What you’ll work toward

Pair a short audio passage with a visual for sharing.

Select the sound

Open AudioGram and choose New audiogram. Select an available recording or use the source options presented in the sheet. Choose a passage that contains a complete idea, with enough lead-in to understand the speaker and a clean ending.

In the editor, use the waveform and timeline to set the range. Listen through the whole selection. Adjust the visual presentation and preview it at the size your audience will see. AudioGram is especially useful when the source has sound but no video footage.

Choose an audio recording. Select a ready recording and a passage that expresses a complete idea.

Finish the piece

Check any visible words against the recording. Make sure the voice is clear and the visual does not obscure the message. Export, wait for the project’s progress to finish, and play the downloaded file before publishing. If the source is still uploading or processing, wait for it to become available before editing.

Build and preview the audiogram. The editor groups visualizer, captions, background, sound, layers, brand, and outro controls.

Example: let an audio-only sermon travel

Harbor has a clear audio recording of “Practicing Patience” but no video. The team chooses New audiogram, selects the recording and listens for a complete explanation with a useful ending. In the source sheet they choose the relevant range, then open the editor. The waveform helps locate a passage, but the sound—not the shape alone—determines whether a cut is natural.

The editor offers Visualizer, Captions, Background, Sound, Layers, Brand and Outro tools. Start with a restrained background and visualizer so the words remain the focus. Add a title that identifies the message without claiming more than the speaker said. Check the layers and contrast at the intended viewing size.

Listen and inspect before sharing

Play the full selected range, checking its opening and ending. If captions are used, compare their words and timing to the audio. Check that background sound does not mask the speaker. Use the preview controls, then export and follow the progress shown on the project. Play the downloaded file on a phone as well as through headphones.

If a recording is still uploading or preparing, wait until it is ready. If an export fails, read its displayed status and retry after checking the source and connection. Keep the editable project for future changes. For a video source, consider Moments; for a visual sequence, try a carousel.

Design for listening

A visualizer can show that audio is playing, but it should not compete with the speaker. Use Layers to inspect overlapping elements and Background to check contrast behind any text. The Brand and Outro panels can add recognizable context where appropriate; keep the message understandable even if a viewer does not know the church.

Listen for an abrupt edit at both ends. If the selected passage relies on a sentence before it, extend the range or choose another passage. The right duration is the duration needed to communicate the thought clearly.
