Create the script and narration automatically

Moving on opens a dialog about how to create the script and narration. Automatic creation is the easy choice for a first video.

1. 1Read the explanation. Create automatically prepares the script and narration from slide 1 onward. A credit estimate is shown; for this example it was 5 slides × 15 credits = 75 credits for scripts, plus narration by the seconds created.
2. 2Click Create automatically.

2. 2
   Action Click Create automatically.

Check Automatic creation continues in the background, so you can choose the presenter meanwhile. The estimate depends on the number of slides and your plan.

Step 4, Slides and script, opens. Because we chose automatic creation, the script and narration are prepared slide by slide. The figure shows this in progress.

1. 1Check the Auto-generation indicator at the upper right. In the figure, five of five scripts and four of five narrations are done.
2. 2The slide list on the left shows a status for each slide, such as Saved, Audio ready or Creating audio.
3. 3Finished script lines appear under Script for this slide on the right.

3. 3
   Check Finished script lines appear under Script for this slide on the right.

Check For this five-slide example, the script and narration were ready about three and a half minutes after clicking Create automatically. The wait varies with deck size and load. Let the indicator progress instead of pressing buttons repeatedly.

Click Parameter settings at the upper right to open the settings for the whole video. The figure shows its Voice and Emphasis sections. This example kept every default.

1. 1Check Voice and Speaking style. The example shows the presenter’s preset for both, so the voice chosen in the presenter step is used as it is.
2. 2Default speed is the baseline reading speed for every line (Standard here). Closing greeting sets how the final greeting is read (a calm tone here).
3. 3Emphasis highlights what is being said on the slide. The example uses Highlight the shape being discussed, the Frame look and red.
4. 4Below are the pause fields. The example shows 0.6 seconds between sentences, 0.5 between slides, a reading pause of 2 seconds and one blink.

Scroll Parameter settings down to find the Captions and Total length sections.

1. 1Check Lines under Captions: two lines here. The choices are the template default, one line and two lines.
2. 2Check Target length under Total length. It is empty here; the hint reads “e.g. 3:00 (empty = no limit)”.
3. 3Read the notes below: empty means no limit and the length follows the amount of content; a target takes effect from scripts written after you set it.
