Flash Video

Do you have the video set to advance automatically and/or do you have the slide set to advance automatically?

Hi Mark,

I'm having the same problem. My .5 minute video advances after 5 seconds. Anyone have a solution?

Thanks,

Larry

Mark and Larry, what is the file format of your video...SWF, FLV, or MP4?

I'm using FLV. However, I did solve the problem by starting the presentation over from scratch. Apparently there were some artifacts left from earlier development that were messing up the timing.

Thanks,

Larry

I keep having problems very similar what you all have stated above.  It is crazy, the software platform is not very stable.

These types of issues are typically caused by the either the source file of the video or the software tool you used to convert it to FLV, SWF, or MP4.  There are some software programs that will write the timecode information to the wrong part of the file.  So, Articulate basically has to look for the information at the end of the file which results is funky results.

I've also seen the issue occur with files that started as WMV or MPG and then were converted to another format.  Essentially, the codec that was originally used to encode the file was proprietary and would cause funky results when converted to another format.

Hi all,

Ok it is an old post but I was troubling around with the same problem in Articulate Storyline. I guess that the flash file (*.FLV) provided to me is too long. The solution I found without making any changes in the flash file is as follows:

- mark the flash file in the timeline with a left click

- right click on the file in the timeline to open the context menu

- disable "Show Until End"

- downsize the total display time by draging the end line left on the timeline

Hope it helps
