How to Use Old Legacy AI Stock Voices in Descript Underlord
Descript revamped the AI text-to-speech engine last year and some of the old stock voices were retired, such as Don and others which had voice variations you could use.
Descript Underlord still allows use of those old stock voices, you just need to enable them in a specific place.
In this video, I walk you through how to activate and use the old AI voices (Descript calls them LEGACY AI) and create text-to-speech with them. Now, these voices are not as good as the new ones, which are more refined and sound more natural, but if you're still looking for the old voices where you could add different styles or emotion to them, watch this video and find out how to get them.

does this only work on the descript app? I only use the desktop web version and don't see the option to open a window :/
Yes, on the web you have to use a new tab in your browser
How come you speak American English? (Living in the UK). It's awesome! 😉
I am not American, nor British. I can do any accent I want :)
LIFE SAVER! THANKS A MILLION!!!!!!!
Happy to help
Maybe Camtasia could offer a typewriter effect feature so we don't have to make all these little individual tweaks.
I am sure they could but I don't see it as a core feature. It's probably not a priority.
Very helpful, thanks!
You're welcome!
Oh nice, I didn't even notice that, I thought the voice styles were still available in the new AI voices.
Yeah no, the new AI ones don't support variations.
Thank you so much for the video!
Glad it was helpful!
Get Descript and generate text-to-speech: cotovan.com/descript
you are doing justice to descript, unfortunately, people are still in time line editing video software, underlord is great,
The timeline is still useful for precise edits. I would hate it if Descript removed it altogether. Much more control.
Primitive mode. Program does not have object tracking
I know! It sounds like they might add it soon
Very clever solution
Thanks! Hope it helps.
Great call, loved the the filler word removal method, that's huge! Also, thanks for the tip on the intro scenes, going to steal that for sure!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for hanging out.
hi I'm new to your tutorials and camtasia. do you have a tutorial on cutting up long videos to smaller clips that can be used for other platforms, shorts, etc? also wanted to do reduced length videos by cutting out a lot of the extra that are relevant from the intent/focus of a video (i.e., cutting up and extracting from 1hr to a 10 min length for a particular topic of that 1h vid)
Camtasia has a separate tool (separate subscription) called Audiate that allows you to transcribe and cut video, filler words, gaps, all that. It requires a roundtrip so it's a little clunky in my opinion. If you want to cut long videos into smaller clips, for now Descript is better: cotovan.com/descript
wow
great sharing
Well done ... Thank you
Welcome 👍
with all due respect, guys, but I think this is not a good example for what one would call a successful UA-cam channel. The most recent numbers are very overseeable (like below 1k for every recent video). The big hits are ages old (5 to 10 years) and that is a loooong time. I am sorry to say that, as I appreciate this channel, but for me, this is NOT a successful education channel. It's size and growth are not exponential but very overseeable. So any advice should be taken with a grain of salt. Just my 0.02.
Thank you for your comment, I agree in part but also disagree. It depends on who you compare yourself to. It may be a slow burn but I think unless you cover some famous trending piece of software or topic, educational content is usually slow to pick up and develop. 'Viral' stuff tends to die down soon. This is even more true if you follow the strategy that Chris (and myself) tend to employ: specific videos showing one thing, teaching one solution. Those usually don't have a huge audience overall, which is why becoming evergreen is a great benefit: they will keep being relevant many years from now. I appreciate your feedback, loving the conversation.
Great video guys, and solid advice, love the content over subscribers outlook.
Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed this.
I really like how down to earth this is.
Thanks a lot, that's great to hear. Glad you enjoy it.
HANK YOU VERY MUCH CRISTI ON YOUR GREAT VIDEOS. I LEARN FROM YOU SO MUCHT. I HAVE A GREAT ISSUE WITH THE CAMTASIA 2023 SCREEN RECORDER AND NOBODY IN THE SUPPORT SOLVED IT. I CERTAINLY THINK IT IS A BUG IN THE SCREEN RECORDER BECAUSE IN THE OLDER VERSION I HAD (IN CAMTASIA 9) EVERYTHING WAS GOOD. WHEN I RECORD MY WORK FROM ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR IT DOES THE WORK BUT WHEN I START EDITING IN THE FIRST MINUTE OF THE PLAYING IT DAMAGES ALL THE COLORS. MAYBE YOU CAN SOLVE IT? THANK YOU VERY VERY MUCH. ILANA
Hi Ilana, that sounds like a challenging one, particularly if the support team couldn't solve it. When you say "damages all the colors", what do you mean, like they look washed out, or super saturated and broken? Maybe it's a GPU issue, do you have your drives up to date for your graphics adapter? I can't provide much more info without more background. Have you tried on a different computer?
@@Graphicious THANK YOU VERY MUCH ON YOUR RESPONSE THE COLOR COMES WHITE OR MUCH MORE BRIGHTER.THE DRIVER I UPDATED WITH THE SAME COMPUTER THE CAMTASIA 9 IS OK. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
@user-sv8jg4gg4o a lot of things changed since Camtasia 9. The entire rendering and recording engine has been overhauled as far as I know. You can’t compare them. What computer and OS do you have?
@@Graphicious I INSTALLED CAMTASIA 24 AND EVERYTHING IS OK. I THINK IT IS A BUG IN THE SCREEN RECORDER OF CAMTASIA 23
@user-sv8jg4gg4o yeah they changed it in 2024 a lot. Glad it works
TYSM!!!!!!!!
How can we add video clips among those pictures with transition effects?
You can add them manually after the slideshow is generated.
Super job, super content, Love from India 🇮🇳

Hi, Christi - another great video! What is the best way to use Camtaisa and PowerPoint together, so that Camtasia will pick up the transitions, animations, and other effects in PowerPoint?
The only way to capture PowerPoint's animations, transitions etc., in Camtasia, is to use Camtasia to screen record while you present them in PowerPoint.
@@Graphicious Yep, Christi, that's what i figured, thank you so much.
Can you do it to a square surrounding the whole video?
Yes, you can apply the same type of transition to a rectangle that has no fill, and only outline.
Amazing Worked like a charm, thank you.
thank you <33
You're welcome 😊
Thank you for your video it was helpful. I would like to know how do you get a black background behind you in the video. I work from home and would like to make some talking head videos where I'm sitting at my desk like you are and I don't want to show my kitchen table which is behind me. Can you please tell me how I can pull this off with the black background like you have or maybe even a white background? Thanks!
Thank you! I use Camtasia for my editing and I film with a green screen. But Camtasia includes an AI-based background removal effect now, just like Zoom. And you can place whatever you want behind you. Here's a video I made in which I show both methods: ua-cam.com/video/j9YbuwIF-PQ/v-deo.html
Thank you so much for the fast response and also for sending me the video that you recorded. If you don't mind, can you share with me your setup with your green screen that you use as you background? I would like to look into that as an option as well. If it's something that you purchased on Amazon the model or the items you use to prop up your green screen behind you would be most appreciated. Thank you so very much for your help in advance sir. 🙂
@artwarrenlaw I used to have a roll up greenscreen from Amazon. However, that was not wide enough, and my camera had a bit of a wide angle. This meant I was always capturing beyond the edges of the greenscreen or I had to have the greenscreen so close to me that it was literally sitting on my back! Then I painted the wall behind me green. Problem solved!
I have problem in ms word that, two words are connected, and i want space between them. Hiw can i do for larger such error?
Connected like twowords together like this? That would be a spelling check problem I think. Is it always the same two words? Would a search and replace work?
@@Graphicious in every sentence there are two or three these types of different words being together. Foe example socialas, correct is social as
@raushankumar-gr8ec oh if the words are always different, then you probably should use spell checking. I can’t think of an automated way to fix them if they change
@@Graphicious ok Thanku so much sir For your insight
