Video resolution set for screen capture is changed by Articulate

Dec 18, 2018

Hello,  this is my first post with possibly an easy answer, however I cannot figure it out. I need to record several screenvideo's in resolution 1280 x 650 (as per company requirement). I can simply set this resolution and record the video, however after saving the resolution is changed by Articulate itself to a resolution of 1280 x 656???

Is there a solution to this issue? as now we will need to convert every single video to the correct resolution afterwards.

Hope you can help me out,

greetings Don

Hi Don and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)

I recorded a brief video in the same dimensions and those held to my presentation:

Now, that's not the size it is within my project as it will scale to fit based on the Slide Size.

  • Where are you seeing this size change take place?
  • What size are your slides in your project?
  • What version of Storyline are you using?

Hello Leslie,

Thanks for your response,

  • I think the size change takes place directly after the video recording is stopped, during the calculating. When I check the storyline directly after, the change is already there (1280x656). (unfortunately I do not manage to get the output which you have managed to create.)
  • The slides are set to 720x540 (4:3) however this will most probably be adjusted in the next stage by someone else (I only make the video's).
  • I am working in Storyline 2

I hope you will be able to explain where I am doing something wrong, as I see that you did manage to get a resolution of 1280x650 in your storyline.

Best Regards

Don

Thanks for the details, Don.

I used Storyline 360 for my example above, and I'm seeing the same thing you are reporting when using Storyline 2.

I'd be happy to report this to my team, but I have a couple of additional questions:

  • What issue is this causing with your courses?
  • What will the slide size be of the course?

You aren't doing anything wrong; it does seem to be adjusting on its own.
