Importing Audio Files into SL

Hi, I was in the process of importing audio files that I created in another software and suddenly it stop allowing me to add them. Is there a max on file size for a SL project? If so, what is that max and how do I find out what my current file size is for my project?

  • >suddenly it stop allowing me to add them
    this was a 'normal' crash

    • save the .story file (best with a new name) at the latest after 20 imported audios
    • dont use keyboard shortcuts to much - if you are to fast -> storyline will crash

    >Is there a max on file size for a SL project?
    arround 2 GByte per file - but for audio this isn't a problem

    >If so, what is that max and how do I find out what my current file size is for my project
    publish to web and have a look in the folder "story_content"

    here some hints for audio in storyline

    you should compress all audios outsite storyline with correct volume to the final web format
    (e.g. mp3 mono cbr 96 kbit/s) - I use EZ CD Audio Converter (lifetime license $40)

    and deactivate "Compression"

    result:

    • you have control over the file size and quality of the media files
    • you can use stereo mp3 (e.g. for music or special effect sounds)
    • file size of .story is much smaller
    • audio quality is better
    • publish time is shorter
