Storyline taking long time to save

Jan 20, 2021

I'm working on a storyline project with american sign language videos on each slide. There are a total of 4 scenes in the story around 11 slides each. I am going through and updating each slide. It is taking 15-30 minutes to save the project slide by slide. I have to save each slide after I edit it because if I try to save two slides it will freeze. HELP!

Hi, Jackie,

I can imagine how frustrating that could be. That said, I have a few questions about this issue:

  • What is the size of the file after you saved it?
  • Are you working on your local hard drive?
  • Does rebooting help?

In addition to checking that you meet at least the minimum system requirements, you'll want to ensure that you're following along with the other guidelines detailed here for working with Storyline files:

Next, is this only happening on one .story file or with all your Storyline files with such videos? If it's just one file, you may want to try importing it into a new Storyline project. If it's happening across multiple files, I'd suggest conducting the repair of Storyline

I hope this helps.
