Did you know you could adjust the duration of the scenes in your video? However, there are limitations to the adjustment you can make to the scene duration when you have applied a voiceover.
Voiceover Types and Limitations
1. Recorded/Uploaded Voiceovers
Scene duration button is disabled
Video duration is synced with the voiceover duration
Cannot be increased or decreased
2. AI Voiceovers
Scene duration is based on the time taken for the AI to read the text
Cannot be reduced below the minimum AI reading time
Can be increased, by adding a pause after the voiceover finishes
How to increase the scene duration
To increase the duration of a scene:
From the storyboard, click on the scene you want to modify.
Go to the 'Scene duration' button on the page.
3. Edit the duration (in seconds) or use the control arrows to adjust.
4. Select 'This scene' to set the duration for the current scene or select 'All scenes' to set the new duration for all scenes.
How to reduce the scene duration
To reduce the duration of a scene:
For AI voiceovers, the only way to reduce duration is to remove text from the scene.
For recorded voiceovers, duration reduction is not possible.
Remember, adjusting scene duration can impact the overall flow and timing of your video. Use this feature thoughtfully to enhance your storytelling and viewer experience.
