I am recording a video that includes typing. The actual time to type is 20 seconds. I would like to shorten the typing sequence to 5 seconds. When I right clicked on the screencast timeline I found Timing. I resuced the duration to 5 seconds, it showed a reduction to 5 seconds on the timeline, but when I prevew it still takes 20 seconds for the typing.
Unfortunately, that does not appear to solve my issue....
I need to type the following letters during the recording: zmob_empl_proj_sm30. As an exaggeration, it takes me 20 seconds to type those letters in the recording. what I would like to do is "speed up" the typing so that it is done in 5 seconds.
With your method of reducing the start or end of the timeline, I either see some of the letters already appearing & then the rest will be shown being typed....or the start of the letters are typed but the end letters are no longer shown....
I"ve attached a screenshot of where I need to enter the characters...
Sorry if I misunderstood - but 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.

Hi Mike,
Instead of adjust the overall duration on the timeline - have you looked into using the action fine tuning for your screen recording?
Morning Ashley
Thanks for the quick response

Thanks again for the timely response Ashley...
Does Storyline / Articulate have a site where I can post an enhancement suggestion.
Sure thing Mike - you can send feature request here to our product development team!
This is a big disadvantage to competing products. I hope articulate strongly considers a fix to this.
This is not yet a feature of Storyline, but you're welcome to follow the path Mike did in terms of submitting it as a feature request.
