1hour and 25 minutes.
a video with 1.25 h (in HD) is typical much bigger than 1,000 MByte
there are two options
- lower the dimensions and/or the quality of the videos (while Premiere export)
- use vimeo or another video platform (-> video from website)*
*hint: trigger in storyline don't work with external video

Hi Sarah,
If your videos are in 1080p, you can try lowering the resolution to 720p to decrease its file size significantly. You can use a tool called Handbrake for this. An 85-minute video in HD is a pretty large file, so I'd imagine that this single file alone would be enough to exceed the 750 MB limit in your LMS. If lowering the resolution is an option for you, here's a helpful video on how to use Handbrake that you can check out.
