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.
Want to reduce the overall length of the video? If you organize them in the order of the most efficient methods, it will be as follows.
- Increase narration speed — If you increase the reading speed of the AI voice (e.g.: 120130%), the narration time becomes shorter, and the slide playback time also decreases automatically. This is the most efficient way to reduce the overall length while maintaining voice quality. → AI Voice Speed Settings
- Reduce narration text — If you shorten the text that needs to be read, the narration becomes shorter, and the playback time is reduced as well. This method involves deleting unnecessary sentences or leaving only the core content.
- Trim the video clip — If the video is an inserted slide, you can shorten the length of the corresponding slide by reducing the playback section (trim) of the clip.
- Manually adjust slide playback time — Use manual mode when you want to shorten only a specific slide to a fixed duration. Since the narration may get out of sync, caution is needed.
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.
