Not sure if this is usual or something has to do with my Storyline 360.
Recently, we have been asked to publish all the courses as Videos. Some slides have videos and some have narrations with animation. Publishing slides as a video (MP4) is becoming a nightmare, taking hours. It takes its usual time when I remove the videos from the slides but then I have to open Camtasia to add those videos in the slides. Too much hassle.
Unless you have a pretty highly specced PC you're always likely to suffer from long publishing times when outputting video, regardless of the software you're using.
Out of interest, when your courses have finally finished publishing to MP4 how long are they?
It's not only about outputting video. I understand that it takes longer when you have a course for 20 minutes. but the publishing times get three times when you have the same 20 minutes course but have some videos in it.
Let's say a course duration is 20 minutes that has:
Narration + Animation + Text + Diagrams = 30 (minutes)
Narration + Animation + Text + Diagrams + 1 video (3 minutes) = 1 hours 15 minutes, 22 seconds.
To publish anything to video you need a hefty machine, I run an xeon 8 core 64gb machine and it cuts through video publishing but the longer they are the longer they will take, those videos will be being reerendered.
