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.

  • Can i slow down the music speed?

    how do i slow down the song speed while im listening to it, please help. =D

    What I usually do is set a marker for every beat. Then I can go back and edit my clips to the markers, and it syncs up with the music. Course it might be kind of hard to set 15 markers in one second...
    On the other hand, Capt. Mench's technique is definitely a good one. A fantastic one, actually. Markers would just be another method of doing it.
    (On a side note, that video is awesome, Captain. Especially using the brackets to trim. I never knew about that. Thanks for the tip, and thanks for posting it, David.)
    Good luck, B, and hope one of these methods works for you.

  • How can I slow down the music of my clip?

    How can I slow down the music of my clip?

    Try using the following code after each time you write to the TextArea.  I am assuming you are using a TextArea component and are trying to control the position of where it is scrolled to when it refreshes with the chat data.
    "ta" is the instance name of the TextArea
    ta.verticalScrollPosition = ta.maxVerticalScrollPosition;

  • How can I slow down the "Far far away" title?

    I want to slow down the title so I can read the information without extending the picture length.  Is this possible?

    1. Press the Crop button (seen on the top right bar where "reset all" is located)
    2. Change the "crop to fill" or "Ken Burns" to "FIT"
    3. Press the button that looks like a speed gauge on the top bar... press it and on there should be a label named "Speed"
          and next to it is a drop down menu... Use that to change the speed
         - Here you will see "Normal", "Slow", "Fast" and "Custom".
         - Choose either option
         - I recommend choosing "Custom" so that you are able to control the speed by a percentage interval
    If you have any questions, please reply!

  • I am trying to convert a video clip so that i can slow down the clip speed, but i keep getting an error -34.  any ideas?

    I am trying to convert a video clip, already in imovie so that I can slow down the clip speed, but I keep getting an error -34.  Any ideas?
    Thanks!

    Hi Russ,
    Thanks for your response. I am not an experienced user of FC or other video editing software but if its that hit and miss I think I will go to the trouble of finding some better software - I have a busy enough life as is, I don;t want to get into second guessing what a software problem might be!
    I have just successfully exported my video to a master file using one of the Apple codec options so it looks like it could be to do with the H.264 codec.  I am wondering if Apples Compressor software would solve this problem - the only way to try this it to buy it, there is not trial for the compressor app.  Any ideas?
    Thanks

  • How can I slow down my movie?

    Hi,
    I have created a logo using several objects. And they come one by one on my stage while playing. But these objects (which all are movie clips) coming too fast. How can I slow down them?
    Thanks.

    I have added more key frames but the speed is still fast. What is the next step to slow it down, please.
    Thanks.

  • HT1305 how can i turn down the fan rpm that's between the optical drive and hdd in my power mac g5 dual 2.3?

    how can i turn down the fan rpm that's between the optical drive and hdd in my power mac g5 dual 2.3?

    Ok, I saw that error in your logic. A Dual G5 2.3 or even a Dual Core 2.3 does NOT use LCS at all. Its air cooled and if anything if the OP is experiencing this problems could be due to possible heatsink paste drying up. He might have to re-apply MX 7 or Arctic Silver.
    The only G5's that use LCS are: G5 dual 2.5 from Late 2004, the G5 Dual 2.7 from Early 2005, and lastly the G5 Quad-Core from Late 2005-end of September 2006.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I shut down the start sound on my IMac under OS X 10.9.5

    How can I shut down the start sound on my IMac under OS X 10.9.5

    Did you try using 'mute' in the System Preferences> Sound> output>
    control panel? This usually will mute the startup sound; you may have
    to try a few things to be sure only the startup will mute, not all sounds.
    Of course, you could likely write an apple script in automator or in
    text edit, that could automatically mute before shutdown and then
    in startup items, have the script un-mute the audio for everything.
    There are possibilities that do not include the command line; but
    if you learn how to use that, without messing up other functions,
    then even more custom control is possible in Mac OS X.
    With that, you could write a substitute 'sound file' with white noise
    or nothing in there; so instead of Bong, it'd be as quiet as a mouse.
    PS: You may have a local reason why the site link posted above
    does not work for you, but it does function and if the product is
    free to use, and does not include adware or malware, here is an
    untested download link from their site. (I can go there, easily.)
    http://www.allvu.com/index.php/sndownloadpage.html
    and note:
    http://www.allvu.com/downloads/StartNinjaInstaller.dmg is the
    actual DL link for this product. Mouse over the buttons to see it.
    (The other downloads are highly suspect; even this one is to me)
    There may be a reason in your Mac OS X 10.9.x for gatekeeper
    to not allow odd download installations, there is a way around
    that feature, but I do not recommend using unknown software.
    In any event...
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • How can I "slow down" portions of a layer?

    I am modifying a composition template. It has only a few layers but four folders with numerous layers in each. I want to "slow down" the frames at certain points in the layer then resume normal speed. I am guessing that I can do this on the layer of the "top level timeline" without going into individual placeholders, etc., by manipulating frame rates somehow just for certain portions of the layer. This obviously results in a longer composition and that's another factor to consider.
    What is the best and easiest way to do this? I am hoping that there is another way besides frame freezing or holding. I am using AE CS4.
    With sincere thanks,
    Paul

  • 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.

  • Can I slow down the rate of movement at end of a Ken Burns?

    And can I bring up a still, then have the burns effect begin aftyer a second or so?

    John Kernan wrote:

    Just add the same photo with no KB effect before the photo that you are adding the KB effect to.
    Basically you will be adding the photo twice. one with the KB effect one without. The key is to make sure your KB effect starts at the same spot as the preceding image.... otherwise there could be a little jerk
    yes....
    To slow down the rate of a Ken Burns effect simply add more time that makes the movement much slower...

  • Is there a way to slow down the playback of video in Captivate 5?

    I just made several recordings (FMR) and would like to slow them down for the viewer.  The video was actually of someone else's software demo that moved way too fast.  On the Captivate skin there is "2x" to move the video twice as fast, but no "1/2x".  Is there another way to slow down the video?
    Thank you!

  • How do I slow down the music playback speed on iPod Touch 2nd Gen.?

    Hi everyone, I have an issue with my 2nd Gen. iPod Touch that I hope someone can help me figure out. I searched the forum here as well as the major search engines and couldn't find the needed information.
    My iPod Touch 2nd generation is playing the music back faster than it should. I have never had a problem with this before so this is new to me. I don't know if it makes a difference but I am using iTunes 12.1.1.4 and my iPod is model #MC086LL/A. It was working fine one day and then the next day all the songs seem like they are playing at 1 1/2 or 2 times their normal speed.
    I have tried re-syncing with iTunes but still nothing helps. Any help will be GREATLY appreciated.
    Thanks in advance, Ulterios  

    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.
