Question

Change video speed and have closed captions

I have a simple javascript var myVideo = $('video');
myVideo[0].playbackRate = 0.5; connected to a button on a video in a multiple slide project with fluid boxed

s. The added javascript does indeed work and allow users to slow the video down. However, when a user clicks on show closed captions the closed captions are then off-sync with the video. How can I make it that the closed captions slow down/ speed back up depending on whether a user is playing the video at 0.5x or 1.0x?

OK I contacted Adobe and they said to see our Javascript specialist! Well, as the script is so simple, I tried to find the solution. I have this javascript working on slide video in a fluid box presentation. The simple solution was to make sure for the speed buttons that the "Continue playing the project" button was checked. The captions now sync correctly.
