Integrating pauses into videos has never been simpler with this new feature.

2. Edit Your Video: Navigate to the editing space, where scenes can be adjusted.
3. Select a Scene: Click on the scene you want to add a pause to, then click on the duration next to the clock icon.
4. Set the Pause Duration: Add the number of seconds you desire, such as two seconds to the current duration (e.g., 18 + 2 = 20 seconds).
5. Play and Review: Test the scene to ensure the pause has been applied successfully.
The Need for Pauses in Your Videos
