I try to have a very defined quality for some courses I create, but the results, even when I customize the size of my storyline project, are sometimes blurry or at least not enough defined to suit my needs. In comparison, Rise seems to be much more highly defined than storyline.
Is there any way to obtain the quality we can build in keynotes or powerpoint templates ? For the texts and effects.
Storyline works a little differently than Rise with regards to images and video, in that it tries to recompress to a quality that the software deems acceptable. This can often make your (already compressed to an extent) images appear blury as they are being re-compressed after modifying their properties one way or another (i.e. resizing, filters, or transparency within SL).
The only foolproof method of achieving better results is using higher DPI images (most are set at 75dpi, even HD ones - a good value is 150, a safe/great one is 300dpi). This will most likely safely forgive an additional recompress.
In addition to Alex's tips, I did want to share our article on using images and videos in Storyline. I hope this gives you some additional tips and info to consider with your designs.

Hi Christophe,
In addition to Alex's tips, I did want to share our article on using images and videos in Storyline. I hope this gives you some additional tips and info to consider with your designs.
Thank you all for your very interesting answers. I ll check in details.
My question is also on the visual quality of the texts . Not only pictures and vidéo.
Any tips to have Retina style rendering?
Hi Christophe,
By default, your Story Size will be 720x540.
If you are needing an HD quality, I'd set the size accordingly, which would be 1920x1080.
To prevent any scaling issues once published, I'd advise locking the player at optimal size as well.
Hope that helps :)
Thank you. Ill try locking the player to suit my needs.
Thank you.
