The script you create here can also be reused as subtitles on YouTube .

The first video introduced uses only one type of audio for narration.

With these specifications, 2000 characters will result in a video of about 5 minutes .

The video introduced here is narrated rhythmically with little gap between each audio segment, so if you leave more space between each segment, you could make a video that's about 7 minutes long.

If you structure the narration to match the content of the video, you can freely adjust the length of the entire video.

• What is the theme?
• How many minutes will the video be?
• Isn't the connection between the stories strange?

By keeping this in mind when thinking about the structure of your video, you can create a script smoothly.

Unfortunately, spaces, exclamation marks, and question marks have no effect on intonation .

SSML can also be used

5. Load the downloaded narration audio into your video editing software

Load the downloaded video narration audio into your video editing software.

If you download the entire audio file at once, you can just load the audio file as is.

If you download files in parts, the file names will be numbered consecutively, such as 0.mp3, 1.mp3, 2.mp3, so you can simply drag and drop them into your video editing software to load them in the correct order.

6. Edit the narration pauses

In videos, narration often requires a certain amount of pause.

This is because reading all the text at once can be difficult for the viewer to understand.

To create the perfect gap, try spacing out the audio gradually in your video editing software's timeline.

If you have downloaded the entire audio file, you can use the "Cut Tool" or "Laser Tool" to split the parts you want to leave space between.

For example, in Adobe Premiere Pro, you can split it using the "Razor Tool" menu.

If you download in parts, leave space between each audio file so that the intervals are just right for each file.

Editing in this way changes the timing, making the video easier to watch.

After this, you can edit the video to your liking.
