Hello, 
I'm having the same issue and wonder if you could share details of the Replay workaround? I have a Storyline course that I've published to MP4, am inserting into a Rise course, but the inserted video doesn't display the first frame image - just a blank white screen. Is there any way to choose an intro/thumbnail image in Storyline without involving another tool?

Thanks!

Karen

    Hi Karen,

    Happy to help here! 

    When publishing a Storyline course to MP4 and importing it into Rise, this will display the first frame of an MP4 video as the thumbnail. The workaround here is to:

    1. Insert the published MP4 video into Replay 360.
    2. Then insert an image that will appear before the video starts.
    3. Now republish the video as an MP4 and insert this file into the Rise 360 course.

    The image will now appear as the thumbnail instead of a blank screen. This guide provides more details on adding images to Replay 360 here: 

    Please let us know if you have any questions!
