(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-inter...
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.
Absolutely, we create tons of interactive videos and here's some more tips for how you optimize your performance:
- Cut video into shorter clips
- Put video clips on separate slides rather than layers (multiple layers of video clips makes that slide slow to load whereas SL cues up upcoming slides while the video is playing if you break them into slides instead)
- When you publish, always use adaptive video quality, makes a huge difference.
