New in Storyline 360: 64-bit App
Creating media-rich and other complex projects in Storyline 360 just got better. Thanks to the 64-bit app you'll enjoy faster authoring and increased stability no matter what you've got in the works.
As of May 2024, 64-bit Storyline 360 is the default Storyline version in the desktop app. That means you get enhanced stability, performance, and memory access with no extra steps.
Excited to check this feature out? Articulate 360 subscribers can access 64-bit Storyline 360 right away. And if you want to try this highly-requested feature but don't have Articulate 360, just start a free 30-day trial. For more details about 64-bit Storyline 360, check out this article: Storyline 360: 64-bit App.
Hi, everyone. We appreciate all your valuable feedback on 64-bit Storyline 360!
As of May 2024, this app is no longer in beta. You can still share your experience in this discussion or the feature request form.

Tried it out for 2 days and a project got immediately corrupted. So that's it for me with 64 bit for the time being...
- PatrickFinne459Community Member
Agreed. I tested it. and no problems yet for me, but I would not use it in production yet. I don't mind being on the leading edge, but not the bleeding edge!

Have used in production for a good few months, appears more stable than 32bit on my machine
- EthanDuffy-67a7Community Member
Opened it, still no UI scaling so it's just running with horrible bicubic scaling on any modern monitors, uninstalled it again.

A question for a representative from Articulate. What is the expected timeframe for the duration of the beta period for this 64 bit version? i.e. Approx when is it likely to come out of beta and transition into a production version?
Hello Peter,
While we don't have an exact date on when the 64-bit version of Storyline 360 will move out of Beta, we plan to add screen recording functionality to 64-bit next month at which point it will be feature complete, meaning it will have the same features as its 32-bit counterpart.
Further releases beyond that will mostly include further stabilization and the mechanics of making it generally available.

Can anyone confirm whether the SSML features are working in the 64-bit version?
- runrunstevenCommunity Member
Yes. Currently using SSML in the 64-bit version. I'm only see the Neural versions for English (US) and the standard ones appear to have been removed. Can't use full SSML markup, for the neural ones....

Does the x64 version not support the "By Paragraph" text animation? I have a multi-line text box selected, and "By Paragraph" is not in the Effect Options menu for a Fade.
- runrunstevenCommunity Member
You would click "Fade" as the entrance animation. Then you would select the button next to it that says "Effect Options" and it'll be at the very bottom. Paragraph vs. As One Object

I'm curious if anybody knows, or perhaps Articulate support can chime in, about whether or not this 64-bit version takes advantage of a PC's GPU. And what are the key PC specs that can now be taken advantage of, assuming part of the answer is "using more RAM".
- Jim_PowellCommunity Member
Yes please. This is important
- PhilMayor-b4ca0Community Member
The 32bit uses the GPU so presume the 64bit does as well

Sadly, will not open in Parallels for Mac.
Hi Ryan!
To clarify, are you finding that Storyline 360 64-bit isn't opening, but Storyline 360 is? Are you seeing an error message when trying to launch 64-bit?
I am using Parallels and haven't run into any issues when launching 64-bit. One quick step to try is uninstalling and reinstalling right from your Articulate 360 desktop app.
Please keep us updated!
- PhilMayorSuper Hero
I have one parallels install on M1 Ultra where it opens everytime and one on M1 Max where it can never open. No difference in VM as they are a copy of one another.

Please see my post: Static publishing for videos using 64 bit version seems to publishing incorrectly as Adaptive. 32 bit confirmed to work.
Hi Todd,
Thanks for bringing this to our attention. I went ahead and shared these details with our support engineers, and you can check out my response to your original post here!
- MarkJohnson-671Community Member
Never trust a Beta with your actual projects I guess...
- MarkJohnson-671Community Member
I clicked the Find Out More link in the Articulate loader and it showed me a web page with a 404 error...
- JessicaAttertonCommunity Member
Can someone point me in the direction of where I can find resources that provide a more detailed comparison of the 32 bit versus the 64 bit app? I am also not clear on if developing courses in the 4 bit will provide a better developer experience or it actually means courses will load faster and be better overall for the end user/learner. I have had a google but can't find the answers I am looking for.
Hi Jessica. I recently wrote an article that goes into more detail about 64-bit Storyline: Engineering Journal: Demystifying 64-Bit Storyline
To answer your specific question about whether or not 64-bit provides a better developer experience or faster load times for learners: the improvements with the 64-bit version will only be apparent for the course developer using Storyline. There will be no difference in the learner experience.
