Slide Properties

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right

When you select one or more slides in the slide window, or when no element is selected in the Editing Window, the Properties Window displays properties related to the slide.

Transitions and Time

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Transition and duration

The time when the slide appears is changed automatically or manually.

Playback time

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Transition and duration > Playback duration

The slide is displayed and then the time it takes to move to the next slide is adjusted. Depending on what content is included in the slide by default, the playback duration of that slide is determined.

For example, if the criterion is narration, it is automatically adjusted to the length of the AI voice, and if the criterion is video, it is adjusted to the length of the inserted video clip.

Narration(Default)

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Transition and duration > Playback duration

If there is a narration in the slide, the duration of that narration is used as the standard. If the narration is the standard but there is no narration, a default of 3 seconds is provided. If a specific segment is set to play only with settings such as trim for the narration, only that duration will be played.

Video

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Transition and duration > Playback duration

If a video is embedded in the slide, the duration of that video is used as the standard. If a specific segment is set to play only with settings such as trim for the video, only that duration will be played. In the case of multiple videos, the most important video is automatically determined as the standard and adjusted accordingly.

Manual

Regardless of what elements are within a slide, it sets to play only for the specified time. Usually, narration or video is the standard, but understanding the concept of time in Videostew is important, and it is used only to modify the duration for constructing different effects.

Transition Effects

The transition effect refers to the animation that plays when moving to the next slide. After selecting the desired transition effect, you can instantly preview how it looks through the preview feature, allowing you to quickly check with your own eyes.

Transition Effects Time

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Transition and duration > Transition effect duration

The transition-effect duration is the time the animation keeps running. For example, if you want the "Cube" animation to appear a bit slower, insert 10 seconds, press Preview, and verify it with your own eyes.

For reference, the transition-effect duration cannot exceed the slide's total duration.

Narration

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Narration

Sets the type and properties of the narration used when the slide is recreated.

If you want to regenerate only a specific section within a noisy timeline, adjust this setting

AI Voice

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Narration > Type:AI Voice

Voice

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Narration > Type:AI Voice > Voice

You can change the AI voice. Select the entire slide to change the voice for the whole presentation, or apply a different voice to each slide individually.

You can search and apply the AI voice you want by language, emotion, age, gender, etc.

Table of contents detailed information

Videostew uses TTS provided by ElevenLabs, Humelo, Google Wavenet, Amazon Polly, Naver Clova, and Microsoft Azure.

You can set up complex search criteria based on each engine, such as gender, age, emotion, atmosphere, and language, allowing you to quickly find the voice you want.

Pro Tip: Each slide will have AI-generated voice. Follow the guidelines to ensure each slide has a completed sentence. Use the enter key to provide line breaks and apply [text appearance effects] to create a natural flow.

Provided languages

Korean, English, Chinese, Spanish, Hindi, Arabic, Bengali, Portuguese, Russian, Japanese, German, French, Turkish, Malay, Tamil, Thai, Vietnamese, Urdu, Persian, Italian, Thai, Gujarati, Polish, Ukrainian, Dutch, Greek, Swedish, Romanian, Hungarian, Danish, Finnish, Slovak, Norwegian, Hebrew, Malay, Czech, Bulgarian, Slovenian, Lithuanian, Latvian, Estonian, Croatian, Malayalam, Kannada, Welsh, Irish, Basque, Icelandic, Swahili, Filipino, Mongolian, Maltese, Catalan

Speed

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Narration > Type:AI Voice > Speed

Change the reading speed of AI voice. Generally, readers prefer a speed of 120% - 130%, but it can vary depending on the characteristics of the AI voice, so you can decide while pre-listening.

After regeneration

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Narration > Type:AI Voice > Mute after playback

You can use this when you want to read all the AI voice in one slide and add a slight pause. By setting the time to around 0.5 seconds, you can prevent it from moving to the next slide too quickly.

Conversely, if you think the mute time increases when moving to the next slide, you can set it manually. It supports up to -0.2 seconds, and generally, -0.1 seconds will give a slightly faster transition.

Manual text placement

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Narration > Type:AI Voice > Manual text input

When you enable the automatic text designation toggle, you can adjust the content to be read however you want, independent of the text shown on the screen.

It is generally used when you want to display only the words on the screen and read the detailed content separately, or to adjust the pronunciation.

Playback Time

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Narration > Type: AI Voice > Playback time

If the AI voice does not reach the end due to a network issue, or if the voice length is not calculated correctly, press the "Recalculate" button to regenerate the AI voice and reset the duration of each slide.

Slide Repeat Playback

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Narration > Type: AI Voice > Slide repeat playback

When you enable the slide repeat toggle, the same sentence is read repeatedly when it appears in multiple slides.

For example, it can be used when intentional repetition is required in educational videos.

Voice Cloning

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Narration > Type:AI Voice

In addition to the AI voices provided by Videostew, you can directly create and use TTS that has learned your voice.

You can start recording your voice by clicking the 'Add' button on the custom tab. You can record in real-time on the website, or you can upload a pre-recorded file.

When recording, reading just five sentences is sufficient. When uploading a pre-recorded file, please upload an audio file that is longer than 15 seconds.

The reason for using voice-cloned TTS is to present a natural-sounding voice. Therefore, it is more effective to create a natural TTS without using professional recording equipment. It is also beneficial if the speaking style you frequently use comes out naturally. If you plan to create conversational content, please record a naturally conversing voice.

The cloned voice is tied to the workspace. If you want to use the AI voice you created in another workspace, press the Settings (▼) button next to the Add button and bring the voice you own to the other workspace via the “Import Voice from Another Workspace” button.

Sound Effects

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Effects

Sets the effect that is regenerated when a slide starts. By default, the effect continues to regenerate until the slide ends, even if it is longer than the slide duration.

Type

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Effects > Type

Clicking "Select" allows you to apply a sound effect to a slide. You can find sound effects by genre, and it is convenient to select while listening to previews by hovering the mouse. If you wish to remove a sound effect, select "None" after making your selection.

Volume

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Effects > Blur

Change the speed of the sound effect. You can adjust it appropriately while listening to other elements through the preview.

Slide Repeat Playback

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Effects > Slide repeat playback

If the same effect is applied to multiple slides, this option allows it to be regenerated repeatedly each time the next slide starts.

In the inactive state, the image is judged to have the same element (effect) continuously present on the slide, so it is regenerated only once.

Matching Slide Playback Duration

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Effects > Match playback to slide

Activating this option will naturally fade out the effect if the effect's duration is longer than the slide's playback time, without exceeding the duration of the slide.

Background Music

Edit Screen > U-mute Slide Properties > Background Music

You can set background music that is used throughout the entire project and background music that is used only in specific slides.

Slide Background Music

Edit Screen > U-mute Slide Properties > Background Music > Select

After pressing the "Select" button, you can preview the music and apply it; if the same audio is already used in consecutive slides, it will continue seamlessly.

Volume

Edit screen > Slide Properties on the right > Background music > Volume

You can decide on the appropriate volume while previewing.

If the original audio is separate and you are only adjusting the volume, the global background music will automatically apply fade in/out effects, so the volume is adjusted smoothly.
