Converted mp3 to mp4, but cannot imsert it
Jul 17, 2014
Hello,
I am using a custom player that does not allow me to use the usual seekbar. The player's developer has devised a way to insert an audio file as an mp4 (h.264) video file, size it so that the video controls are visible and can be placed onto the screen. Very clever.
My issue is that I have many mp3 audio files for the 10 courses on this project. I have converted (transcoded) them to mp4 using Expression Encoder 4. They look like mp4 and are designated as mp4 in all the folders, but when trying to insert a file, Storyline displays a dialog box saying that the file "...does not appear to be a supported video format."
Any ideas? There are many downloadable converters, but I am a tad nervous about doing that unless someone can recommend one.

Hi Rick,
I know a lot of forum users recommend Format Factory for conversion, and I use Handbrake regularly which is another free one and works really well. I'd try using one of those, and let us know how it goes.
Ach, these do not seem to work either. Converting mp3 or wav to mp4 (h.264) seems to be beyond them, too.
MP4 is a video format so maybe you can use a tool like Camtasia to import your mp3 files and then publish using one of the mp4 video options.
Nancy, tried that, too. And add Movavi Video Converter to the list. Again, converting to mp4 h.264 seems to occur, but Storyline just will not recognized the format. Any chance I have something set wrong within Storyline?
do you have access to adobe media encoder?
Hi Kevin. I will give the trial a try. Thanks!
SUCCESS! Adobe Media Encoder converted the .wav and MP3 files to MP4 h.264 that Storyline recognizes easily.
Thanks to all of you who suggested tools to use. Most of them worked, but for some reason Storyline had trouble with them, but Adobe came through.
Thanks for the update Rick and glad you were able to find a method that worked.
