Playback speed increase?

<< < (2/2)

HPBEME:
You can find all of MC's keyboard shortcuts here: https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Keyboard_Hot-keys

As you will find there, holding the control key while pressing the right/left direction arrows, increases/decreases the playback speed.  Each successive arrow press cycles through 5X, 20X, 100X.  Press enter to return to normal playback. Note that fast playback is not smooth like it is when you use the Tempo slider bar in the DSP dialog (which maxes out at 3X) - also, there is no sound when using the keyboard shortcuts. The ability to fast-forward more quickly may be what you're looking for to begin with.

FYI, I don't use MC for movies much at all, so I wasn't familiar with what it could or could not do. I found all this out simply by looking in the wiki and experimenting... just a thought for problems you may encounter in the future.

Hi, thanks for this ... and yes I did look through the wiki keyboard shortcuts but didn't notice anything that would advance as in "pitch" with DSP ... still hope it can be added if it is not somewhere avaialbe already.
The "fast-forward" doesn't help as it's specifically for the sound that I wish to speed up the video when necessary (when there is slow narrating)

I also am looking for increase/decrease playback speed, which is what you get in DSP by adjusting Tempo. But Ctrl-Left/Right Arrow does not give me that. It skips forward and back. This is on MC30. Any further suggestions? I would dearly love to have that as a keyboard shortcut.

Edit: Oops, maybe I should have started a new thread. I'm wanting this with audio.

It's unfortunate that MC doesn't have this and devs appear uninterested to add it. Many apps, even those with much less capabilities, DO have this as a basic option by simply using modifier key + arrow, beyond me why MC doesn't.
PS ... the DSP "adjust tempo' asl only seems to adjust the sound, not really the overall playback speed (picture and sound).
Also silly that MC gives ability to slow down, but not to speed up!
