How can I export all of the audio from a Storyline?
I've just recorded the narration for my first Storyline course. In Presenter, I usually open the audio editor and export ALL of the narration to a file. It shows up nicely with slide numbers and names. I can't find this feature in Storyline. I see that I could work with/export the audio one slide at at time, but doing that would be really tedious. Since Storyline crashed halfway through my first attempt to record and didn't keep any of the audio, I think it's going to be really important to have a back up copy.

Hi Joyce!
I think you're doing things the right way. Storyline currently supports exporting one audio file at a time. I agree exporting multiple files would be a big help, so please feel free to add your voice by submitting a feature request.
I am a bit concerned about why Storyline crashed on you. That shouldn't be happening. If it happens again, would you mind submitting a support case and attaching your project file? We'd really like to have a look.
Here's a tutorial on editing and exporting audio in case anyone reading this is interested.

Hi Joyce,
You cannot currently export all the audio files at the same time. Take a look here for the explanation.
However, I do have a workaround for you. I would publish the Storyline course using the CD option. This basically creates a folder that holds all of your course files. Look for the story content folder and there you will find all your audio narration files. This way you will at least have your backup.
Hope this helps,
Adrian

Thanks guys. I'm really bummed about this, but I've submitted a feature request as David suggested.

Hi Joyce,
Keep in mind that the CD option is still a published course. It will contain the source files, but it is not the same thing as the project file itself (.story).

Hi Joyce,
You are welcome. I am really sorry that there is not a better option at this time.

Hey Adrian, when publishing/exporting all of the audio to CD, the filenames are all garbage, is there some code to crack to know what file came from what slide?

I am trying to decipher the names of the audio files in the publish and quickly determine where they are implemented in a course. As the filenames change in the publish for audio files, is there a way to quickly decipher them?

Hi Leisa,
There isn't currently a way to tell which audio belongs to what slide, just based on filename alone. The reason why the names are the way they are is because of the compression Storyline applies when publishing. Currently, the only way to tell which slide they belong to is by listening to them. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Always Happy to Help,
Adrian

Hi,
There needs to be a fix for this like in Presenter where all of the audio can be exported at once and the files are identified by slide #. I have a project where I need to import the audio files in from another project, one is for Americas the other for EMEA and they share some of the same script and the same audio. Doing this one by one is taking a lot of time. I have 73 slides. :(
