Multimedia authoring tools can transform a multimedia presentation by converting its temporal and spatial layout into a multimedia document. Multimedia documents widely used are a multimedia programming language called Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL). The problem is the processing time of multimedia authoring, which takes time when creating multimedia documents. The process in multimedia authoring tools consists of editing, verification, modeling, and translation. This study proposes a novel framework by combining incrementality in the verification process and creating a new translation algorithm. Incrementality has a function to perform pre-verification in a short time on multimedia models, which can reduce the time required for verification using time computation and spatio-temporal verification. Experiments are conducted by inserting various media objects to determine a multimedia document's accuracy and processing time. The proposed framework successfully detects all given spatial and temporal overlaps. Based on experimental results, the time required to process verification using the proposed framework has reduced processing time by 77.81%. The framework studied in this research is to modify the verification process and increase the efficiency of the translation algorithm. Reducing processing time will make it easier for designers to create a multimedia presentation.
