Finish in the track editor and save the MP4

Clicking Open the MotionVox editor in the studio opens the same project in the track editor, with the studio content arranged on rows (tracks) by type.

1. 1Check the row names on the left: Captions, Caption band, Presenter, Presenter audio, Emphasis, Slides and Background.
2. 2The Presenter and Presenter audio rows hold one clip per line. Presenter clips are marked as preview generated.
3. 3The Emphasis row holds the emphasis clips, the Slides row the slide images and the Background row the background.
4. 4Check the slide and presenter in the preview at the top.

   Check Check the row names on the left: Captions, Caption band, Presenter, Presenter audio, Emphasis, Slides and Background.
2. 2
   Check The Presenter and Presenter audio rows hold one clip per line. Presenter clips are marked as preview generated.
3. 3
   Check The Emphasis row holds the emphasis clips, the Slides row the slide images and the Background row the background.
4. 4
   Check Check the slide and presenter in the preview at the top.

Check Saved (auto-save) at the lower right shows the save state. For editor basics, see “Editor overview” in Quick start.

When the track editor opens, check the end of the video, because in an automatically created video the last caption can stay slightly longer than the slide and presenter, as it did in this example. With no clip selected, press the End key to move the playhead to the end.

1. 1On the top Captions row, look at the end of the last caption. In this example only the last caption extended slightly beyond the clips on the other rows.
2. 2Check that the clips on the Caption band, Presenter, Slide and Background rows end before the caption.
3. 3Check the final picture in the preview. In this state the slide and presenter have already disappeared and the picture is dark.

1. 1
   Check On the top Captions row, look at the end of the last caption. In this example only the last caption extended slightly beyond the clips on the other rows.
2. 2
   Check Check that the clips on the Caption band, Presenter, Slide and Background rows end before the caption.
3. 3
   Check Check the final picture in the preview. In this state the slide and presenter have already disappeared and the picture is dark.

Check In this example, during roughly the last 0.6 seconds the slide and presenter disappeared and only the caption remained. If the ends are already aligned you can skip the next step. Playhead at the lower left shows the current time (200.12 seconds here).

Keeping the playhead at the end, select each short clip and extend its end to the playhead: click the clip, then press the E key.

1. 1On the Caption band, Presenter, Slide and Background rows, click the last clip and press E. All four ends align with the red vertical line (the playhead).
2. 2The last Presenter clip now says it needs preview generation, because its length changed.
3. 3Click Generate ungenerated in the toolbar to recreate the presenter video.

1. 1
   Action On the Caption band, Presenter, Slide and Background rows, click the last clip and press E. All four ends align with the red vertical line (the playhead).
2. 2
   Check The last Presenter clip now says it needs preview generation, because its length changed.
3. 3
   Action Click Generate ungenerated in the toolbar to recreate the presenter video.

Check In this example regeneration took about 45 seconds and the clip returned to Preview generated. We did not extend the Presenter audio row, because the narration length does not change. Extend end to playhead in the right-click menu does the same.

After adjusting the clips, export the video again. Click Output at the top, then Export video in the menu to open the confirmation.

1. 1Check the export settings: 1280×720, 30 fps, MP4 (H.264 / AAC) in this example.
2. 2Click Export.
