Export trimmed video segments from Storyline into PPT

Feb 15, 2013

I have a 20-minute .wmv file that I trimmed into segments and placed throughout a course. I need to create a PPT from this course for the team that is using it, but I cannot figure out how to bring over the trimmed videos into PPT. Is there a way to export or save each trimmed segment?

Thanks!!

Hi Maggie. Welcome to E-Learning Heroes!

Unfortunately, there is no way to export a single video from Storyline. However, there may be a few options for you. Are you using PowerPoint by itself, or do you have access to Articulate Presenter? If you don't have Presenter, you may want to consider taking advantage of the free trial.

One option would be to insert the Storyline course into Presenter/PowerPoint as a web object. You could create a course in Storyline that contains only the slide or slides with your .WMV video and insert it into the presentation. Take a look at this knowledge base article for more information on this method. 

Another option would be to use Presenter and create a screen recording of the WMV video for the presentation. 

Alternatively, you could use another third party recording software and do something similar to the last suggestion. Create a recording of the video and insert it as a video into PowerPoint.

I hope these suggestions are helpful Let me know how it turns out!

Hi Jeannine and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :) 

Looks like the link went to another website, so I will not be able to help you out with that. I do know that Jerson is still active in the forums, so perhaps you can reach out to the user directly via the 'Contact Me' option on the user profile if you do not hear back soon.

Hey Jeannine,  was the video imported into Storyline 2 or was it a screen recording?  If it was originally imported, follow these steps.

  1. Make a copy of the Storyline 2 file
  2. Rename the file extension to .zip
  3. Unzip the file
  4. Look for a media folder in the extracted file. You should find the movie file in there.  It will be named something different, but just filter by file type and it will make it easier to find.

Hi Nicole,

Happy to help here! Here's how you insert a video into Storyline 360.

  1. In Slide View, go to the Insert tab on the ribbon, click the Video drop-down arrow, and choose Video from File.
  2. Browse to the video you want to use and click Open.

Be sure to review the user guide on what file formats are supported, and let me know if you have any specific questions in mind!
