Hi, I am currently evaluating Articulate Storyline to check it matches our requirements. I have created a quick example course by recording my screen and using the View step by step mode. Some of the recording sees me typing away on the screen.
I would like to fast forward the "typing" bits, as I'm not the fastest typist by far and it makes for tedious viewing, however I do not want to simply skip these either as seeing the text being typed is a really good effect.
To the best of my knowledge, there isn't a way to "speed up" the overall time of a screen recording and place it within a fast forward type of setting. The slide timing will reduce the overall duration on the slide itself and therefore remove part of the screen recording action - the same is true of using the action fine tuning within the screen recording to trim the video as shown here.
You are welcome to share your thoughts with our Product Development Team in the form of a feature request.
I guess I can "skip to the end" in these clips, to show what has been happening quickly. I will forward these to the development team though as I believe it could be a useful feature.
A very quick look in this forum showed a dozen or more of these and the stock 'You are welcome to share your thoughts with our Product Development Team in the form of a feature request. ' appears in most of them and many seem to indicate that they have done so.
Is this something that is under review? How can I add my vote for this?
If you absolutely have to speed up a section of a video, you need to edit it in a video program. Pull out the section in question, speed it up and paste it back in. LightBox will do it, and MovieMaker from Microsoft will do it, too.
Thanks for reaching out here. You can always post in the forums for things you'd like to see, but you can send in feature requests here as those go directly to our product development team for review and to determine if it'll be included in a future update or release.
We don't share information publicly in regards to where features stand or a timeline in regards to when updates or fixes will be released. You can follow along with our Facebook and Twitter pages to stay up to date and we'll also share in the forums once we have information to share.
Also would like this feature. The "other folks" folks already have this feature and it is just a matter of reducing the size of the bar in the timeline.
I love articulate, but this severely increases development time.
Your input is appreciated, Scott, and thanks for reaching out! If you have not already, you are welcome to share your sentiments with our Product Team directly by way of this form. :)
