Difficulty previewing my entire project

Hi Katharine,

Thanks for sharing that info, it can be quite frustrating to preview your hard work and have the output not turn out as you intended. Regarding your video issue, what type of video are you adding to your content and how are you trying to preview the videos?

Be sure that you are publishing and sharing the content as explained here.

There are two methods for inserting YouTube videos into Articulate content. 

Both methods are supported in HTML5, Flash, and Articulate Mobile Player output, though some optional parameters will not for iPad because they only work in Flash output. 

Web videos and Web objects can't be previewed. You'll need to publish your quiz to see your YouTube video.

Hi Renz

Thank you or your reply, I have checked the publish steps and have followed these correctly. The videos I have added to each slide are MP4 Video files and previewing the slides using the preview drop down in the HOME tab.

I did enlarge the video so that it covered the whole of the slide (without having any white showing) so that it looked like a background image rather than a video that has been dropped in - could that maybe be part of the reason why I'm having issues?

Each video file ranges from 253kb up to 4013kb.

Hi Katharine!  Are you able to share your file here for me to test?  If you think it might be due to the size of your course with all media considered, is there any difference if you cut half the slides for testing?

Let me know what you think - you can use the Add Attachment button in your post if you can share your .story file.

Thank you Crystal. I have attached the project

I have tried saving the project in different locations and as different types (LMS and web) but that hasn't helped.

So anything you can do to fix/help would be great. Ideally I want to keep the background videos as they are but worst comes to worse I could revert to statics

Thank you 

Hi Katharine

I opened your file and published to LMS - no problems.

Here is the zipped LMS output file

Hi Wendy

Thank you - Did it play ok, once you opened the published project? I have been able to publish with ease I just cant get the published project to play.

Oh sorry Katharine

I misread - I thought you couldn't publish.  You're right, I've tried publishing and viewing locally and also uploaded to Scormcloud - just get the spinning wheel both cases.

Sorry I couldn't be more help. Good luck!

Hi Katharine,

We want to help you get to the bottom of this as soon as possible, so I've shared your file with our Support Engineers. They'll take a closer look and reach out to you via email soon.

Hi Everyone,

I have a similar issue. When I try to preview my entire project. It takes forever. I have to literally save and close storyline, open it again and then preview entire project that's when it works. This eats up lot of productive time. How can I fix this issue?

Hi Manisha

have you tried creating a new project file and importing your current file in?

Hey Manisha,

Looks like Wendy has you covered here, but I wanted to share the documentation in case it was needed by you or anyone following along.
