Variable Playback Speed
We build our e-learning courses using Articulate Storyline. Recently, a number of our students have asked us if we can provide functionality of increasing the speed of the delivery, the provision t...
Hello Everyone!
I'm happy to share that we have released Storyline 360 version 72 (Build 3.72.29654.0).
Included in this release is a new feature where you can let learners explore at their own pace by choosing a course playback speed between 0.25x and 2x.
Now all you need to do is update Storyline 360 in your Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let us know if you have any questions by reaching out to our Support Engineers directly.
Have a great day!
On another post i mocked up a 'Starwars'-look-a-like intro. The text is set in perspective and with a GSAP timeline animated into the depth.

The buttons speedup or slowdown the timeline. Basically this is what should be available in Storyline itself. I didnot have time to dive into the base of Storyline code to get that done. But recreating ( and improving ) any timeline animation you have in Storyline with GSAP as seen here... is easy enough to do. Here you find all about GSAP timelines https://greensock.com/docs/v3/GSAP/gsap.timeline
And if anyone needs help recreating his/her SL timeline animation with GSAP just shout.
Attached the Starwars GSAP timeline.
Kind regards,

Math, this is really cool, thanks so much for sharing with us! Is it possible to adjust the speed of an audio file on the timeline as well?
Using Javascript...yes. The GSAP timeline as shown in the Starwars sample is not the Storyline timeline as is. Although i suspect Articulate uses GSAP to convert all the user done on the timeline to convert it to a GSAP timeline. The sample i show uses GSAP to do the animation..and as it is a true GSAP timeline it can be speed up, slowed down , paused, reversed and much much more. Adding video and/or audio with Javascript and GSAP also gives you control over the speed. If you have a Storyline sample setup... i gladly convert it to a GSAP version in Storyline to test and play with.
Math, thank you for your time spent laying this out for us. I checked out your coding (I know very little of JS and nothing of GSAP) and saved it for future. It looks like Green Sock has tutorials on GSAP. Thanks for the new knowledge.
