In-script Effect animation markers are design elements that trigger when the voiceover reaches specific points in the script. This feature is perfect for drawing attention to key areas on the screen during presentations or guiding focus to important visuals.
How to Use In-Script Animation Effects
Step 1: Insert an Effect Marker
Click on the part of the script where you want the animation to trigger.
Step 2: Access the Effects Menu
At the bottom of the text editor, click the Effects button (represented by a magic wand icon).
Step 3: Select an Animation
Choose the animation you want to apply to your video.
Note: Custom elements cannot be animated like this. Follow this guide for other methods of adding animations in your videos.
Step 4: Preview the Animation
Click the Preview button in the upper-right corner of the video editor to see the animation in action.
Important: The preview may take 1-5 minutes to load, and avatars won’t animate during the preview. They will only move after the video is exported.
Ideal Use Cases for In-Script Animation Markers:
Emphasizing Key Points: Highlight important text or visuals during presentations to ensure they stand out.
Drawing Attention to Specific Areas: Direct your audience's focus to key parts of the screen at precise moments in the script.
Engaging the Audience: Use animated cues to keep your viewers' attention and guide them through the content.
Helpful Tips for Using In-Script Animation Markers Effectively:
Don’t Overuse Effect Markers: Too many animations can overwhelm your audience and distract from the main message. Keep it balanced or it may lead to a 999 error.
Experiment with Different Animations: Test various animation options to find the one that best suits your content and enhances the flow of your presentation.
