Is there anyway I can speed up the time for a screen recording action ? So if the recording action time is 30 sec, is there anyway to speed it up to 15 sec ?
What i am looking for is to make the video look like its a fast forwarded video. Is there any other way of speeding it up rather than manually doing it ?
It looks like Walt and Erin have you covered here, but I did want to pop in as there isn't a feature within Storyline's video editing or screen recording fine tuning to speed up the playback, but it's certainly something worth sharing in the form of a feature request. Those go to our product development team and we're always interested to hear about new features or ideas you have that would make working with Articulate products easier and faster for you!
When I record a Try it or Demo, each slide is recorded in 31 seconds. I have tried to change the default because I need only 4 seconds. I have not been able to change this yet. Hence, I am editing the length of each slide one at a time. I have not been able to change the default settings. I used Fine Tuning, but it is very time consuming. I would like to change the settings so that I can record in fewer seconds per slide. Where should I go? I use Storyline 2.
Hi there, Claudia. You might see slides of varying length depending on the action, but 31 seconds sounds like a lot for every slide. If you can share your .story file with us, we can test it with your permission. It will be helpful to know whether you're recording a desktop program or a program on the web. If it's on the web, let us know which browser you're using. We'll delete your files when we're done troubleshooting!
Thanks so much for your support. I am recording Microsoft EndNote in my desktop. I am trying to find out whether I can share the .story file with you. Here at Gilead Science the privacy of our courses is very important. I change the time from 31 seconds to 3 or 5 manually. It was very time consuming. I am wondering whether there is any way to global changes to a simulation in this regard.
I see it has been discussed a year ago... any update towards speeding up the screen recording? I am wondering if that I am going to use a software like Windows Movie Maker (or similar), is there anyway I can export the screen recording into mp4?
Thank you Leslie for your video. However this option does not work. I am talking about screen recording shot in a specific slide, rather than the whole screen recording. I am looking for something like right-click for specfic shot to be converted to video ... as per the image previously posted. Thank you
Thank you for clarifying! We don't currently have a tool in Storyline 360 that speeds up video. As a workaround, I'd suggest exporting the videos and editing the speed in a video editing tool. Then you can import them back into the project using the Media Library. Here is more information on how to import assets into the Media Library.
Hi I want to understand the purpose of screen recording action object that shows in the timeline at the bottom. I am creating a show it video and i have inserted the slides step by step to edit each slide item.
can i hide the screen recording action in the timeline?
Great question! Which screen recording action are you looking to hide? Can you provide a screenshot of the object on the timeline you're needing to remove?

You can put it in video editing software and delete every other frame.
Thanks for your response Walt.

Drop it in Microsoft MovieMaker, and you can select a variety of speeds.
That's a great idea Walt, thank you. How would I export the video as an mp4 to Microsoft MovieMaker ?
I found this tutorial: https://community.articulate.com/articles/exporting-screen-recordings
The action fine tuning instructions seem to work best in SL2.

Dear Crystal,
Also, I upgraded the course from SL2 to SL3.
Understood, Claudia. We take privacy seriously, too. Feel free to request an NDA with our team here if necessary.
That does sound time-consuming. There isn't a way to make global changes to several slide timelines. Hopefully, we can help make this easier for you!

I don't know that MovieMaker (or its not quite so flexible successor Photos) can export in any format other than ,mp4, so yes.
If you are asking about going into MovieMaker, here is a list of the formats it will open:
Hello Amelie,
You can certainly export your screen recording if needed. I've attached the instructions below and here is a quick Peek 360 video as well:

Hi, thanks for replying Lauren. I have attached a screenshot highlighting the screen recording element.
Hello Rashmi!
The screen recording action is the movement that was recorded for that slide. If that isn't necessary, you can hide it from the timeline.
