(long) interactive video

Hello everyone,

For a client I'm building an interactive video in Storyline. I have watched the webinar where David explains how to create this (https://training.articulate.com/webinars/create-interactive-video-quizzes-with-storyline-360)

However I still have a question. The video that is in my course is 45 minutes long. Would you guys still recommend working with one slide and then putting all the questions in the layers?

Or would it be better to make fragments of the video and put them in seperate slides? And if so, what is the easiest way to cut the video in pieces?

Thank you for thinking along!

Best wishes, Eline

  • I suggest cutting the video into shorter fragments. That should help the video load quicker. It'll also make it easier for you to program and preview. And, depending on how you set it up, it should be easier for the learner to review as needed.

    Storyline's video editing includes Trim, which allows you to shorten a video by deleting some from the beginning and/or the end. Here's the User Guide info: Storyline 360: Editing Videos | Articulate - Community 

    That's probably not the easiest way, but it is the way to do it without investing in other software.

      Hey Judy,
      Thank you for your suggestion, I will take a look into it! I also prefer not using too many other programs, so your suggestion seems just fine:)

    Having done a similar project, yes, you are likely better off cutting the video into shorter sections.
