Dear DaVinci Resolve Team,
First of all, thank you for introducing the new Voice Over Tool in DaVinci Resolve Studio 20. It is intuitive, easy to use, and a valuable addition to the software.
To make it even more effective in professional workflows, I would like to suggest two enhancements:
1. Customizable Countdown:
Currently, the tool allows a fixed three-second countdown before recording begins. It would be beneficial to allow users to set this countdown duration freely, depending on their specific needs.
2. Pre-Roll Functionality:
At the moment, the recording starts immediately after the countdown. However, for voice-over artists, it would be extremely helpful if the system included a true pre-roll – meaning the timeline rewinds by a defined duration, plays back from that point, and then begins recording. This provides context and helps achieve a smoother and more precise delivery.
While it might seem like starting the recording earlier could be a workaround, this approach doesn’t work well in scenarios where a new voice-over needs to be seamlessly attached to an existing audio track.
I believe these enhancements would significantly improve the usability and flexibility of the Voice Over Tool in professional environments. What do you think – could such features be considered for a future update?
Best regards,
Nico Sandhof
