Screen Recording Action - Timing
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 ?

You can put it in video editing software and delete every other frame.
Thanks for your response Walt.
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 ?
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.
Hi Bhrugita,
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!
Dear Ashley,
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.
Thanks.
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!
Dear Crystal,
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.
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 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?
