Publishing takes forever
Hello, I am assuming mine is taking a long time because it has a 6-hour video. Can you confirm this? or is there something else I can do to publish this quicker?
Hi TrainingAssista​ I would say that, 100%, that is what's happening. There is no way that Storyline is going to get through publishing a 6 hour video in a reasonable time if you have the video embedded into the project, because it's almost assuredly grinding on compressing the video while publishing.
You can certainly try to make it so that it doesn't do that, which could resolve the issue for you. To do that, Click on the Video and go up to Video Tools - Options and right under that is going to be an option for "Compression". Select "None" (if the drop-down isn't grayed out,) and then try to publish again.
That said, I'm not sure where or how you plan on delivering the presentation you're creating so that still may be less than ideal depending on that.
Alternatively, and most would likely tell you this is going to be the better option, you could try to host the video elsewhere, and then simply link to it by doing an Insert Video - From a Website, or adding it as a Web Object.
