People like things fast, if you are providing information they want it to be fast, valuable and to the point. How can we create this effect even if the video is a little bit longer than expected?
This is the question we asked when we came up with the Rapid Engage Bar. 🏎️💨
How it works:
The Rapid Engage Bar is a simulated seeking bar that starts off really fast, in order to hook your viewers' attention, since your video will seem shorter to them at the beginning.
Then, the bar gradually slows down closer to the actual speed of your video as it progresses.
Visually, this bar looks just like a regular seeking bar, so nothing changes visually for your viewers. But it behaves differently 😉
How to Set Up:
1. Access your Video Settings: Access your video library and select the video in question, click Edit and this will take you to your Video Settings.
2. Access Style Settings: Locate the Style tab and click to access these settings.
3. Enable Rapid Engage Bar: In the Style Settings locate under Controls locate the Engage Bar Settings and Toggle the Rapid Engage Bar on to enable on your video.
And you are done! As always remember to Publish your video for changes to take effect.
Note: This feature cannot be used with a regular seeking bar, as it takes its place. It will also remove the video time from the controls to avoid confusion. Rapid Engage Bar cannot be used with the ReVisit Seeking bar. And it will not allow your viewers to jump ahead in your video either.
