As you are reviewing the topic video, you can pause at any time and select Add current time next to a slide text bullet point so that it displays at that time stamp in the video. This way, you can ensure your text animation aligns with voice over.
When the video to the right plays as expected, select Slide 1: Generate video. This process may take a moment. Once the video has finished generating, navigate to the next slide in the topic from the view on the left and repeat the steps above to make edits to this slide.
