Filters window does not show + to add filters

Hello, I am using Shotcut 24.09.13 on Ubuntu 24.03. I want to add voice over to a section of the video I am working on. The audio is already separated and the timeline for the video and the audio are unlocked. How do I add a voice over just to that section? I used Open Other to choose Pulse, open, choose export as a wav and then click capture. At that point I do not know what to do.

thanks

Record Audio / Voice-over

Setting your microphone: (This only needs to be done once for Shotcut) Open Other - Audio/Video Device [shotcut_2023-12-14_22-24-13] Click on Open Click on the Timeline Click on the Microphone symbol on the Timeline [shotcut_2023-12-14_22-32-11] Name the Voice Over audio file. Once you click “Save” for the file name, it starts recording immediately. [shotcut_2023-12-14_22-32-54] When done, click the same Microphone symbol. This stops recording and saves to the file name you…

Thanks, that helped. This time the mic appeared. I think I just missed it because the timeline window was not fully expanded, and the mic sits at the end. I added the opus file to the playlist, unlocked the audio track and dragged the opus file to where I needed it to play.

I ran across another issue. After recording and saving the .opus file remained on the screen. So I reopened the file I was working on, checked to see that the opus file was still where I put it, and saved the file. Is this the correct or best procedure, or perhaps the only one.

thanks
