Resolution

The Video Editor in MiVideo does not have this capability. Instead use video editing software such as Adobe Premiere Rush, which is demonstrated in this article. See the Install and Activate Adobe Premiere Rush article for more information about obtaining this software. Other video editing software applications can also be used to add a voiceover track in a similar fashion.
