heavier files in Storyline 360
Feb 11, 2021
Hi,
I need to create SCORM files that cannot exceed 20Mb for certain technical reasons.
Because of that, I take good care of optimizing images, videos and audios when uploading them in the Storyline document. But I am finding the following issues:
. Images that are very light jpg files are transformed to heavy PNG in the SCORM zip file (mobile folder inside the SCORM file). Why is that? Could I avoid that transformation?
. Some of the videos do not have active the button Compression = none. Probably due to codec related reasons. Is there a way to export the videos with the right codec so that the Copression button is active?
. Some mp3 show a much heavier weight in the Media Library than in my local PC. Why is that? Could I avoid that transformation?
Thanks for this community!!
Regards,
Rafa

What are your course quality settings in the Publish settings?

Hi Erin,
thanks for you answer.
I have tried different settings in the course quality settings but did not help to much.
I'm afraid I included to many questions on my previous mail. I am going to stick to one of the questions:
It seems that Storyline transforms the jpg to png when creating a SCORM zip file. That transformation means a huge increase in the size of the images, from a 60Kb jpg to a 700kb png.
Is there a way to prevent Storyline from doing that transformation from jpg to png?

Are you using any of the cropping tools within Storyline? The only time I've seen SL convert a jpg to png is when I've cropped it within SL.
OMG!! Your answer makes sense!!
Yes, I am using the cropping tool within Storyline.... I will try to check if that provokes the issue.
Thanks a lot for your answer, Erin.
