Request new feature: Smoothed playback dynamic acceleration Example : 1- set desired speed *e.g. x3 2- select starting speed *e.g. x1.5 3- % of video passed until desired speed is reach e.g. *60% Result: The video begins at x1.5 increases gradually as a function of time based on the duration of the video by 60%, speed had gradually increased from 1.5x to 3x in 0.01 stepsizes. e.g. at 60% of elapsed video duration it will be playbackRate = x1.5 + (x3 - x1.5) * (currentTime / duration) / 0.6 This formula means that the playback rate will start at x1.5 and increase linearly as a function of the current time divided by the duration of the video until it reaches 60% of the duration, where it will reach x3. This passive increase in cognitive load will lead to increased comprehension.
