How do I stop Rise 360 from converting/processing my videos?
Hi,
Does anyone know how to get Rise 360 to stop processing videos? I ask because our MP4 videos are encoded so we have the best quality for the least size possible and every time Rise 360 re-encodes them and the size increases dramatically which isn't good at all for us as some of our SCORM packages become too large for uploading in our LMS
Thank you

This really stinks because my courses are created with many videos. We need a way to stop this lossy compression. Let's make it happen please. Vimeo is okay but this would be better.
More often the Rise vid compression works great, but I too have seen some of our compressed vids end up being bigger in the Rise package. This is after I've taken them through premier/media encoder.
Embedding/sourcing vids from another content directory will allow the user to skip watching them, and given they are often learning objects, its not ideal.
If there could be an option in future to control some of the compression - ie, optimise, or not, or specify the delivery platform.Is there any update on this? It's kind of an unacceptable issue.
It's gone the other way now. videos used to all be converted to 720p 30fps and a medium-ish bitrate that gave better results if you fed it high bitrate input (but caused headaches for users who already had highly optimised videos). Now the SCORM files are significantly larger, as the videos are output at 1080p 30fps but at much higher bitrates too. Our modules have gone from being 20-30MB each to 100-200MB each!
Hi Nigel,
This may help:
Pro Tip: If you'd like a video to keep its specific file format and not undergo compression, you can opt-out of optimization on a case-by-case basis. Just add
_NOPROCESS_to the name of your video file. It'll upload and display exactly as you saved it. Keep in mind, using this method bypasses transcoding and compression, so learners may encounter issues with playback across different devices. File size limits still apply.
