Publish to Video is Slow
- 12 months ago
Hi Everyone!
Great news! I'm happy to share that we just released Storyline 360 (version 3.82.31354.0), which includes a new 64-bit version of Storyline 360! Harness the processing power in modern computers with 64-bit Storyline 360. Large, media-rich courses benefit from increased stability and faster performance!
To use 64-bit Storyline 360, please update your Articulate 360 desktop app, then click the Install button next to the Storyline 360 app with the 64-bit and beta labels. The Install button will change to an Open button when the installation is complete.
This was highly requested, so we hope it serves you in your course creation! If you run into any snags, don't hesitate to contact our team in a support case.
Just a quick update to those trying this export method. The latest patch does seem to "improve" things but... imho, still not useable:
I finally, successfully exported a video file - it still took an amazing 6 hours to publish the 20min course of screen demos on max quality settings.
Aside from making this video export function much faster to make it practical to use, my other suggestion is you need to be able to publish in the courses running order, not the order the scenes were created. Example:
The course I have has 8 scenes and a quiz. The First 2 scenes were created, then the final quiz scene, then the later scenes which were "help" demos, and only then were the core scenes created. Articulate numbers the scenes as created so I have:
Scene 1, 2, 3 Quiz, 4+5 help scenes that go at the end 6, 7, 8 core content. But the running order by "next button" progression is:
1,2,6,7,8,4,5,3!
And when you export to video by "next button selection" you get a video totally out of order to the progression of the actual course, it's following the scene creation order.
So Articulate needs to not only follow the next button action of the slides themselves - it needs to follow that action to the next scene that the next button takes you too. As it is, the video export is completely out of whack.
Anyway, at a core level the export does work - but is still way too slow to be useful and the ordering further compounds this.
