Adjusting Playback Speed of Individual Audiobooks

I just upgraded to a Touch. With my 60 GB Video I could adjust the playback speed for an individual audiobook file (M4B) by pressing the middle button of the click wheel and cycle through the title, picture, rating, playback speed, etc. How does one do that with the Touch? I've figured out how to set the default for Audiobooks in the settings but I can only rate books while listening.
Also, "Faster" with the touch sounds considerably "Faster" than with earlier iPods. Just my imagination?
Thanks.

Adjusting playback speed of clip selection

I have a 4 minute portion of video that I want to give a "fast forward" look to. It's boring if viewed in real time. How is this done? Also, why can't I find the search feature to see if anyone has already asked this? Thanks.

How do i adjust iTunes playback speed on my mac ?

How do i adjust iTunes playback speed on my mac (OSX 10.10.2) ?
I'd like to play podcasts at 1.5x, without running them through a separate script.

I have not see mention of any way in iTunes itself.
Changing playback speed in iTunes - https://discussions.apple.com/message/11432266 - primarily for audiobooks but if you read the whole thread there is mention of ways to do this with other media.
You can also look into stand-alone applications such as AmazingSlowDowner.

HT3176 How can the slow motion playback speed be adjusted on Apple TV (pause and clicking right/left)?

I am looking to adjust the paused slow motion playback speed of Apple TV. On one of my Apple Tv's when paused I can click right or left to view tv in frame advance (or one second advance) on a different Apple TV there does not appear to be any advance even after multiple clicks. But, it will jump 10 seconds when paused and left or right is held down as it should.

Unfortunately with that speed you are not going to have a good experience with HD streaming. I would make sure everything is set to stream SD. Go into the settings - iTunes Store and you can switch there for any purchases/rentals made through them.
If you use Netflix (or other streaming sites) go into your account(s) and see if you can switch to a lower quality stream. I know Netflix has that in place.

Is there a way to adjust the speed of podcast playback in iOS 5?

In earlier versions of its, I could play podcasts at normal speed, half speeder double speed. As I listen to many podcasts, I enjoyed the ability to listen in the faster mode to save time. Now, after upgrading my iPad to iOS 5, it sounds like all audio podcasts are playing in only a slowed down mode with no control to adjust the speed that was found in earlier versions. I mean, I even have this control in my first generation iPod touch!
Am I missing something or was something left out of iOS 5?

From every thread that I have read about this - and there have been plenty of them - I have not seen a definitive answer on this. The feature seems to be missing from the iPad as bizarre as that may seem. I know that I cannot find it.

How can I slow down the playback speed of selected parts of a captivate video?

Hi everybody,
I'm pretty new to Captivate and although it offers some great tools, there is something that I just can't get to work:
I'm creating a video tutorial about how to use a website i'm working with so I've tried using "Automatic" ("Demo" mode chosen) recording option which is recommended for this type of video. However, the video recorded has a different playback speed than the amount of time I recorded. This means that some of the slides have a quicker playback speed than the way I recorded, thereby not leaving enough time to show the given feature.
The recording mode with the most "true" playback was "Full motion". However, I would still like to be able to slow down selected parts of the video, but can only find guides on how to slow down the entire presentation.
Can you please advise me on how to slow down only selected parts of the project? If this is not possible in Captivate, please advise me on which video editing software (where you can slow down the playback speed on selected parts of the video) is compatible with Captivate 5?
Thanks!

Thank you. Andrew Kramer's Video Copilot video, which I somehow managed to miss, was very helpful.
I had a 79 second clip which I precomposed and enabled time remapping. But I have 12 places where I need to slow down the layer. After a while, I was runing out of room to add more keyframes using the method promoted in many videos and instruction sites (grab the last two keyframes, including the end frame, and drag).
In reality, you can add keyframes wherever you like and you can adjust them however works best within the existing timeline without messing with the duration, etc.
Much appreciated.

How do i change the speed of an audiobook on the iPad. (iOS 5)

If i start a audiobook on the iPad 2 it is played in double speed. I cant find a way to change this.

There used to be a playback speed on the right below the scrubber bar but I can't find it on iPad iOS 5.
If you look at the iOS 5 manual for the iPod Touch the playback speed setting is still there, I don't know why it isn't available on iPad. I am also missing some other options on iPad iOS 5 which I used on iOS 4 and liked, for example, viewing the podcast info and viewing which podcasts I've played or partially played.
Sorry I can't help but I think there are some features that have been disabled on iPad iOS 5 which shouldn't have been disabled.

Any way to change playback speed on 3g?

I've seen where you can change the mini playback speed with audiobooks, but I'd like to be able to change the speed when listening to podcasts on my 3g ipod. Can it be done? Thanks

No, this is not possible with podcasts.

Quicktime 7 streaming playback speed problems.

Hello,
I am currently using QT 7.6.6 to stream asx/asf video files. As these files are lectures, I like to watch them between 1.5X and 2X. When I adjust the playback speed, the load speed stays the same. As a result, after less than a minute my playback stutters. Is there a way to have the stream load faster, so that I won't have to wait 20 minutes for enough of the file to load before I start my faster playback?
Thanks for all the help.

Having just updated my G4 with the new QuickTime 7.5.5, I can say that this fixed the problem I have been having- hoorah!
I appreciate the response from Sig, although I still can't seem to find the QT discussions page from the discussions home page on the Apple site, which is why I posted the problem on the Tiger page.

QT7 Playback Speed

The audio playback speed setting in QT7 is a manual slider. I have been unable to discover either a keyboard shortcut or a menu setting that would allow one to precisely set the playback speed/pitch of an audio file (e.g. decrease speed by 10%). I have also noted that pitch changes cause stuttering in mp3 fiiles. This is critical because I am using QT/ iTunes for dance teaching and like to slow down the music at first. I used to do this with a variable speed cassette deck but was hoping to do it with QT. Would QT7 Pro help here?
Thanks for any secret keyboard shortcuts or advice.

The additional audio controls appear when you are playing music and tap the now playing screen.
The additional audiobook and podcast controls when you are playing _an audiobook or podcast_ and tap the now playing screen.
In either case, tapping the screen while the additional controls are showing will hide them.

Controlling Playback Speed on iPod Mini

I am using iPod to listen to some language lessons (these are not audiobooks, but merely a copy from a language CD uploaded to iTunes+iPod). Unfortunately, the lessons feature dialogs that are way too fast and I would like to slow them down. Is there a way to slow down the playback speed of a song on iPod?

Do the songs play OK in iTunes on the computer?
If so
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

How do I re-set the playback speed of an iPod_2?

I listen to audiobooks and recently the playback speed has gotten much much faster. My sister told me how she fixes the problem on an older iPod, but this one does not have the same settings.
I've looked at all the settings and cannot find the way to do this. And my Apple support has run out.
Has anyone else had and solved this problem?

Sharon, I think everyone has come across this issue at one time or another. It's really a simple matter to fix. Simply tap once on the screen so that you can see the "scrub bar" that allows you to navigate to different spots in your audiobook. Just below the right-hand side of that scrub bar you should see a little box that probably says 2X right now. Tap it until you get it to say 1X and you should be good to go.

User control of the playback speed of an eLearning

Is there any way for the user to adjust the speed of an eLearning? T...he question has to do with accessibility requirements. If a user needs to slow down or up the playback speed similar to how you may adapt volume - can that be done in a Captivate project? Thanking you in advance!

Thanks! I totally agree.
We already use interactive objects to allow users to move forward at their own pace. Yet this was a specific request and I could not find anything supporting it in Captivate. Therefore I wanted to double-check with the community.

Playback speed in Sample Editor window many, many times faster than track (at correct speed) in arrange area. How do I sync Sample Editor playback speed to correct speed/tempo in arrange area? Track is spoken word.

Playback speed in Sample Editor window many, many times faster than track (at correct speed) in arrange area. How do I sync Sample Editor playback speed to correct speed/tempo in arrange area? Track is spoken word. Sample Editor playback sounds like Alvin on a meth binge. Spoken phrase is generated from Textspeech. Textspeech can export files as WAV files or MP3 files. Perhaps a clue?: When exported Textspeech WAV file is dragged and dropped into track in arrange area of new project, it exhibits same supersonic speed. When Textspeech file is exported as MP3 file and dragged and dropped in arrange area track, it plays at correct speed.

Thanks Erik,
If nothing else, this huge list of updates and fixes, shows clearly that the Logic Dev team is working hard on fixing and improving LPX to a major degree.... and from the list of fixes done.. show they do read the bug reports submitted!
As an aside....
I recall how all the 'naysayers' prior to LPX (and in some cases, since...) were proclaiming how Logic was dead, the team was being disbanded, we won't see any further development, the Dev team doesn't listen or care... and so on....... I wonder where those people are now?

Playback speeds up intermittently on first scene when played after build

Hi
I have a problem with playback on apple dvd player after completing the build? When I play the authored project on apple dvd player after the build, after clicking on the play button in the main menu, the first scene (about 1 min. long) playback speeds up intermittently-normal speed then fast for a second then normal then fast-jumpy I guess might describe it. This only happens on the first scene with all the other scenes after this point in the timeline playing fine. I placed 2 new clips (different assets-scenes) to replace the first scene & the same issue happens with different asset clips being used in the same position (first) in the track timeline.
The scenes I used are pans of a running deer, which play fine anywhere else in the track timeline except the first position. When I play the project it's fine in simulator mode & in the project itself...this only happens after the build when playing on apple dvd player from VIDEO_TS folder. This is a test project for some footage so it's only 10 minutes long with bit rates at 5-6 ave. & 6-7.4 max.
-2 pass VBR-best motion.
Any ideas on what is going on?
I'm using DVDSP 2 with Jaguar 10.2.8.
Thanks for any help.
Della

Della:
Not a clue about the problem, sorry, but can "imagine" a workaround just to fool the problem.
You must have a PLAY button that connect to that first scene (first chapter in the track, I guess). If you connect that button to the second chapter (just to try) that plays fine or again behaves as it was first?
If that way plays fine, you can add a "false" first scene (i.e. one second of black exported from FCP) and connect the PLAY button to the real first (now second in the track) chapter.
I told you, it's just a workaround to have in hand in case your dead line gets close!!
