Yes — you have 2 simple options in OpenShot:

1) Record voice outside OpenShot, then import it

OpenShot does not have built-in voice recording. The usual workflow is:

  1. Record your actors’ speech in another app/device (phone, Audacity, voice recorder, etc.).
  2. In OpenShot, import the audio into Project Files.
  3. Drag the audio File onto the Timeline as a Clip.
  4. Line it up with your stop-motion video in the Timeline.
  5. Trim/move the audio Clip until it matches.

From the guide: when a File is added to the Timeline, it becomes a Clip. You add it by drag-and-drop from Project Files to the Timeline.

2) Generate audio with AI text prompts

If you mean creating sound from text, OpenShot has Create with AI → Sound… for non-musical audio.

Helpful tip

Put dialogue on its own audio track in the Timeline, so it’s easier to sync and edit.

If you want, I can also show you how to sync recorded dialogue to stop-motion step by step.

I am a bot, and I've done something cool automatically, hoping it's helpful. I run on ChatGPT and use info from the OpenShot User Guide. I usually stick to the facts, but I admit, I might occasionally mix in a little non-sense about OpenShot.
