Slide Editing: TYPES OF SLIDES

ISSUE!  I accidently added a "new type" of text that didn't exist - "rising" (this already existed as "scrolling").  This was also caused by confusing "growing" with "bold".

The fix is pretty simple.  replace all rising with growing.  replace all current "growing" with bold.  Animoto also added a "clean slate" style that might come in handy if some of the bolds are too strong.. but probably better just to replace them with a growing, scrolling, or typing.

SCROLLING, typing, GROWING, and BOLD.  There is no rising.  And there IS a bold

Crossing out script to make slides fit

So, the trick here is EVERY SLIDE needs to START with the text matching the audio.  It's kind of like the first sentence of the paragraph being the most important sentence as it describes the paragraph.  If you don't start with these matching, it's awkward, because the slide shows text right away that isn't reflecting the audio yet.

QUICK FIX: Anywhere there is currently cross-out text to start a slide, move that text to the slide above it.

Timing Slides

Works really well as long as they can be 95% good.  If you need 100% perfection you have to do slides 1 by 1... but that takes FOREVER... so for VLP2, timing is great.

EVEN WHEN THERE'S NO CROSS OUTS!  This slows things down slightly because you have to fine tune the exact positions of the slides more, but it's really easy editing... you're literally just adjusting slide positions slightly and adding fades.

If anything, simply round DOWN when you time slides.  Black space is always okay with this editing style.

Final Editing

You'll want to make sure the starts of sentences are capitalized, etc, so you can literally get all slides created on Animoto within an hour.

I would literally do a full listen through and clean up the text as you go, that way you can see if the words on the slides are matching what I'm actually saying.
