How do I change playback speed of scrub bar?

I've checked youtube and the manual and cannot find any information on how to change the playback speed of the scrub bar (not a clip). How can I have my video playback at like 25% or 50%? I've tried combinations of J K L keys with shift and ctrl etc but cant figure it out.

Resolve User Manual page 378.

I did try K+L once but it did not work. Manual I see, says K+L. I tried pressing the K and L keys together about 20 times and it either did nothing or advanced only 1 frame. I tried holding down K+L and it plays in slow motion, but unlike the other JKL commands, when I let up on the keys playback stops. This is not what I need. I need it to be able to play slowly so that I can do closed-captioning while video is playing back.

I know you said that you didn't want to change the speed of the clip, but I just tried doing some subtitles of a video by slowing the clip down so that I can keep up with the typing. It took minimal effort to stop after a little bit of time, change the clip speed to normal, then adjust the subtitles to fit the audio. If this doesn't work for you then I know of no other way than the k+l method.

Hello,

tested more than 20 times:

Playhead stopped, try :
Press the K key and leave it pressed
Then press L to go in after (unpress L stop) or J or go before or back (unpress J stop) :

reading speed at 50% when K leave pressed and (J or L)

while the procedure described "should work" i too often i get the "I'm arbitrarily only move the timeline a single frame" scenario and i don't know how it is triggered and how it is released.

I'm pretty sure his complaint is that he needs the footage to keep playing at 50% after he releases the k+L keys so that he can type on the keyboard while the video is playing slow.

You can set a temporarily different playback in the settings: if you're in a 30fps project, put 15 and you're constantly playing at 15fps

Good tip, that seems to work pretty well.

Just keep in mind that is you set faster than real-time (like in this example 60fps) the resolve software will compute 60 frames per second and throw away the ones that it cannot display.

Thanks! That will get help get me by I think.
