Is there a way to speed up video in storyline? I am creating a software tutorial and my screen recordinga are really painful because it takes so long for they typing. Can I speed up sections of the video so the viewer doesnt have to pull their hair out waiting for me to hunt and pack across the keyboard?
There isn't a method to speed the screen recording up with Storyline - you may want to look at exporting the video and changing it within another video editing tool.
A quick way is to import your video into Camtasia Studio, set speed to 150% or 200% and produce the video. try not to include the audio or the sound will also be pitched and sped up.
This thread is a bit older, and I'm not certain that folks are still subscribed - but I'm also unsure of your solution, so you may want to share a bit more information about what you're looking to set up or recommending.
Hi Ashley, I was hoping you might know of a solution. I think David's issue, and mine, is that we need to speed up portions of the videos from our screen casts on individual slides, the way we might do if we were using the non-linear editing functions in Flash, PremierePro or AfterEffects.
In all of these options the video is added to an internal library, and you're able to cut the clips and rearrange them on a timeline. This would be similar to our being able to rearrange the slides, as each slide within a step-by-step demo would be considered a clip.
Each clip segment references the original source video, but you can control aspects of each individual clip, such as the speed/duration, and other visual effects without changing the master source.
Is speeding the playback of a videoclip segment on a slide possible in Storyline 2?
I have added this to the feature request and told the sales folks about it. There is a competitor that speeds up the video simply by shortening the timeline bar. Storyline really needs to add the feature.
Thanks for chiming in. While it's not something you can currently do with Storyline's video editing features, perhaps someone will be able to share ideas of how you could accomplish this outside of Storyline!
I can certainly pass along the idea to our product development team! Here's an inside look at how we manage feature requests once we receive them. If this feature gets added to a future update of Storyline, I'll let you know. 🙂
Also, when you export a video and set it to its highest compression, it still gets compressed quite a bit. Is there a way to get a near lossless export? (I am using it for video tutorials for software and adding some captions in Storyline.)
You can turn off compression altogether for MP4 videos created with baseline, main, or high profiles. (All other videos will be compressed automatically.)
Select the video placeholder and go to the Options tab on the Storyline ribbon.
Click the Compression drop-down list and choose None.
If you turn off video compression, be aware that your published files will be larger, which could be problematic for learners with slow internet connections.
It would be a great feature if articulate would provide Playspeed option (1x,2x,3x) in player button so that student can learn more fastly or according to their capability of grasping things. so please pass on this feedback to your production team
Hi Ashley, would also like to see a play speed option as described by Himanshu. This is a request we've received from customers and I think it would be a nice feature to have available. Thanks!
While Storyline is awaiting this upgrade, here's what I currently do. I open the video here to slow it down: https://ezgif.com/
The downside is that you are unable to speed up or slow down just a portion of a video and leave the rest playing at normal speed. So, what I do is trim it to the part I need at a different speed before changing the speed. The downside is that I have multiple video files on my Storyline slide but it's the best easy workaround I have encountered at the moment.
Hope this helps all who are also waiting for additional/upgraded Storyline native video and audio editing capabilities.
As you can see in this discussion, adjusting the speed of a video is a request we've been following for quite some time! We've heard how impactful it would be in Storyline which is what we've shared with our team. This is a feature we are still tracking. We'll report back when we are ready to share an update!
Hey all, I just found a built in app in W10 called video editor that does exactly what we want, trim/crop/slow down/speed up/split/resize etc.. It's nothing fancy but works and saves the day.

Hi Kayneisha,
It's not currently possible in Storyline 2 - and you can see the video editing options and screen recording editing options available here.
It would be something you're welcome to share your thoughts on in the form of a feature request though!
I have added this to the feature request and told the sales folks about it. There is a competitor that speeds up the video simply by shortening the timeline bar. Storyline really needs to add the feature.
Thanks Scott for sharing your feedback in multiple avenues. If there is anything else we can assist with, please let us know.
Is there any update on this issue ? Need speed up few portion of course with the option like 1.0x.1.5x and 2.0x.
Please help
Hey Raju!

Hey Alyssa,
Thanks for the quick response.
I am not exactly looking for outside storyline options nor video editing feature.
Can we able to embed this option to video toolbar? so that we can opt different speed for different videos in each slide.
Guys, please suggest me some ideas!!

Hi!
This would definitely be a very nice feature.

Hi, Ashley Terwilliger and Alyssa Gomez

Happy to pass it along, Himanshu. Thanks for sharing your voice here.

Agreed. It seems to me that this should be a video editing feature.

Has there been any updates on adding preferential speed to the videos for the learner?
