Accessing the Text-to-Speech Feature
To access the text-to-speech feature in Clip Champ, click on "Create a Video Now" in the top right-HAND corner of the interface. This will take you to the main editing interface where you can start working on your video.
Customizing the Text-to-Speech
On the left side of the interface, you'll find a button labeled "Record and Create." Click on it to open up a menu of options. Here, you'll see the "Text-to-speech" option located at the very bottom. Click on it to access the main text-to-speech interface.
In the upper left corner of the text-to-speech interface, you'll find a language option. You can choose from a wide range of languages, including 70 additional options. On the right side, there are 170 different voices to select from, including male, female, and neutral voices. You can also choose different accents and ages for the voices.
Previewing and Saving the Text-to-Speech
Once you've customized the text-to-speech settings, you can type your desired text in the text box provided. You can also adjust the speed of the speech to suit your preferences. To hear a preview of the text-to-speech, click on the preview button. This will give you an idea of how the text will sound in your video.
Additionally, you can add punctuation marks like periods, commas, ellipsis, and question marks to add emphasis and pauses to the speech. This allows you to control the flow and intonation of the spoken text. Experiment with different punctuation marks to achieve the desired effect.
When you're satisfied with the customization of your text-to-speech, click on the "Save to Media" button. This will save the text-to-speech audio in your media bin, ready for further editing and integration into your video.
Integrating the Text-to-Speech into Your Video
To integrate the text-to-speech into your video, you have two options. Firstly, you can click on the plus icon that appears when you hover over the audio in the media bin. This will add the audio to your timeline, where you can further adjust its placement and duration.
Alternatively, you can simply drag and drop the audio file onto your timeline. Clip Champ allows you to add other videos, pictures, and Music to your timeline as well, giving you full control over the editing process. Feel free to unleash your creativity and experiment with different elements to enhance your video.
Further Editing and Enhancements
Clip Champ offers a range of editing tools to enhance your video further. You can trim and cut Video Clips, adjust audio levels, and add transitions between scenes. Additional effects and filters are also available to give your video a professional and polished look. Explore these options to make your text-to-speech video even more engaging and visually appealing.
Exporting Your Video
Once you're satisfied with your video, it's time to export it. In the top right-hand corner of the screen, click on the "Export" button. Select the desired resolution, such as 1080p, and choose the output format as MP4. This will render your video with both the video and audio components combined.
After the rendering process is complete, the file will download to your PC. You now have a fully edited video with text-to-speech ready to be shared on different platforms or used in your projects.
Converting to Audio Only
If you wish to extract the audio from your video, you can use a website like Cloud Convert.
