Does preview/publishing degrade media over over time?

Nov 16, 2013

I am working in Storyline and I find myself repeatedly previewing slides in which I am using MP4, MP3, and occasionally .jpg files (I try to use .png files when I can). Am I recompressing the media files each time I do that and, if so, am I loosing addition data each time (i.e. Is the quality degrading subtly)? Or does compression only happen when I bring the media into the project the first time and then when I publish it?

I know just enough about compression to be dangerous so I am not sure if this is an issue or not.

Thanks for any clarification you can provide.
