Question: What's the best way to change to another scene during narration? #1

Closed metmajer closed 5 years ago

metmajer commented 5 years ago

Hi @gojko,

I have a narration whose message could be emphasized by transitioning to another slide while the narration is being spoken. The challenge I'd like to solve is: how can I make a transition to the next slide without breaking the flow of the narration, i.e., introduce an unnecessary pause? Thanks!

I've tried to set the pause between the two subsequent scenes to 0 via:

- slide: Part 1
  narration:
    - The first part of the sentence...
    - pause: 0
- slide: Part 2
  narration:
    - ...followed by the second part.

But this fails with the error "narration.text cannot be empty".

EDIT: I've found out that setting pause: 0.1 gets rid of the error message, but doesn't actually shorten the transition time between the two scenes.

Hi @gojko, any thoughts on this? Cheers!

Hi,

the way things are set up now, each narration step is a separate voice file, so it's spoken like a sentence. I'll have to think about implementing that in some sensible way. For now, I guess rewriting the narration so it uses full sentences for each scene is the only workaround. I've added it to the list. Sorry about not replying sooner, had to take a break from videopuppet for a while, but now back in action.

@gojko no worries, I fully understand. Thanks for the update!
