This is achieved by setting the playback velocity to a value higher or lower than normal playback speed. The default playback velocity is 100. Values above 100 and below 0 correspond to fast forward and rewind respectively, while values 1 to 99 represent slow-motioned playback. </p> <p> <b>Note:</b> This functionality is dependent on the capabilities of the underlying play-controller implementation and the characteristics of the video clip. </p> </section> <section><title>Using Playback Velocity </title> <p>The following tasks are covered in this tutorial: </p> <ul><li id="GUID-FB5CC1B8-9BE8-5382-81C7-49D9269B7DEB"><p><xref href="GUID-70B3881F-9532-5F1D-B210-99A15DB93FC2.dita#GUID-70B3881F-9532-5F1D-B210-99A15DB93FC2/GUID-744097F7-7679-5309-98BC-C1FB6442B43B">Fast Forward and Rewind a Video Clip</xref>  </p> </li> </ul> <p id="GUID-744097F7-7679-5309-98BC-C1FB6442B43B"><b>Basic Procedure</b> </p> <p>The high level steps to fast forward and rewind a video clip are shown here: </p> <ol id="GUID-41F59ED3-3585-5688-AB8F-360C59508B27"><li id="GUID-9B1EC0AC-441D-5DF1-8E7D-BF6F79DBE8B7"><p>Create a new video player utility object. </p> </li> <li id="GUID-94EBEFAD-7C5E-5214-B7C9-A4E60D97CC73"><p>Open a video clip to play. </p> </li> <li id="GUID-BD33FE51-7723-5D3D-A2B4-79FEBA6CEDE8"><p>Use <xref href="GUID-0F1F8AC6-B99F-3274-A785-9977197AF762.dita#GUID-0F1F8AC6-B99F-3274-A785-9977197AF762/GUID-45F4B0E5-2EF4-3391-A925-DD31C9E997F6"><apiname>CVideoPlayerUtility::GetPlayRateCapabilitiesL()</apiname></xref> to check the current forward and rewind capabilities. </p> </li> <li id="GUID-56D7CAB6-207C-56D0-B846-F0F0BBEDAF23"><p>Call the <xref href="GUID-0F1F8AC6-B99F-3274-A785-9977197AF762.dita#GUID-0F1F8AC6-B99F-3274-A785-9977197AF762/GUID-B4FB00AA-A85B-3A3F-91BE-C5347462BA95"><apiname>CVideoPlayerUtility::Prepare()</apiname></xref> method. </p> </li> <li id="GUID-B2D54F6F-7BB9-5207-BB02-AAB67941B1BD"><p>Call <xref href="GUID-0F1F8AC6-B99F-3274-A785-9977197AF762.dita#GUID-0F1F8AC6-B99F-3274-A785-9977197AF762/GUID-A9DCC4EB-B4B3-3AF4-B78C-DC3531A32DCC"><apiname>CVideoPlayerUtility::Play()</apiname></xref> to start playback. </p> </li> <li id="GUID-7DB0514F-3C2F-5308-8206-E0A7EFF81EDE"><p>The default playback velocity is 100.
