Automatically pausing video for narration

Apr 23, 2023

I'm attempting to edit a video so that it automatically pauses and plays narration and then resumes once the narration audio clip concludes. I've created a trigger to pause the video at a certain cue point, added the audio clip to that cue point and then added another trigger to resume the video once the audio clip finishes. The problem is that I have around 50 audio clips, or pause points to add. I'm wondering if anyone knows a more efficient way to do this ? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

What you are describing seems to be the state of the art, even if somewhat tedious. But that’s why they pay us the big bucks, right? The only other option would be to split the video at the appropriate points, play the audio when the video completes, and play the next video when the audio completes. It would probably work, but seems to me to be even more work. :(
