You need a crank feature where you have to crank to play it but the speed of the crank effect the speed of the video

(1 edit)

this would be cool, honestly.

one of my favorite apps is Playroll for this reason.

i believe you've more or less implemented this already. the only hitch is there's no audio when you use the crank to advance a paused video.

an option with audio would take Playorama from great to incredible.

I need to check on Playroll. 

I wanted to implement this at first, but it resulted in a very stuttered audio. Stopping an image as soon as you stop cranking is not disturbing, but stopping the audio made for a very unenjoyable experience in my opinion. I guess the solution lies in having threshold so that the audio continues for a few milliseconds when you stop cranking (and the images as well).

Is it not possible to say effect the speed of sound

Like when you stop a record it slows down lowering the pitch before it goes quiet

i'm sure there are some things to be learned from other developers who have implemented this sort of thing in their apps.

PacoLabs, who has now made 3 apps for PD that feature this crank-controlled audio, would likely be willing to share some of their sorcery with you.
