset mic is selected, but you're not wearing the headset, so nothing gets picked up. To fix this, check your browser or device audio settings to make sure the correct microphone is selected.
