### Creating overlays

Once your upload or voiceover recording is complete, we'll generate a transcript of the voiceover and automatically create a video for you. Voiceover videos use the transcript as a timeline for the video, with video scenes called overlays placed on top. You can edit overlays just like you do normal scenes: just click on the overlay and edit the text or media right on the scene.
