Ability to change storyline play speed
hi there
I love the storyline package, it does pretty much what I want it to do save for one thing. We produce our material to go at a set speed but our material is very long. I want the option so that our audience can change the play speed like the following:
0.5x Speed
0.75x Speed
0.9x Speed
1x Speed
1.1x Speed
1.2x Speed
1.3x Speed
and so on until to 2x speed
this includes crunching/widening any audio/animation/etc timepoints automatically.
Storyline cannot do this, sorry
I am aware, no worries. I more posted this in the hopes that a member of staff would add it in at some point. The way online seminars are going this would be a fantastic feature for the future.
Hi Dara,
Thanks again for reaching out here, and I just wanted to connect it to this other thread where I've also shared the way in which you can send information directly to our product development team.
Bumping this thread. Has there been any update on using playback speed controls?
Hi Joshua,
We are currently tracking this request, but I do not have an update to share at this time. This conversation is attached to the report so that we can share updates with you.
I wanted to share some information about how we manage these feature requests as that may be helpful.
Thank you Leslie.
You guys do know that it is really demoralizing to get the canned response after waiting for FOUR YEARS, right? If you were really looking at it, it probably would have been updated long before this.
I have several threads here that we are just told... "Submit a request, and we will see what happens..." but nothing ever happens, other than I look towards the Adobe Captivate application a little more fondly, because it has the features.
I really like this application... but can't we get more support than that?
Hi Joshua,
I understand the frustration regarding feature requests that seem to go unnoticed but rest assured, we actively track every response in these discussions.
While we acknowledge this feature has been requested for years now, we're committed to making sure its impact and benefit come first.
I can appreciate the ability to have playback speed options, and I’m happy to advocate on your behalf with our team internally as we continue to prioritize features.
I would like to add my voice to this one as well. We need the ability to control the speed of the audio, video, and slide. I develop music content, and the workarounds are very time consuming if you need build things at different tempos. Rise has this already for video playback.
Yes, absolutely. We have a large project coming up, and our client (a Fortune 100 company) has a requirement that any e-learning must allow the user to control/adjust the speed. If Articulate cannot support this, we will need to use a competing tool. I suspect that if this client is requiring it, more and more companies will. I agree with the others in this thread. This is an immediately necessary enhancement.
This is one of the SINGLE MOST REQUESTED features by end users (and their clients). I would like to add my voice to this thread as well.
Can we see a timeline for Storyline features anywhere?
DVD players have had variable playback speeds for the last probably 15-20 years, podcasts have had it for well over a decade, YouTube has had playback speed options since 2010, LinkedIn Learning... I'm truly curious if the developers don't want to add this feature, or if they are unable to add this feature.
