🕓🕓Use the Pause button for natural flow🕓🕓

There are two types of pauses-

In-script pause- Pause in between the words of the script.

Between-sections-pause- Pause made between different script sections in your video.

  • Move your text cursor to the desired location in the script.

  • Click the "🕓Add Pause🕓" button at the bottom left.

  • Each pause represents a half-second break; you can add multiple pauses for a longer break.

  • To create pauses between scripts, find the Clock Icon underneath your script.

✏️✏️Incorporate Punctuation Marks✏️✏️

  • Hyphens (-): Separate syllables for clear pronunciation.

  • Commas (,): Create shorter breaks.

  • Periods (.): Introduce longer breaks with downward inflection.

🔤🔤Ensure Correct Spelling and Language Consistency🔤🔤

  • Spell Correctly: Double-check your script for spelling errors.

  • Language Consistency: Avoid mixing languages. For instance, do not include Arabic words in an English script.

🗣️🗣️ Use our Pronunciation feature 🗣️ 🗣️

If you Preview your script and you feel some words aren't being pronounced correctly, you can double-click them and chose Pronunciation - here you can type exactly how you'd like the word to be pronounced. You can also use hyphens (-) to emphasize pronunciation.

This is particularly useful with Acronyms-

  • "AI" should be "a-eye."

  • "AWS" becomes "a-double you-s."

🔢🔢 How to write Numbers 🔢🔢

  • You can write out numbers or use phonetic spelling for clarity. Examples:

    • "2012" should be "twenty twelve."

    • "3/8" becomes "three eighths of an inch."

    • "01:18" should be "one minute and eighteen seconds."

    • "10-19-2016" is "October nineteenth two thousand sixteen."

    • "150th CT NE, Redmond, WA" should be "150th Court Northeast Redmond Washington."
