Overview

You don’t need a separate app to record a quick intro, reaction, or narration. The Assets panel in the editor can record from your camera or microphone and save the result with your uploads.

Step-By-Step Workflow

1

Open the Assets panel

In the editor, click Assets in the right sidebar.
2

Click Record

Click Record and choose:
  • Record video to use your Camera, or
  • Record audio to use your Microphone.
3

Allow access

If your browser asks for camera or microphone access, allow it.
4

Record

Click Rec to start. After a short Get ready countdown, Reap starts recording. Stop when you’re done, or use Retake to try again.
5

Add it to your clip

Your recording is saved in Saved Uploads. Click Add to Timeline to place it in your clip, then move or trim it on the timeline.

Tips

  • Record somewhere quiet with your face well lit.
  • For narration over your clip, the Voiceover panel is quicker because it records in sync with playback. See How to Add a Voiceover.
  • Recordings stay in your uploads, so you can reuse them in other projects.

Troubleshooting

  • Recording doesn’t start. Use a current version of Chrome, Safari, Firefox, or Edge, and check the browser’s camera and microphone permissions.
  • The wrong camera or microphone is used. Change the default device in your browser or system settings, then try again.
