I need to sync some sentences with audio and then publish as video (WMV, AVI, etc). Does any Articulate product have the capacity of saving as/publishing video (NOT flash)? Something like Powerpoint's "save as video" option? I can do it with Powerpoint but it lacks Articulate's timeline, which makes syncing far easier and precise.
I'm not sure which part you need - but Storyline and Studio both do not have the functionality to publish as a single video file, although it's something you can submit as a feature request.
While it may be a bummer not to have that feature available in the current version of Storyline, there's always a way!
I'll spare you with a list of other software tools that could support your needs, but in the meantime here's quick solution.
Create your sentence syncing in Storyline as you would normally do.
Set the Player to hide all references to buttons, sidebar menu, tabs, title, etc. and the player border so only the slide content displays.
Publish to Web.
Push to a server or run it locally.
Use Screenr or Replay (or other sreencasting software such as Sceenflow or Jing) to then record the output.
Save the recording in the video format you need. I know Screenr exports as MP4 and Jing I believe is a MOV.
If you need WMV you're going to need a Windows-related tool as that's a specific format to Windows - hence, "Windows Media Video." AVI is an uncompressed video and is typically a very large file, and if you're going to play this across multiple browsers you'll need to convert an AVI into other formats anyway.

I need the same thing. Any answer for this one?
Hi Paul and welcome to Heroes!

In regards to syncing audio, there is a tutorial here on how to sync animations with audio in Storyline and for Presenter, you can follow the directions here.
Your first answer is what I needed, although not what I was hoping to hear.
This kind of seams like a no brain-er to me. It's pretty straight forward to output flash.

Give that a shot. May be all you need for now.
Thanks Kevin for sharing that method here.
If you need to download Replay, you can find information about that here.
