Using Narration Text Blocks
Master the art of editing narration and timing it perfectly with your slides. Control pacing, emphasis, and flow to create professional-sounding videos.
How to Edit Narration Text
Select a Slide
Click on any slide in your project timeline to select it. The narration text block for that slide will appear in the editing panel on the right.
Edit the Narration Text
Click inside the narration text box to edit. Type or paste your script for that slide. The AI narrator will read exactly what you type.
Tips
- Write naturally, as if you're speaking
- Use punctuation to control pacing (periods create pauses)
- Keep each slide's text focused on one main point
Preview the Narration
Click the 'Preview' or play button to hear how your narration sounds. This generates a quick audio preview without rendering the full video.
Adjust Timing and Pacing
Control how long the slide displays and how fast the narration is spoken:
Slide Duration
Set minimum time the slide stays on screen
Speech Rate
Adjust narrator speed (0.5x to 2x)
Pause After
Add silence after narration ends
Use Pronunciation Hints
For tricky words, brand names, or acronyms, use pronunciation hints to ensure correct reading.
Split or Merge Slides
If narration is too long for one slide, split it into multiple slides. Or merge short slides for better flow.
Writing Tips for Better Narration
Keep It Concise
Aim for 30-50 words per slide. This keeps viewers engaged and allows time for visuals to register.
Use Natural Language
Write how you speak, not how you write. Contractions and casual phrasing sound more natural.
Control Pacing with Punctuation
Periods = long pause. Commas = short pause. Ellipses (...) = dramatic pause.
Avoid Jargon
Unless your audience expects it, use plain language. The narrator handles complex words better with simpler alternatives.
