White bars appearing on top and bottom of the screen while playing videos

May 08, 2023

Hello Team,

I am working on a Storyline project wherein I have to insert two videos (mp4 files created using Camtasia) and also include 2 assessment questions (using Storyline). The questions come in between both the videos. There are no other slides in the project. Although everything works fine, the videos do not appear full screen, white bars appear on top and bottom of the screen. I tried changing the aspect ratio, but it didn't help. Please could you suggest if I need to change any other setting or are there any special tips and tricks to follow while inserting mp4 files?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Juthika,

Welcome to the E-Learning Heroes Community!

I'm happy to help with this concern, and I appreciate the troubleshooting you have already applied, including changing the aspect ratio! I'm curious about the aspect ratio of the videos itself. Do they match that of the Storyline slides?

If the issue persists, can you share your Storyline file with us so we can look at what you have set up? You may also share it with us privately by sending it along here. We'll delete it when we're done testing!
