3. Select and Edit Your Gaming Clip
- Choose a clip to which you want to add a Bits voiceover. For example, select a 30-second clip
- Adjust the start and end points of your video as needed. Some Bits styles are set lengths so you can’t adjust the length of the clip but if the gaming clip chosen is longer than the Bits style then you can change the starting point
- Press the X to confirm your choice

- Share Later: Choose ‘Share Later’ if you want to add your Bits video to another video project or if you want to have it stored in your video gallery for showing to others or general use in the future.
Additional Tips
- Multiple voiceovers: You can add multiple voiceovers to a clip. Ensure they are spaced apart to avoid overlap.
- All video edits in Share Factory Bits Editor have to be done in one go as projects in Bits Editor can’t be saved partly done and come back to it. All edits have to be done in one go.
- A good microphone or headset will provide better-quality voiceovers. For my recommendations take a look here (coming soon)
