Storyline file size

Jan 09, 2014

I am building a large course in Storyline with many videos embedded. The file size is getting large 245MB.  

Questions:

1. what is the file size limitation for Storyline?  

2. What is the number of icons/screens limit for Storyline?

3.  Is there a number of videos limit?

Thanks in advance

Here's a recent thread on file sizes:  http://community.articulate.com/forums/p/40562/218898.aspx

I think there are technical challenges and there are learner challenges.  YMMV, but I prefer to chunk my courses into many smaller units for learner consumption, say 15-25 minutes at most per chunk.

Besides giving learners something easier to digest, smaller files in Storyline may be responsive when opening and saving.

Hi Scott,

I think you will start to have some real loading issues. 

The end result will be your users will be waiting for the course load.

eLearning Enhanced has a pre-loader that may help - if you wish to persist down this path - more importantly it offers uses a loading bar

Best option is to break into small pieces in IMHO
