Publishing video in Storyline
Aug 21, 2013
I am having problems with publishing a 2 minute movie trailer in Storyline and towards the end I have a hyperlink that fades in/out for people to click (yes I have made sure the hyperlink text box layer is above the video layer). I have tried 2 different file formats for the video (.wmv and .mp4).
After inserting the video and creating a hyperlink to appear towards the end of the video into Storyline and publishing for the Web I have had a few people test the trailer before placing it into a SharePoint site.
The results happen to be a couple people can view the video and 1 of the 2 people say the hyperlink appears when it should, whereas the other says that it appears throughout the credits of the trailer.
2 other people say that when they start the trailer all they get is a blank white screen.
Anyone know what the issue is?
Thanks in advance,
Adam

I'm curious - which browsers were the people using to test?
Hi, Adam:
Videos can be tricky. I'd suggest placing the project on wherever it's going to live (Sharepoint) and test from there. At least at that point, you'll get a better idea on the problems (if any) that most users are experiencing.--Daniel
IE 8
Ok, thanks Daniel...Currently we have been testing through a file path..I will test through SP.
I'm currently working on a video module for use in IE8 - my team had to use JW Player with an amended javascript file that would wrap the player in a flash player if played in IE8, therwise it would just show a blank screen where the video was supposed to play. In other browsers, like Chrome, Firefox, and IE9, it would work fine without the javascript file.
I'm not sure about your issue with the linked text box showing up at different times.
Video can be so tricky! I definitely had a ton of problems with this one.
Thanks Daniel! The video and timing of the hyperlink worked properly after testing it in SharePoint.
Thanks for the information S. Yu, I will have to keep that in mind.
Awesome Adam! Glad Daniel was able to help you out with this and thanks for the update!
