User reviews
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.
