Video file size limitations

Jan 11, 2012

By B K

I am sure this has been answered before, but I have searched and cannot find the answer.

We are in the process of creating an Articulate file and want to insert several video files. What are the file size limitations of a video that is inserted into an Articulate file. So far in the past we have not run into an issue but these videos may be much longer than normal.

I am aware of the file types that are supported by Articulate but pending on size I may have to develop several files to incorporate all of the training videos.

Any help or thoughts on sizing issues?

Hi BK!

Have a look at this older thread discussing the insertion of a 60-minute video, and all the ideas David Anderson has for the user:

Let us know if that gives you a good idea of what your options are. Thanks!

I'm unable to insert an MP4 video that is 2.15GB....it tells me it's not support???

Pardon the pun, but it's not the video length but instead the file size that should questioned? does the file size matter??

Hey George,

2.15GB seems a bit big, maybe Storyline has a size limit for video.

Also, maybe try renaming your video to eliminate that space between HD and Police.

P.S: You're lucky I helped you with that ugly picture beside your name.
