# Origami AI Settings Overview: Configure Your Studio

> Customize AI models, TTS voices, API integrations, and general playback behavior—all configured locally from the Origami AI Settings panel.

To open Settings, click the **⚙️ Settings** icon in the app header. Settings are organized into five tabs: **General**, **TTS Model**, **WebLLM**, **API**, and **AI Prompt**. Every change takes effect immediately—no save button required.

## General Settings

Open **⚙️ Settings → General** to configure the following options that apply across your entire project.

### Intro Fade-In

* **Enable intro fade-in** — toggle the fade-in animation that plays at the start of your video.
* **Duration (seconds)** — set how long the fade-in lasts. Shorter values (0.3–0.5 s) feel snappy; longer values (1–2 s) create a cinematic opener.

### Post-Audio Delay

The post-audio delay adds a pause after each slide's narration finishes before the video advances to the next slide. The default is **0.5 seconds**. Increase this if your audience needs more time to absorb the final sentence on a slide; decrease it for a tighter, faster-paced video.

### Default Slide Transition

Choose how Origami AI animates between slides:

| Value   | Effect                                |
| ------- | ------------------------------------- |
| `none`  | Cut directly to the next slide        |
| `fade`  | Cross-dissolve between slides         |
| `slide` | Slide the next frame in from the side |
| `zoom`  | Zoom into the next slide              |

You can override the transition on individual slides inside the Slide Editor.

### Aspect Ratio

Set the default canvas dimensions for your video output:

| Ratio    | Best For                                  |
| -------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| **16:9** | Landscape presentations, YouTube, desktop |
| **9:16** | Vertical Shorts, TikTok, Reels            |
| **4:3**  | Classic slide decks, educational content  |
| **1:1**  | Square social posts, LinkedIn             |

### Screen Recording Options

The General tab also exposes screen recording controls, including a **countdown timer** toggle. Enable the countdown to give yourself a moment to prepare before capture begins.

### Preview Mode

Set **Preview Mode** to **modal** to watch a slide-by-slide playback of your project in a focused overlay before committing to a full render.
