Project is Invalid or Corrupt
I am brand new to Storyline and the first project I created last Thursday gave me the message "This project is invalid or corrupt and cannot be opened. It may have been created in an earlier version...
It seems to be my .mov file. It uploads into the project and onto Review 360 just fine, but once you close and reopen, it corrupts the file.
The same issue was noted here https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/file-becomes-corrupted-after-inserting-a-mov-file and here https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/adding-mov-files-into-storyline-causes-file-corruption and here https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/storyline-360-this-project-is-invalid-or-corrupt-and-cannot-be-opened so it seems to be a common problem. Apparently it doesn't have the correct encoding, so now I just have to figure out how to fix that and convert the file to an mp4 instead of mov. Just thought I'd share in case anyone else encounters this problem and stumbles across this thread.
This free tool might be useful for converting your .mov to MP4
