SCORM file published in Rise is too large
Hi. I created an SBT course in Rise with multiple avatars and found out that the SCORM file generated is too large (143 MB). I checked the zip folder and it appears that all poses of my chosen avatars (even the ones that are not appearing in the course) are stored in there. Is there a way to disable this? If not, is there a way to reduce the file size of the SCORM zip file?

Hi Gerald! Thanks for reaching out! Are these avatars from one Scenario Block inserted in Rise or is this from a Storyline Block inserted in Rise?
Hi Renz. The avatars are inserted using the Scenario block. I used about 6 to 7 avatars on a single SBT course.
Thanks for that detail, Gerald! I've shared this with my team and how scenario blocks impact file size. I'll reach out when I have more information or if we need more details from you.
I am having the same issue, I have used 4 characters in a scenario block and the SCORM is over 50MB - too large for our LMS. When I looked into the assets folder there is about 10 poses per character of around 1MB each even though I had only used 3 or 4 poses for each character in the scenario. If it was possible to only download the character images that are used, this might make the scenario block more usable, and perhaps if the file sizes of the characters were also smaller. Hopefully there will be a solution to this issue soon. Please keep us informed.
Hi Leone! Thanks for letting us know you're having the same issue. We don't have updates on this at the moment, but we'll definitely keep you informed if anything changes. You're in the right place!
What actually takes up so much MB? I'm on Rise 360
Typically, videos and Scenario blocks.
Hi Lisa!
Glad to see Karl has been helping you!
I noticed that you've also connected with my teammate Ian, through a support case. It looks like Ian replied to your e-mail, sharing insight on disk size and working with media in Rise 360. We can continue the conversation through your case to keep all information in one spot.
I seem to have the same issue with a rise module with scenario interactions. Is there a workaround for this?
Hello Suzanna!
Do you mind sharing the number of scenario interactions you have? If you duplicate the course and remove a few interactions, do you see the same issue?
In case your SCORM size bloat is due to multimedia, you can make use of a SCORM compressor.
Is it possible to post the solution for this issue here in this blog chat rather than continually referring people to chat individually with a team member through a support case? (in our case, the issue is that when using scenarios with multiple characters, the file size is too large for our LMS when publishing)
