Set the Story Size and Resolution
I saw a tutorial in which the designer set the story size and resolution to 1024X600 for a project. He tweaked as needed. Is it necessary to change the story size and resolution for each project? How do you know when to do this?

This is the best thread for Storyline 360 Storyline Size Setup.
I'll re-enforce what has already been said, use a size of 1920x1080 for best SCORM output results. This is regardless of what content you originate with. If you are using PowerPoint slides, both, 4:3 and 16:9 will import great, with excellent clarity.
This.
Modern tablets and phones are based around 16:9 HD, and PC-users have bigger and bigger screens. 1080i/p seems to me to be the best resolution to avoid pixelation when viewing courses at larger monitors, and will "future-proof" your courses until 4K will be the norm (which probably would be a waste on smartphones due to the small screen).Hi Tom! I want to work with 1920x1080 size on my articulate project, but my images turn out blurry, even though my background images are photoshopped pieces exported to 1920x1080 size with 96 resolution.
Any advice for better image clarity?
I have a few questions on story size:
What are pros and cons of using a higher resolution story size? I'm thinking of going to 1024x768, or maybe 1440x1080. (I want to keep 4x3 aspect)
Pros: Are bitmap images sharper? I assume text and vectors render to screen res?
Cons: The player will size to the device, right? including lower res devices (say chromebooks).
If the story size is higher rez, will file size for bitmaps be larger? Can this become a performance issue if you're using lots of bitmaps?
thanks!
Hello Karim,
Would you mind sharing a copy of your Storyline (*.story) project file with us here so I can take a look at your image files? The slide size of your course matches the resolution of your images, so we do not expect the images to get blurry in that scenario. Here's our article on best practices to achieve the highest quality for media files:

If you feel more comfortable sharing your project file in private, you can reach out to our support team here to create a case.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
