Large Video file with high quality
Aug 28, 2020

I have a project I'm working that has a large video I would like to insert. The video was shot in 4k, is 20 minutes long, and is approximately 2 gb in size. I really do not want the video to compress, but when the video finally imports into the timeline, the option to disable compression is grayed out.
I've read that it has something to do with the video file being too large, so I cut the video into smaller sizes, but the video transition across slides looks awful as it takes a second to progress.
Any help would be MUCH appreciated!

As Max storysize is 2048 pixels you may as well shrink the video down. You also should consider your users as they would have to download the whole 2gb to view, over mobile that will kill a lot of peoples data allowance.
If you really do not want Storyline to touch the video compression at all, you could possibly replace the altered video with your original in the published output. You could also insert the video via a web object in which case Storyline will not try to compress it.
