Timeline Basics

The first thing you should do after you import your media file into TimeBolt is to review your Timeline (waveform) by pressing the Spacebar, or pressing the ‘Play’ button to preview both audio and video.

In the Timeline,

Red Sections indicate sections that are cut out (silences).

Green Sections indicate sections that are kept (speech, other sound).

There will also Orange Sections (discussed later) which will be fast-forwarded.

<aside> 💡 If the play-head lags at a red section, it is possible that you recorded using Zoom or PowerPoint's Variable Frame Rate (VFR) feature. Please refer to the Troubleshooting section for a possible solution.

Important

For files over an hour long, the Timeline is divided into 45-minute 'Chunks,' but they are still exported as a single file. Click on 'Next Chunk' to access the next 45 minutes.. Also, you can use ‘Previous Chunk’ to go back to the previous 45 minutes.
