Yes, yes this is all well and good, but what if you want to make the duration of entry or exit effect different from the default? Even PowerPoint lets you change the rate at which an animation occurs, but these controls seem to be missing from PowToons. I’m willing to accept perhaps I’m missing something, so please let me know if there is a way to do this.

I find the entry and exit animations are much faster than they should be, so I’d like to control how long each effect takes from start to finish.

Thanks.

Powtoon has one major downfall that makes it unusable for me. The timeline does not include the various audio tracks and show the audio waveform and the layers of tracks. That is a deal breaker for me.

Is there anyway I can delay the exit effect from executing for x seconds.

For example: I would do the 'word' enter effect and after the text is done writing, I want the text to remain on the screen for x seconds before exiting with my desired effect.

I found dragging the timeline to the right (to increase its duration) only slowed the the speed of the text being written.
