Slide Properties

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

You can change the time a slide is displayed automatically or manually.

Playback time

You can change the time a slide is displayed before moving to the next slide. The default playback time for a slide is determined by the content within the slide. For example, if a narration is set on a slide and it's set to 'Use the duration of this narration as the standard', the slide playback time changes accordingly as the narration changes. Each standard is as follows.

Narration(Basic)

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

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 is an animation that is triggered when a new slide appears. After setting the desired transition effect, you can quickly verify how it looks through the part preview.

Transition Effects Time

Transition Duration is the duration of the animation effect. For example, if you want the "cube" animation to appear slowly, try inserting 12 seconds and adjust the appropriate time while previewing.

The transition effect time is reflected only within the playback time of the slide. Therefore, even if the transition effect time is 10 seconds, if the playback time of the slide is 5 seconds, the animation effect will be shown in 5 seconds.

Narration

Slide Properties Window > Select narration

Narration is a setting related to speaking during slide playback. Although videos are typically watched visually, setting up narration alongside can enhance the content's transmission ability.

Narration Settings

Slide Properties Window > Select narration > Select type > Set desired properties

Narration is a property applied to slides. Therefore, it is a feature that allows you to set it individually per slide. If you want to apply different narration settings to each slide, use [Copy Slide] to create a new one and then apply different narration settings.

Upload

You can upload pre-recorded MP3 files. Use the trim feature to precisely insert 'fade in' intervals for each slide. Click here for a detailed introduction to the trim feature.

Voice Recording

You can record your voice directly on the website. The recording continues seamlessly, allowing you to time it just right to move on to the next slide. For a splendid content creation method using the voice recording feature, please refer to [Using the Voice Recording Feature].

AI Voice

Voice

You can change the AI voice actor and apply different voices for each slide. Generally, after selecting the entire slide, apply the voice. As the supported language varies by character, matching the language of the text will enable a more natural reproduction.

< AI Voice Category Detailed Search >

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

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.

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.

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

Activating the text manual setting toggle allows you to adjust the reading content as desired, regardless of the text displayed on the screen. It is commonly used to correct pronunciation or when you want to display only the words on the screen and read the detailed content.

Playback Time

Due to network issues, the AI voice may not be output until the end or may be cut off in the middle, or the length of the voice may not be calculated properly. In such cases, press the "Recalculate" button to create a new AI voice and reset the time for each slide.

Slide Repeat Playback

If the slide repeat playback toggle is deactivated, in the case where the same text is on multiple slides, it will only be read once on the first slide and not read again as it moves on. This can be used when you want to insert animations intermittently while a sentence is being played.

Voice Cloning

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.

Sound Effects

Set the sound effect that plays when the slide starts. The sound effect continues even if the slide changes and will last until it finishes.

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

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

Slide Repeat Playback

[Slide repeat playback] When this is enabled, if the same effect is applied to multiple slides, it will be repeatedly played every time a new slide starts. In other words, in the basic state of Videostew, if there is no change between slides, it should proceed normally, but if this option is enabled, it will loop and the effect will start again.

In the disabled state, the transition between slides is not interrupted, so the specified effect will continue to play.

Matching Slide Playback Duration

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.

Slide BGM

When you want to use more than one BGM in a video, you can set different music for each slide through the slide BGM function.

After clicking the "Select" button, you can choose and apply the music, and if the same sound source is included in the continuous slide, it will be played seamlessly.

You can determine the appropriate volume through the volume menu in the settings panel. (If the sound source is not adjusted separately and only the volume is modified, the global BGM will play again, becoming larger or smaller in a specific slide and automatically applying the fade-in/out effect, playing the music again.)

Background Color

You can change the slide's background color from the default (black) to a different color. Additionally, you can add other colors by clicking the '+' button and specify gradient effects.

Recent

The colors recently used are displayed.

Favorites

Frequently used colors can be added to Favorites for easy access. Favorites are managed separately for each workspace.

User

< Add Custom Color >

Click the '+' button to directly add a custom color. You can easily find and add the desired color using the color spectrum in the 'Add Color' window.

Stock

There are about 140 default colors prepared in the color palette. Selecting a color will apply it to the background of the slide, and you can also change the colors of multiple slides at once. Please refer to [Edit Multiple Slides at Once] for how to edit multiple slides simultaneously.
