Rise 360 - SCORM file size
Hello Vasile_Tihon,
Thanks for reaching out!
The video encoder in Rise 360 doesn't just compress videos but also automatically increases the quality of low-resolution and low-settings videos (effectively increasing the file size).
For example, a 720p video with around 10mbps bitrate can be compressed to 2mbps; and a 540p video with around 0.4mbps bitrate can be increased to 0.6mbps bitrate. For this reason, the 540p file will have its size increased while the 720p video will have its size decreased.
As a workaround, you could add _NOPROCESS_ to the name of your video files to avoid the automatic increase in file size.
- I do want to note that bypassing compression might lead to playback issues across different devices, and the file size limits still apply.
If you have any other questions, please let us know in this thread or privately in a support case.
Thank you very much for the hint; it worked like a charm.
What would be your suggestion for the optimal file resolution to maintain the same file size when uploading videos for my course?
Hello Vasile_Tihon,
Thanks for the update! I'm so glad inserting _NOPROCESS_ worked well for your video files!
I understand you're looking to insert your video files into Rise 360 without the addition of file size.
- In our best practices, we recommend using high-quality videos with a 16:9 aspect ratio for the best results in your published courses. As we discussed earlier, you'll just want to insert _NOPROCESS_ to the video file name to avoid your files undergoing compression. The maximum file size for each video is 5GB.
I hope this helps!
Yes, LucianaPiazza, you understood correctly. I need to insert videos into my Rise 360 course. I'm limited to a maximum 500MB SCORM file when uploading to the e-learning platform in my company, which is why I try to reduce file size as much as possible.
Thanks again for the advice and the link to best practices.
