How do I import audio or video into a note?

Last updated

Short answer

Open the note, tap ⋯ → Import and choose Audio or Video, then pick a file from the Files app (iPhone and iPad), or use Note → Import Audio / Import Video on a Mac. The file becomes the note's recording, and anything you type is timestamped to it.

Whether it’s a lecture, an online meeting, or your own audio creation, Noted allows you to quickly import existing audio and video files in most common formats into a note.

Import Media on iOS

  1. Save the media file locally to your device or to a supported file provider in the Files app.
  2. Open the note where you want to import the media.
  3. Tap ⋯ → Import, then choose Audio or Video.
  4. Browse and select the media file to import it into the note.

Import Media on macOS

The easiest way to import a media file on Mac is to simply drag and drop it into a note. Alternatively:

  1. Open the note where you want to import the media.
  2. Click Note in the top menu bar.
  3. Select Import Audio or Import Video from the drop-down menu.

Once a video is imported, it will appear in your note. You can:

  • Reposition the video by dragging it to the desired location.
  • Resize the video using the arrows in the bottom-left corner of the video.
  • Capture a screenshot by pressing Shift + Command + 4, then pressing the spacebar on the video window or dragging the cursor to select an area. Drag and drop the captured image into the note.

Importing Multiple Recordings

  1. Open the note where you want to add additional recordings.
  2. Open the note’s latest recording, then use ⋯ → Import → Audio again.
