Can you speed up the player in Articulate 360?
I don't think this has been possible before, but can a user speed up the audio on the player in 360?
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!
I'd like to add to this from the perspective of the broadcast techs whom I'm creating technical training modules for - several of them have asked if I could make the ability to speed up the timeline available in my modules.
They tell me that they frequently use YouTube clips to learn about "stuff" and they use it as follows:
- They get used to the presenter's style and voice at 1X speed initially
- They speed up to 1.5X for a short while to adjust their attention
- They speed up to 2X speed for most of the clip once they've adjusted to 1.5X and continue at that speed for the remainder
- If they find they miss something they rewind and replay at 1X or 1.5X and then continue at 2X
I have actually made quite an effort (as a quick-speaking Kiwi) to slow down my narration and I use Animation to introduce each paragraph of text linked to my recorded delivery, and I've been at pains to ensure that learners can assimilate the speech and the text, but it seems that this doesn't suit everyone and some (perhaps more who haven't spoken to me yet) would really like the ability to control delivery speed in order to get through the simple / basic material quicker, yet concentrate on the more complex material at 1X speed.
I think this would be a very worthwhile feature to add to Storyline if it's feasible.
Thankyou!
I do the exact same thing with most videos i see online ( except for Netflix ;-) So i do think better control of audio, video and the Storyline timeline is needed. In fact as Articulate updated to GSAP 3.5.1 and im almost 100% sure they use GSAP code behind the scenes for all animation in Storyline ( suspecting they use GSAP timelines for the Storyline timeline ) it shouldnot be difficult to give users the possibilities GSAP timelines have. Thus speeding up and slowing down complete Storyline timelines.
Here you find the GSAP timeline documentation.
https://greensock.com/docs/v3/GSAP/Timeline
This GSAP parameter speeds down any given timeline to 0.1% of normal.gsap.to(myStorylineTimeline, {duration:2,timeScale:0.1, ease:power1.easeIn});
This line of code sets it to normal speed.gsap.to(myStorylineTimeline, {duration:2,timeScale:1, ease:power1.easeIn});
And now we speed it up 4 times as fast...gsap.to(myStorylineTimeline, {duration:2,timeScale:4, ease:power1.easeIn});Only thing we need to know, is how to access Storyline's internal timelines.
