Replay Modify Frame Rate yet??
Greetings Heroes!
The only thread I can find on this topic was from 9 years ago w the Amazing Ashley T.
It seems in this world of HD and 4K, Replay still only has a "best" fps setting of 15?
Is this still the case? Any reason why, if so?
Thanks!

Hi Edward,
Thanks for reaching out!
- What type of videos are you looking to include in your project file?
I wanted to confirm that screencasts are recorded at 15 frames per second, and webcam videos are recorded at 25 fps in Replay 360.
Additionally, I'd like to share this fps information when importing video to Replay 360.
I hope this helps!
Hello Luciana:
Thank you for replying.
We are attempting to make the least blurry motion screen captures possible.
The app Camtasia does not allow for 15fps projects. Matching frame rate and resolution are keys in screen captures that are not blurry. Therefore, the 15fps Replay max for motion screen captures are not compatible meaning that there will intrinsically be issues. In fact, 25fps is pretty much a European video standard, while 29.97 (and variations) are more standard video resolution for U.S. (24fps for film).
Why is it that your developers have not upgraded this feature in 10 years? Just wondering. If you have any other information, it is appreciated.
Thank you!
I would also like an answer to why Articulate haven't improved this yet. The low fps in Replay makes it practically useless.
Short answer: Articulate almost never works on Storyline's functionality, regardless of how basic the problem is or how often the community requests it. You will have to use a third party option.
These forums are full of, without exaggeration, 10+ year old "Why is [extremely basic feature] broken in Storyline?" posts like this one that either get a canned "We're aware of your issue - deal with it!" response every few years or are simply ignored. Dark Mode, basic template/bullet formatting, and a number of other simple fixes have been requested for well over a decade with zero response. That is unfortunately the norm.
Hi BorgCube!
Happy to share some insight on this!
To concentrate resources on our most popular authoring apps, Rise 360 and Storyline 360, we are freezing feature development for Replay 360. That means we won't make any significant changes to Replay 360 going forward.
We'll still fix Replay 360 issues stemming from operating system upgrades and security vulnerabilities. Also, we're always happy to help when you have questions about creating training videos with Replay 360.
Please let me know if you need anything else!
Thanks. In that case, if I were you, I'd just delete the app entirely from the portfolio / launcher and save your devs the time to maintain it, as OBS is free and superior in every way.
Thank you for sharing these! As you probably know, there are better, and better-supported products now than Replay, including Techsmith's.
