Question

How can I add a two second pause to the beginning of each slide?

Hello,

I have a project with TTS and perfectly aligned CC notes - 64 slides.  Now the customer would like for there be a two-second pause before the audio begins on each slide in order to allow the user to first become oriented with the slide.  Is there a way I can do this without moving the audio down the timeline two seconds, and then having to adjust the appearance of each of the CC notes accordingly? 

I was thinking of something like pause two seconds On Enter -- Is this possible?

Thanks for any help!!

Ryan

    VTML (VoiceText Markup Language) – This Powerful hidden gem in Text to Speech helps you control the generated speech by adding pause, changing the pitch etc !

    Please use the document linked below to get the more information on VTML tags and its usage.

    Hello,

    I use VTML and it is very useful, but in this case, I don't think it would help me with my problem.  If I add a two second pause in the audio using VTML (or add a two-second pause in the timeline before the audio even starts),  I would still have to adjust the CC notes by two seconds to make sure they stay aligned, and this will take a lot of time.
