How can I determine what makes my storyline 3 project so big?
I have tried several things, looked at my slide master, only the one I use is in. The movies (not embedded) within or without still the project is big. The publish quality set at poor, but almost no difference with standard quality. I have deleted unused screen records, no issue.
Where can I see what makes the file so big? Something is hidden for me, where I have no notice from. Do you have any suggestions for me to increase the size of my file project, please let me know.
I've seen this happen before when I added movies and then deleted a few of them. File size did not get smaller even when I removed some the mp4 files. What I did is copy all the slides (without movies) in a new project and then just added the movies I wanted.
Jet not with the .story file, but only surprised that (as I suppose likely the same) project is much bigger than usually. So the SCORM zip file is also too big, because that is what I will use for my LMS in moodle and the upload gives an error, too big for the server. Despite the maximum size.
SCORM zip packet is 146.416 Kb and the .story file is 137.815 Kb. Normally it was half the size of it. So I don't understand why. I started again, fresh, on a new project, only changed the size of the window, instead of scale 4:3 I choose for 16:9 that should not be the difference I guess. Maybe I have to start again now a new project to see where it comes from?

for the scorm package:
video: don't use "adaptive" publish setting - this needs 2x the size of "static" (without better quality)
images:
you can see, where the problem with the image size is -> publish to web
./published folder/mobile/ *
* do not be confused by the name
That is the problem indeed, by saving it remembers the deleted videos, so I started all over and tried it out. Thanks!
Thanks, but I cannot find this issue for storyline 3, the adaptive or static, where is that?
Your welcome, SL should really fix this issue as it makes your SL files sizes bloated.
adaptive video is only on SL 360
