Color differences in video files once they are embedded in Storyline
I have made a small video direct with ffmpeg
ffmpeg -f lavfi -i color=#556b2f:1280x720:d=10,format=yuv420p test-yuv420p-556b2f.mp4
the result of the color rendering is very interesting
source: background-color #556b2f
playback in VLC: #566a30
playback direct in Chrome: #53662f
playback direct in Firefox: #566a30 (same as VLC)
Storyline -> video: "compress none"
Storyline Authoring: #54652c (.NET ???)
Storyline Preview (integrated Chrome): #53662f
Storyline Publish to Web (view with Chrome): #53662f
Storyline Publish to Web (view with Firefox): #566a30 (same as VLC)
=> VLC and Firefox are identical, Chrome is complete different
the same for a png (no color profile)
source: background-color #556b2f
view direct in Chrome: #546c32 <- !!!
view direct in Firefox: #556b2f <- OK
Storyline Authoring: #556b2f (OK)
Storyline Publish to Web (view with Chrome): #546c32 <- !!!
Storyline Publish to Web (view with Firefox): #556b2f (OK)

storyline screenshot Chrome
storyline screenshot Firefox
=> colors in PNG and colors in video are always different
=> there is no fix for storyline
