Question

Can I make my Title last less than 20 seconds?

I am trying to add some text describing something in a short scene. The rest of the project is captioned for the spoken words. I know how to shorten titles, etc by grabbing the handles and shortening or lengthening. But it seems like text, such as titles or headings have to have a minimum timing of 20 seconds. This is way to long for my needs, as captioning for spoken word happens. I don’t want them on the screen at the same time.

Does anyone know how to do this? I am using Chrome and using Express Premium.

    Hi @dmarkdebh,

    Thanks for taking the time to explain your workflow—we understand how important precise timing is, especially when working with captions.
    To show text for only a few seconds, you can split the scene: place the title in a short scene with the desired duration, then continue the rest of the video (including captions) in the following scene to avoid overlap.
    We appreciate you sharing this need and have passed your request for more flexible text timing to our engineering team for consideration.

     

    Regards,

    Mahmoud
