About teaching speed

Hello! I'm on treehouse since three weeks and it has been a very good experience, with a lot of learning. As request, I would like to ask for some consideration to no native english speakers, like me. The easiest way to achieve this, I think, is by adding an optional 0.8(i.e) speed factor button to video classes. Thanks!

And also please add sub-title to the video itself....

Thanks!

Joseph Raj - The videos all have subtitles, they take time to process so they usually are added about a week after the video goes live. Or did I misunderstand something and that's not what you meant?

subtitles are in the page but not appears in the videos (browser) for that I have to download the videos and subtitles and view it in vlc media player.... Thanks!

I agree there should be speed controls on the videos, both for slowing down and speeding up.

Sergio, in the mean time if you use Firefox (possibly other browsers support this as well):

  • Under the "Download" section on the right side of the video pages, right click on either standard or high definition video and select open in a new tab or window.
  • Once the video appears, right click anywhere within the video frame and go to play speed > slow motion (0.5x) or any other speed you want.

It's irritating to have to open every video twice basically, but it works. I hope it helps!

You can also download entire courses via iTunes and use the speed controls there.

Yes, I'll try to find a solution via Browser. Thanks for the advise Jakob.
