What is Asset Duration?
Asset duration controls how long text, graphic, or a media sticker appears on your video content. This can be great for TikToks or Reels, better storytelling, and keeping content fresh.

- Select either 'text' or 'graphics' for the correlating media category you would like to edit, and slide the handles of the media in the timeline view at the bottom of the screen to control when your asset will be seen
