Storyline 1 Articulate Storyline doesn't currently support exporting videos that were previously imported. However, if you no longer have the source video files and need to recover copies of them, do the following:..."
1. Make a copy of your .story project file. 2. Rename the backup project file from .story to .zip (you may have to enable "View file extensions" in Windows if it's not already enabled) 3. Extract the zip file. 4. Within the extracted folder, your video files should be in the story/media/ subfolder. If not there, just search the entire folder for mp4.
Let me know if you need any more detail on any of these steps.
Yeah, that's a way, thanks. I ended up just getting them from the published folder though because it was easiest. I couldn't notice any quality difference, does sl process them when it imports the files or publishes?
Could also copy the videos into ppt and save them out that way too I guess.
I believe that's the only other place you will find the media files. Articulate support would have to answer that one, as I'm not sure if any processing is done during initial import.

Hi Bruce,
Yes, looks like you've found the correct documentation.
You can export screen recordings from Storyline, but if you are looking to grab imported videos the documentation you referenced, full article here, is correct.
You can also extract the video files directly from the .story file, which saves any potential quality loss during the publishing process.
How? That's what I was looking for really but I couldn't find any options then the documentation suggested that's not a thing.

You are a lifesaver! Thanks!
