First, I have followed the on line help to locate the video editor by right clicking on the video placeholder and I do not see the video editor. Can someone please help me locate video editor in storyline 2
Second
Is there a way to slow down the movements on a video. For example, I am using a video to show examples of where to click on a screen, but the mouse is moving way too fast, can I slow it down and if so, how???
What type of video is this that you've inserted? Have you done it as a Storyline screen recording or inserting a video file such as an MP4? If it's a regular video file you'll want to review this tutorial but based on your second question I think you're likely working with screen recordings, and the editing options are detailed here. There isn't a way to slow down the mouse movements that you conducted in a screen recording - so you may want to rerecord and move your mouse at a slower pace.
When you insert a video into a slides placeholder, you will want to right click on the video and select Edit Video. You can also find this in the Video Tools Options when the video is selected.
As far as slowing down the video, you may need to do this in a 3rd party video editing software, then import it into Storyline.
Another option is to use the screen record in the step by step option and have the slides automatically progress then you can adjust the timing of the steps.
The best method in editing and slowing down the video is to use the video editing software. I prefer to use the camtasia software and quality wise also it is best.

Great input, Chris! Way to leverage the tools that are built right into Storyline. :)
