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?
Just wanted to say I was able to use Philip Deer's suggestion above to achieve a sped-up video for a portion of a software demonstration. I only wanted one 19 second segment sped up, since 19 seconds of navigating back to home is boring. I cut that 19 second part out of my overall demonstration in replay and saved it as it's own file. Then I published to PDF just that portion, inserted the video into the gif maker, sped it up so it went from 19 seconds to 5, saved the gif and put it back into my original replay video as the shortened 5-second version in the same place where I cut the original 19 seconds out. Once I finish the replay video I'll publish it and insert it as a single video into my Rise course, thereby having 1 video with only the one section sped up. It took me less than 5 minutes to do, and I'll definitely be using it again! Thanks Philip!
This piece of Javascript speeds up all your videos. Or slows it down..depending on your code..
var videos =document.querySelectorAll('video'); for (var i=0;i<videos.length;i++) { videos[i].playbackRate = 5; }
Keep in mind though that DS-bootstrap on which Storyline is based has some limits on the amount of speeding up media-elements. I noticed using up to 15x works, and when trying to speed up to 25x you get a error-message from DS-bootstrap that your speed is too high ;-)
this feature has been requested 7 years ago. What's the current progress with that? Including this feature would greatly benefit the learners taking into consideration their different learning styles not to mention the fact that the play speed option seems to be an industry standard.
Please add my name to the list of people requesting the ability to speed up a video within Storyline. I found this thread as I have a video from the content library that I love, but the audio track is 28 seconds and the video takes 35 seconds to complete. I would've loved to be able to quicken the video a bit so it completes when I need it to, for narration.
I do think your specific case isnot something to solve in Storyline. If and when ( if ever ) Storyline will add speeding up video, audio and all timeline based elements, i'm afraid the only thing possible will be changing it to 1x, 2x, 4x, 10x times e.g the original speed. The precise duration change you want is easier and better to achieve in Adobe AfterEffects or Premiere.
I'm happy to share that we have released Storyline 360 version 65 (Build 3.65.28121.0) today!
Included in this release is an enhancement where all learners are enabled to interact with videos via accessible controls that match the modern player style, exceed color contrast guidelines, and communicate perfectly with screen readers. Learners can even change the playback speed, switch to full-screen mode, and use picture-in-picture mode to move videos to a floating window.

How is this still not a capability in Storyline??? Is it on the roadmap?
Hi John,
This is not on our immediate roadmap, but you can find our current roadmap here:

Hey Everyone! It's been 7+ years since the OG request... Any progress?
