Space used even when using Media Library
Hi Everyone.
I am creating 300 Pick One questions each of which use a full screen image.
All of the images for these questions are being pulled from the Media Library as they already have been imported for the body of the course.
However, each question seems to be adding 200KB. At this rate the space requirement will be an additional 60MB just for the questions.
It seems to be a lot of space given that I am reusing images from the library. I would have thought that by reusing images, their memory size would not impact on the memory size of the questions.
Is this the way it should be?
Hello Sylvia!
The size of the project will depend on what type of question slides you're adding. Adding media to each slide will increase the file size even if you're reusing the media from the Media Library.
What you're noticing is expected. Let me know if you have additional questions!
Thank you for responding so quickly.
Cheers,
Sylvia
Hey Sylvia and Lauren!
It seemed like in earlier instances of Storyline, as long as you arent cropping/changing the image on each slide, it shouldn't cause file size changes based on adding the same image from media library (only file size changes based on other things you add) to the .story file. But once you publish it, those images in media library are all pulled for each use, causing the size to increase.
I was testing it a bit myself, but was not 100% certain about the results I was seeing. Thanks Lauren for the knowledge!
