Video Quality in the slide is fuzzy

here is the filde

Hello Emilie,

You may need to check the Player properties and quality settings.

The Properties section of the Publish window allows you to make any last-minute changes to your course player, or to change the compression settings Storyline uses when publishing.

The Quality field allows you to control the compression settings Storyline uses for any audio, video, and pictures you've added to your course. The settings here default to whatever you used the last time you published a Storyline project. To change the quality settings, click the blue text and change any of the fields as noted below; then click OK.

Choose Standard if you want to use the default settings. If you mark this option, the values on the window revert back to their defaults (video quality of 5, audio bitrate of 48kbps, and image quality of 80%).

Choose Custom if you want to define your own quality settings. Then click and drag the slider on any of the three values to change the compression. Using higher values means higher-quality output, but also larger file sizes (which means longer download times). Lower values mean smaller file sizes and faster download times, but the visual and audio quality will be lower as well.

You may want to look at these tutorials about adding videos and adjusting videos properties.

We compress the videos during publish as well, click here for information.

You can also look here for a video on how to replace the video within the published output.

How can I add my interaction the slide when the Video is fuzzy ?

Here is a list of the how storyline encodes videos based on type and publish option:

For our videos, we usually output to HD (at least 720p) MP4 or MOV, then re-encode as an FLV with the Alpha Channel option. With that format and option, Storyline will not re-encode/compress the video, so it should look like it did before publish.

Hi - I'm trying to figure this out but can't find the Properties section of the Publish window. I don't see that section at all when I click Publish. Please help :).

Hi Lindsey!

This thread is a bit dated.

Are you utilizing Storyline 2? It's hard to see that there is a hyperlink there that opens another window.

Here is a quick screen recording for you to check out and get to the items Emily mentioned above.
