Question About Video Ratio Size with Storyline

Nov 08, 2023

Hello,

I'm about to start a project with many simulation-style videos imported. They likely will be at a 16:9 ratio, probably 1280/720.

Other slides will be laid out like a typical PowerPoint presentation.

Should I set my Slide Size to fit the aspect ratio of the videos? We would want the sims to take up the whole screen. Does doing so make the PP parts look strange?

Any suggestions are helpful. Thanks!

Hello Brian, 

Happy to help!

To address your inquiry, I recommend checking out this article:

Since you'll be working mostly with videos, we recommend matching the resolution of the videos as closely as possible with the slide size of your course to retain the quality. If the PowerPoint presentation that you will be importing has a different slide value, this will be adjusted to scale when imported to Storyline 360. If you prefer to retain the resolution of the PowerPoint slides, consider matching this value as well with the slide size of your Storyline 360 course. Here's an article on importing PowerPoint content for your reference.

Let me know if you have any questions!
