Hi All,

Is there any way to type in an exact slower speed to watch an .mp4 at in VLC Media Player and then save that slower speed for that .mp4 file?

Ex. You're watching an instructional video but the video recorded and the steps to perform a task are recorded so fast you need to slow the video down.

Is there a way to detect how slow that video has been slowed down to? It only seems to reveal that once I choose Slowest (not fine slower).

Related to that question is once I have a chosen slower sped can I save that .MP4 so it opens the next time at that slower speed?

Thank you.

1. Hit Ctrl + P to open Preferences and click All at the bottom to open the advanced menu.
2. Click Input/Codecs in the left hand pane.
3. In the right hand pane scroll down to Playback speed and make your adjustments in there.
4. Click Save, exit and restart vlc.

Hover the mouse over a setting to get a tooltip about each of them.

Hi Hitchhiker, I don't see Playback Speed as an option on my VLC 3.0.11

I did a screenshot in W1o but don't seem to ber permitted to paste it in or attach that screenshot here.

Thanks.

The version you have installed is two years old already. You should update to the latest version which is 3.0.17.4 https://www.videolan.org/
