Adjusting the scene length

You can make scenes longer or shorter by dragging the scene markers on the wordline

Updated over a week ago

You can change how long each scene lasts—either to match your narration more closely or to add breathing room for on‑screen text. On desktop, adjust scene boundaries directly on the wordline without using credits. On mobile, adjust scene timing in the script, which will require audio/visual regeneration.

TL;DR

  • Desktop: Drag the scene markers on the wordline to make scenes longer/shorter.
    No regeneration cost for timing‑only changes on desktop.
    ↳ Dragging a scene boundary to the start of the previous scene or end of the next scene prompts you to remove that scene.

  • Mobile: Edit transcription/scene length in the Script page.
    ↳ Requires Save & Regenerate (you’ll see the credit cost). Batch changes when possible.

Adjust with scene markers (desktop)

  1. Open your project on desktop.

  2. In the editor, locate the wordline (the text‑aligned timeline).

  3. Hover over a scene marker (the divider between scenes) until the resize handle appears.

  4. Drag left to shorten the scene or drag right to lengthen it. Your captions and B‑roll timing will follow the new boundary.

  5. Release to set the new length—no credits are consumed.

Heads‑up: If you drag a boundary all the way to the beginning of the previous scene or to the end of the next scene, you’ll see a prompt asking if you want to remove that scene. Confirm to remove, or cancel to keep all scenes.

Edit timing in the script (mobile)

On mobile, transcriptions and scene timing is controlled through the Script. Making these changes in mobile requires regeneration, so there is an associated credit cost.

  1. Select a scene and click the more actions (⋮) menu, then select Edit Script.

  2. Edit the transcription and adjust the scene breaks/lengths as needed.

  3. Save, then choose Save & Regenerate.

  4. Review the credit cost shown and confirm.

  5. Preview changes once regeneration completes.

Cost tip: Regeneration reprocesses the full video’s audio; batch multiple script/timing edits to do it once.
