Project won't save - Storyline 2

Hey Rocky,

Sorry to hear that you ran into an issue with Storyline 3.

This thread is a bit dated and I know that many of the posts are for Storyline 2, so I'd like to understand what you are seeing and if you are getting an error of some sort?

This issue is almost a decade old, and for SL2, but it just happened to me today. I am using SL360, working locally, and my project indeed has a few videos.

Did anyone find a solution?

If you are on a MAC - then ignore me - PC... continue... recently, I have had multiple wacky issues coinciding with the latest windows update, so much so that I had to use another laptop just to insert or change an image. Did you try the "work's about 95% of the time" method of starting a new project, adding custom settings, and importing ONE scene at at time - saving between each import and before you link your scenes back together, save again as a new name. OH, and don't forget to sing a happy tune during this process - keeps the gremlins away. AND, do not have ANYTHNG else open - seriously - look at your services - this should be the only thing running, not an update in the background or security scan - nada - and that is after a refresh restart. I always have weeks of pain after every major windows update - which is why I keep extra computers around and do not update the spares until the non-Microsoft companies can catch. Adobe products have the problems as Articulate during this period.

Best of luck -  I also remember I did have to republish my longer videos from the highest quality to the next lower as well as my audience would be on laptops or tablets instead of the giant 4K monitor I develop on and it looked just fine on those devices. 

I'll be interested to see what solutions others have found.
