Can you silent a scene in imovie and talk over it?
I am wondering if you can shoot a scene (on your iphone), block out whatever sound is in the scene, and then talk over it.
Thanks in advance!

Hello spteach83,
I understand that you would like to record video on your iPhone and then strip out the audio so you can do a voiceover. Yes, that is something that you can do. Take a look at the links below to walk you through doing that on your iPhone using iMovie. I also have highlighted the specific steps on removing audio from a vide and and the recording a voiceover.

Adjust volume
With your project open, tap a clip in the timeline to reveal the inspector at the bottom of the screen.
Tap the Audio button
.
Do any of the following:
To turn sound off or on for a clip: Tap the Mute button
next to the volume slider. When the clip is muted, tap the Mute button
again to turn sound on.
When you turn off the sound for a video clip, a mute icon also appears in the upper-left corner of the clip in the timeline.
To adjust volume: Drag the volume slider left or right.
To make sure that the sound in your video clips can be heard over the background music, iMovie applies audio “ducking” to background music. Ducking lowers the volume of background music clips whenever there is a video clip whose sound is playing at the same time. When a video clip’s sound is off, ducking isn’t applied.
Tap outside the inspector to close it.
Record audio
You can record audio, such as voiceovers, directly into your iMovie project.
Recorded audio clips are colored purple in the timeline and can be edited in the same way as any other audio clip.
With your project open, scroll the timeline so that the playhead (the white vertical line) appears over the place where you want the recording to begin.
Tap the Record Audio button
, and when you’re ready, tap Record. After a 3-second countdown, begin recording.
When you’re done, tap Stop.
Do one of the following:
To delete the recording and dismiss the recording controls: Tap Cancel.
To start the countdown again and record a new audio clip: Tap Retake.
To listen to the recording: Tap Review.
To keep the recording and add it to your project: Tap Accept.
After you record audio, it becomes available in the media library (in Audio > Recordings) so that you can use it in another project.
Take care
