Playback on Storyline seems to be in Fastforward!

Hi Benjamin and welcome to Heroes!

It sounds like you've got some odd behavior happening within your Storyline file, so first I'd want to check that your:

• Work on your local drive (your C: drive). Working on a network drive or a USB drive can cause erratic behavior, including file corruption, loss of audio, and other unexpected behavior. 
• You should also make sure the directory path to your project files and your published output is less than 260 characters (for example C:\Articulate).
• Avoid using special characters, accents or symbols in your file names (this includes spaces and underscores).

Also, if it's just this one file you may want to try importing it into a new project to see if that resolves any issues with your file. 

Let us know how it's behaving after checking into those two elements. 

I guess I didn't quite make my point clear. Sorry. How about this:

I am using screen record. After I am finished, I try to view/listen to the audio/video I just recorded. The video runs quite smoothly with the keystrokes or mouse movement, but this is where the audio is garbled. It plays back as if it is in a compressed/fast forward mode. If I try to insert it into a slide, it sounds the same on the slide - garbled and jumbled up.

Hi Benjamin,

Thanks for sharing the additional information, and I'd still suggest checking into the elements I mentioned. When conducting your screen recordings you'll also have the option to select a microphone, have you tried using a different microphone option to see if the behavior persists?
