Hi Alec and Foliovision Team,
I really like the video slow down feature for my guitar lessons…I have gotten it to work well slowing down to 50% speed. When I click the “-” button once more, it pops up as 25% speed, but then the audio goes mute. Is there a way to slow down the video to 25% and still play the sound?
Thanks!
Devin

Hi Devin,
Thanks for reporting this, we are looking into it and will get back to you shortly.
Thanks,

Hi Devin,
I found out that this is actually a technical limitation of browsers. When a normal video is slowed down to 0.25, the frames must be shown a couple of times to create the slow effect. That’s ok for human eyes to have the illusion of slower motion, but the ears would recognize that a certain sound frequency is repeated and the result would sound really horrible. Thus the technical limitation.
Thanks,
Eduard
Hey Eduard,
I see, that makes sense. Too bad…it would be nice to get the audio down to 25%. In that case, is there any way to add a setting where I could remove the 25% step? Ideally, I’d like people to click the “-” and slow down to 75%, then another click to 50%, then any other clicks, it’ll just stay at 50% instead of going to 25% with no audio.
Thanks again,
Devin
Hi Devin,
Good point. We’ll have to discuss this inside our team and settle on the best possible solution.
Thanks,
Eduard
Sounds good, thanks!
Hey Eduard,
You probably already saw this but I just noticed one thing about the video slow down…it actually works in Safari…slows down to 25% and plays audio. It even works on my iPhone.
I guess it Chrome and Firefox don’t let the audio play at 25%. I haven’t done any other browser testing besides those three.
Thanks again,
Devin
Hi Devin,
Good point, I haven’t noticed it at first, but I tested it in Safari right now and you are right. Still doesn’t work on Chrome and Firefox, though.
Thanks,
Eduard
