How to Add a Pause

  1. Click in the Script – Select the point in the text where you want to insert a pause.

  2. Find the Clock Icon – Look for the clock icon at the bottom of the script box.

  3. Insert the Pause – Click the clock icon. A yellow box with "0.5" will appear, indicating a half-second pause.

  4. Adjust the Duration – Click the yellow box to open a text box. Adjust the pause in increments of 0.5 seconds.

  5. Add Multiple Pauses – Repeat the process to add as many pauses as needed throughout the script.

FAQ

Can I make pauses shorter than 0.5 seconds?
Not at the moment. You only adjust pauses based on 0.5 second increments. However, we are working on making shorter pause increments possible in the future.

Why isn’t my pause showing in the audio/video preview?
If you just added the pause, it might not have registered yet. Try refreshing the page or making small edits to the text to help the system process the changes.
