I am wondering about assets in the Storyline. When you imported 10 mp3 files, and 6 out of 10 mp3 files are going to be used in more than 1 slide. When you copy and paste those, does Storyline create instances out of those 6 mp3 files? or does it just referred to those 6 mp3 files? From my experiences, it looks like Storyline is creating new instances. My assumption is from the more increasing file size. Can anyone shed some lights on this ? Thank you.
If I am understanding your question correctly, it should not create a new item for the published output, but it will increase the file size, as it is creating a new item on the slides when you paste it. Hope that helps!
When you copy and paste an item (e.g., text box, video, etc), isn't that Storyline create new instance name? Would that mean when we publish the course, it will also create two items of the same?
Hi, Ben - I think I understand a little more clearly what you are asking now. So ok, yes, when you copy/paste a video, it will create duplicates in the published output, which can be found in the story-content folder. But, please note that the videos are compressed, so that will help with the published output size.
