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.

No, it only compresses on publish, the videos are rendered once then rerendered if you resize them. No data is lost from the source files on publish.
