Video limits in Storyline 3?

Hi Jon,

It doesn't sound like you're hitting any Storyline limits, but limits within the internet speed of your learners. Do you know what their average is? 

If they are struggling with the video added directly into Storyline, I'd also suggest looking at adding it as a web object and hosting the video on a site such as YouTube or Vimeo. Those sites are optimized to provide playback even for individuals who are on a very slow connection. 

Thanks Ashley.  The folks are averaging 9 MBps, which isn't too bad. 

Unfortunately, I cannot put the video on Vimeo or YouTube because of the content.

I'm going to attempt breaking it up into chucks and sprinkling my quiz questions in between.  Is it okay to break a quiz up like that?  I'm not scoring it, they are really just knowledge check questions.

That sounds like a plan, Jon!  It's fine to break up your set of quiz questions, even if you are grading it.  So have at it, and let us know if that helps playback for learners.

Here's some insight into how content is preloaded in Storyline, including video.  That might help guide your design ideas, as well.

Hi Jon,

You can break a quiz up however you'd like - and still score it! As long as your results slide appears after all the quiz questions, that's what will track completion and report those results to your LMS.

Breaking up the video sounds like a good alternative to help those learners with lower speeds. Also, I'd look at the overall video quality as you could lower that to create a smaller video size and faster playback. 

Hey,

Thank you all for your help.  That process worked out pretty well!  It works better too.  It was too easy for them tune out a 20 minute video.
