I have a screen recording of a storyline 360 project but I can't seem to get it to export as a mp4. I have tried using the instructions available online, but I do not get any options when I right-click.
I recorded a quick video using Peek that demonstrates how to export a video you previously recorded using Storyline's Screen Record tool. Let me know if this helps!
The steps Alyssa shared would be for the screen recording that was conducted with audio, not for audio added after the fact.
If you wanted to capture both of those elements into a video file, you could look at recording the playback of your audio/video with another instance of Storyline or use a tool like Replay which will publish to MP4.
This is a great feature. However, although I can publish to Mp4 for two test projects that had two-ten slides and one scene, I am trying to publish a two scene, (approx 30 slides) piece to Mp4. It ran for 3 hours (stuck at almost the completion point). I am able to publish this latter project to LMS, Web, CD, but not to video. I need to have it in MP4. I can't find any troubleshooting tips. help?
By chance, does your project contain step-by-step screen recording slides? If so, that's the culprit. We're seeing a problem in Storyline 360 where projects that contain step-by-step screen recording slides don't successfully publish to MP4.
Let me know if that matches what's happening in your file! If not, we'll keep digging. 😊
Yes- the project is mainly screen recordings of step by step actions. Is
there a solution or workaround? If not, I have to go back to using Adobe
Captivate for my client.
While I don't have a workaround to offer at this point, we have confirmed that the fix for this bug will be released in the next update of Storyline 360. We're targeting to release that update very soon. Since you're now subscribed to this thread, you'll be notified of that fix as soon as it goes live.
This is an awesome feature, Ashley! Can Storyline 3 users expect similar functionality to make its way to our standalone version, or is this an SL360 exclusive?
Hi everyone! I'm excited to let you know that we just released update 13 for Storyline 360! It includes new features and fixes - check them all out here.
One of the fixes addresses an issue where publishing to a video file would fail if the project contained step-by-step slides.
Here’s how you can update Storyline 360 to take advantage of everything the latest release has to offer. Let me know how you make out!
Hi, does the new publish to mp4 feature in Storyline360 work for storyline projects that have a high level of interactivity used in the build? I have a client that would like their project available to use on their website and not necessarily through our LMS.
When you publish a course for video, it will no longer be interactive. Check out the details shared in this article on things to be aware of and what will not display if this method of publish is used.
Hi Christos! Sorry you're hitting this problem. We recently released a fix for this issue in Storyline 360 Update 13.
Are you on the latest update of Storyline 360? To check, click the Help tab, then click About Storyline. You should see 3.13.15006.0 in the bottom-right corner.
Thanks for confirming that, Christos. I'd love to have our team take a closer look at your file. Would you mind sharing it with us by clicking here? We'll test publishing to MP4 video and let you know what we find!
I have the 3.13.15006.0 version, but I am also having issues with publishing to MP4. I recorded my screen, but did not use the step by step option. The audio was not captured with the recording and was added into the timeline.
Normally when I publish for AICC or SCORM the publication will only take about 15-20 minutes. When publishing to MP4 it took over an hour and the video is not matching the project as it was setup in Storyline or how it displays in Preview.
Publishing to MP4 may behave a bit differently than your Preview or a standard publish, as Storyline has to make decisions on how to advance based on the triggers you included.
As for the audio piece, if it's missing upon publishing and you had standard audio added or as a screen recording video on a single slide it sounds like something we'd want to take a look at!

Hi Chantel!
I recorded a quick video using Peek that demonstrates how to export a video you previously recorded using Storyline's Screen Record tool. Let me know if this helps!
If I record audio after screen capture, will this method produce an mp4 with images and sound?
Hi Jenna,

Hope that helps!

Great question, Sam! The Publish to a Video File feature is exclusive to Storyline 360. Let me know if you have any other questions about that!

Hi Ruth,

Thanks Leslie, I will have to tell them we need to keep it on our LMS or it will have to be built differently.
No problem Ruth. Glad that information was able to help you out.
Hello!
I am trying to publish a record screen project in articulate 360 as a video, but it takes several hours to do so...
Do you know why such a delay occurs?

Is there anything else that I can do?
