Inserting a video
Sep 22, 2011
I used Camtasia to create a video of screen navigation (~ 12 minutes in length). Due to company restraints, I must "publish" my video as a Windows Media File. The dimensions I used were 1024 x 768.
As I understand the process, Articulate does not support the .wmv format. I used Video Encoder to convert it to a .flv format. However, the maximum dimensions are 720 x 540 and as a result, my video quality is poor and too small.
Any suggestions?

Jane,
I sometimes use a media server to stream WMVs within Articulate, so I get what you're saying. You can add the video as a Web Object instead of Flash Movie. You just have to call the WMV from an HTML page that loads the Media Player--works great.

I'm new to Articulate and Storyline- can you either insert an i-movie into a ppt that will be published in articulate or storyline or can I publish an i-movie file through articulate?
Hi Stephanie, welcome to Heroes!
Here's a list of compatible video formats for Storyline, as well as how to insert them.
And here's the same for Presenter.
Let us know if that helps answer your question, or if you have any others. Thanks, and welcome again
I understand Storyline accepts MP4 videos with no problems. However, what resolution / bitrate would you consider ideal in terms of minimum file size and best quality, for both wide and 4:3 projects? I usually create intros using After Effects, so I can pretty much render in any specification.
Thanks in advance.
I suggest you use the same resolution 720 X 540 in Camtasia when creating the video.
HI!
I am new to Storyline. I am trying to insert a recorded webinar video into Storyline so I can upload it into my LMS and have it tracked. I followed the instructions and it is a windows media file, but I keep getting an error to update my Windows Media Player and Flash Player. I just updated everything and it still isnt working. Any ideas?
Thanks!
