Maximum file size for imported videos and .story file?
Hi John! We don't put any limits on what you can do in Storyline (besides the file formats that we support).
Do you have a large video that you're trying to insert into a file? Usually, your computer's processing power is a crucial element when working with media. If it's cumbersome to add a large video directly to Storyline, you could host the video externally (e.g. on Vimeo) and embed it into your Storyline course.
Feel free to attach your video file for me to test!
Yet the link Ashley provides below states that there is a size limit of 2 gig. I ran into a serious problem when I inserted a video larger than 2 gig, but did not receive any warning when inserting it. I was able to insert it, save it, preview it, and publish it. But when I closed my project and re-opened it I received a message that the file was corrupted and it was not recoverable. Lost a lot of work as a result.
Hello Anthony!
It looks like you've spotted a bit of an outdated post there; apologies for any confusion! And you're spot on; the link Ashley provided has the most up-to-date best practices for high-quality videos, including info on the 2GB max file size for videos in Storyline!
Also, I responded to your other post over here 😊
