Overview

Autotiming gives you a fast first pass for overlay timing based on scene context. Use it to avoid manual timing for every element, then adjust key moments manually. [insert screenshot of autotiming controls with selected overlays and generated timing order]

​
When autotiming works best

  • You have many overlays in one scene.
  • Initial sequence is more important than perfect polish.
  • You need a fast baseline before manual refinement.

​
Before you start

  • Finalize overlay content and rough layout first.
  • Mark priority elements that must appear at exact moments.
  • Save a checkpoint before running a full-scene autotime pass.

​
Steps

  1. Select the overlays you want to auto-sequence.
  2. Run autotiming.
  3. Preview once at normal speed.
  4. Identify overlays that must move earlier/later.
  5. Manually refine timing for high-priority elements.
  6. Re-run autotiming only for subsets if scene changes later.

​
Check your result

  • Overlay order follows the narrative flow.
  • Important overlays appear at the right spoken moment.
  • Scene pacing remains smooth and readable.

​
Troubleshooting

​
Sequence feels random

Autotiming is a starting pass. Lock critical elements manually after generation.

​
Too many timings changed

Undo and run autotiming on a smaller subset of overlays.

​
Re-running breaks polished timing

After manual polish, avoid full-scene reruns unless structure changed significantly.
