Edit element timing in your video
You can control exactly when text, images, and other elements appear in your video. Perfect for matching elements to music, staggering animations for visual interest, or timing captions so viewers can read them comfortably.
Element timing controls when items appear in your video. Animation speed and duration (intro/outro) are adjusted in the Animate panel. For select animations, you can choose a speed preset (Slow, Medium, Fast) or set precise intro/outro durations.

Grouped elements appear on a single layer and can be edited together.
