In-script animation markers are animated design elements that trigger when the voiceover reaches specific points in the script. This feature is perfect for presentations or drawing attention to key areas on the screen. It's especially beneficial when you need to direct focus to a particular part of the screen at a specific point in the script, ensuring viewers stay engaged and follow along effortlessly.

Step-by-Step Guide to Adding On-Screen Animations

  1. Insert an Effect Marker

    • Click on the part of the script where you want to add an effect marker.

  2. Access the Effects Menu

    • At the bottom of the text editor, click the Effects button (look for the magic wand icon).

  3. Select an Animation

    • Choose the animation you want to apply to the video.

    • Note: Uploading custom elements is not currently supported.

  4. Preview the Animation

    • Click the Preview button in the upper-right corner of the video editor to see the animation in action.

    • Important: Loading may take 1-5 minutes. Avatars will not animate in the preview – they will move only after the video is exported.

Best For:

  • Highlighting important text or visuals during presentations.

  • Directing attention to specific screen areas at key points in the script.

  • Keeping your audience engaged with animated on-screen cues.

Tips:
