FAQ

Add AI Narration to Instagram Reels — FAQ

Something not covered here? Contact us · support@vocallab.ai

My Reel is already filmed with no audio — can I still use this?

Yes, that's exactly the use case — write narration for the silent clip and layer the generated MP3 underneath it in your editor.

Can I time the narration to specific moments in existing footage?

Write your script in the order events happen on screen, then nudge the audio start point in your editor to line up cuts.

Does this replace my Reel's original audio or add to it?

The MP3 is a separate track, so you can mute the original clip audio or mix narration in alongside ambient sound.

What if my footage is a screen recording instead of filmed video?

Works the same way — write what you're explaining on the screen and layer the narration under the recording.

Can I add narration to old, unused clips sitting in my camera roll?

Yes, this is a common way to repurpose footage that never got posted because it lacked a voiceover.
