Our LMS is limited for SCORM files to a max of 2GB. My course is about 3GB, and the ZIP file is more than 2GB. I allocated which videos were "heavy" in my course, made them lighter in Camtasia and re-uploaded them to the course in SL.
However, the new SL file is even greater! Almost 4GB!
I removed one of the "heavy" videos from the course - just to experiment - and the SL file size remains the same! Is there something that I am missing? Has anyone come across this behaviour?
Sorry to hear that you ran into this behavior. Here are a few troubleshooting steps that you can try to lower the file size of your project:
Save your project to a new project file and then close Storyline 360. Make sure that you are working locally when saving your project to avoid the risk of data corruption.
If the issue persists, feel free to reach out to our support team by opening a case so we can take a look at what caused the size of your project file to increase.
I like to use Handbrake to compress my video files. It's free and a great tool to use with Storyline. I make sure that SL does not compress the videos itself when I import them into the project.
I also use TinyPNG to compress images after SL publishes the SCORM package. You can find all the image files in the "mobile" folder -- just make sure you use the exact same name when replacing them.
