Too many screencasts?

Hi all - looking for some advice and hoping some of you can help.
I am doing a Jeopardy -style game using question banks. For every question that is in the course, I want to have a short screencast showing how to find the right answer. Am I going to run into problems with a massive file size? I'm not quite done half of the recordings and I am already at 419MB :S
Is there a way to compress the screencasts within the file (instead of through Publish) to bring down the file size a bit? Right now it's taking quite a long time to load and save.
Any advice would be wonderful!

Hi, Erika - You may want to look at exporting the MP4s and try some compression outside of Storyline. Here is some info on Exporting Screen Recordings and Video Compression in Articulate Storyline. Otherwise, I hope the community is able to chime in with some suggestions to assist you further!
I'm not totally familiar with exporting as MP4...with this compress them automatically? And then I can re-import them back into Storyline?
Hi, Erika - You will want to export your MP4, choose a compression service on the web, and then reimport the compressed MP4s. I think the size of your published output is where we'll need to keep an eye.

Are the screencasts company confidential?
If not then throw them up on YouTube or similar and instead of inserting video from a file inster video from Website.
I did that to reduce a course that had a bunch of video screencasts in it.
