original assets

Feb 06, 2014

Is there a way to use the original assets in the HTML5 output?

The files generated by Storyline aren't always good enough on their highest settings.

Videos are too compressed (mp4). There are a lot a visible compression artefacts.

When we use animated gifs, the framerate becomes a lot slower. Also, the number of times the animation repeats isn't always correct.

If we'd have the option to use the original sources and spent some time on manually optimizing them towards the highest quality at the lowest file size, I believe the result would be a lot better.

Hi Koen and welcome to Heroes! 

As you'll see described here, Storyline compresses videos so you'd get the highest possible quality at the lowest possible file size.  If you'd like to keep the original video quality, you may want to review this screenr by Mike Enders, although please keep in mind it is not a supported method.
