Storyline AI text to speech does not export.
Update After working with tech support they were unable to help resolve the issue as they couldn't replicate it.
However... I DID find a simple workaround!
- Create your AI text to speech
- In the timeline, right-click the AI TTS line and select "Show in media library"
- In the media library, it will have a name the same as the text which is really long and causing the issue - change the audio name to something short like tts1, tts2 etc
- To export, while still in the media player, select the line item you want to export, then click the little export button on the bottom right (near the insert audio clip button.)
Hi JustinBurns!
Sorry to hear you've run into this setback when exporting AI Text-to-Speech from Storyline!
This behavior sounds similar to a bug we have logged for Storyline 360. When AI-generated TTS audio is exported, the filename that gets used is based on the audio text, and can be quite long. As a result, Storyline errors can occur if the filename added to the previous file path remembered by Storyline exceeds the Windows file path limit.
Our support engineers would like to dive deeper into this issue with you, so I've opened a support case on your behalf. They should be connecting with you via e-mail shortly! In the meantime, a workaround you may find useful is to export a non-AI TTS file, to a short file path (< 100 characters) first, then export subsequent AI-TTS audio.
We can continue the conversation through your case to keep all information in one spot.
