What's the largest MP4 file size that can be imported into Storyline?
Good question! Storyline supports images, audio files, and videos up to 2 GB each. Keep in mind that media playback will also depend on the system resources and learners' bandwidth.
Hi. I am very happy to report that articulate tech support helped me solve the problem. It was communicated back to me from them that the largest storyline can handle is two gigs. Happily though, they provided an application to re-encode the videos called, “handbrake“. For example, it reduced a 3.6 gig video file down to 600 MB with virtually no loss in quality/resolution. Doing the happy dance right now. I have a couple more to insert in a project that are nearly 7 gigs.
Wow, Tim! I appreciate you circling back to share that using Handbrake helped.
And, you're right. After further consulting with our Engineers, Storyline supports images, audio files, and videos up to 2 GB each. I'll update my reply above to reflect this.
Here's to all the happy dances and knowledge cookies. 😊

If you hit a snag adding a video directly to Storyline, one option is to host the video externally and embed it into your course.
💬Out of curiosity, what size is your MP4 file?
