Course File Size - How big is too Big
Folks,
I have a questions that I have not found the answer to. How big of a .story or produced course is too big. I want to create all encompassing training that would probably exceed 200MB with ...
Hi Mary Ann, I am just about to embark on a very large branching scenario, which the user needs to play in one go. Did you have any update on how your project progressed? What was the end file size? Did you find that Storyline coped in regards to functionality? Would love any tips you might have. Many thanks Frances
Most of the courses ended up being less than 200MB but there was one that
another coworker created that was 382MB. What I found was to include the
smallest version of videos in the best quality. Some of our videos were HD
but that was really not necessary, So I converted them to a smaller version
but with similar quality. Also, if you cut the beginning and end of a
video within Storyline, it doesn't get smaller. It stays the same size and
it only shows the part you included in the trim. It did take a while to
save the files and publish them. I would say that in my experience, keep
the files under 150MB if you can. Also, if you are uploading them to a
SharePoint site you may have a 50MB size limitation. Let me know if you
have any more questions! I'm glad to help!
