FAQ

Does switching Motion off remove the sounds too?

Motion covers zooms, cards and text on screen, with their sounds. The Sound effects stage is a separate switch.

Can I put one back?

Yes. Restore it from the Edits list, or undo the change.

Does a removed effect stay out of the export?

Yes. The preview and the export plan the effects with the same function, so the file matches what you see.

Can the chat turn them off?

Yes. Ask for "no zoom on the intro", or to turn sound effects off. Each request is one undo step.
