The Retime tool allows you to adjust the timing of your captions. Use this to precisely time each word or phrase to match the audio.

How to use the Retime tool

There are two ways to use the Retime tool:

Retime entire transcript

  • Click on the Retime tool icon in the toolbar.
  • Click on the Start Retiming button.
  • Brevidy will create a new image layer for each word in your captions. It will then place each image layer in your sequence at the current in and out times for each word.
  • Shift the word image layers to correctly align with the audio.
  • Click on the Confirm button to save your changes or Cancel to discard them.

Retime selected captions

  • Click on the Retime tool icon in the toolbar.
  • Click and drag in the transcript editor to select the captions you want to retime.
  • Brevidy will create image layers only for the words in your selected captions. These layers will be placed in your sequence at their current in and out times.
  • Shift the word image layers to correctly align with the audio.
  • Click on the Confirm button to save your changes or Cancel to discard them.
