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.

    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)

    • @Graphicious
      @Graphicious День тому

      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

    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.

    • @Graphicious
      @Graphicious День тому

      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.

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.

    • @Graphicious

      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?

      @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.

Then I painted the wall behind me green. Problem solved!
