      Bug fixes and improvements

      Resolved “pause” cue error in beta

      We've resolved the pausing cues error that some users experienced while creating in our beta version of Studio. Specifically, the "longer" pause now behaves as intended instead of a shorter pause. This fix ensures that the timing in your cues works as expected for your voiceovers. 

      WSL Cues
      We invite you to explore our beta model and experience the improved pause cue again or for the first time! And as always, your input is vital to us. If you have any questions, encounter issues, or want to share your thoughts, please reach out.
