Video shrinks when in preview mode

Aug 07, 2018

Hi there.  I am hoping someone can please provide a solution to an issue I am experiencing with a video in my project.  The video looks fine when inserted but as soon as I preview it, it shrinks in width.  I have not had this happen before and am unsure as to how to fix it.

Welcome to ELH, Sarah! I'd love to lend a hand here. ☺️

First, could you let me know what version of Storyline you're using? Click on the Help tab > About Storyline to find this detail. Next, can you walk me through the flow you took to upload the video? I'll be standing by!

p.s. If you're using Storyline 360, we had an issue a while back where videos in a course could be sized or positioned incorrectly during preview which was fixed on a later update. I ran a quick test on the latest update where I'm unable to recreate the behavior–here's a quick Peek of what I saw.

Thanks for your follow-up, Sarah!

For next steps, an update just might do the trick; 3.18.16449.0 is the current build. Simply launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer and click the Update button for Storyline 360

If you're still seeing this behavior after the update, could you share your .story file with me so I can take a closer look? You can either add it as a comment by using the Add Attachment button in your reply or share it privately through this link. I'll be here!
