Storyline can't trim embedded video from PowerPoint import
I have a large PowerPoint that I want to edit in Storyline to produce a presentation I can embed on a web page. Each slide has video of the presenter, and some have a second video b-roll background...
Hi again Gordon!
So every time a video is trimmed or edited, it will compress the video and lose quality. If you do not have access to the original, raw video, it may be hard to continue editing and maintain the quality, hence why it may not be working in Storyline. Please refer to Storyline 360: Best Practices for High-Quality Images and Videos. It states that you should start with high-quality images and videos already correctly sized. Scaling media up or down in your course can cause erratic behavior, especially if your images and videos have text.
If you can get access to the original video, edit it, and then upload it to Storyline, that would work best.
If that's not possible, could you share the video file you have either here or privately in a case? Our engineers can take a look at it. We will delete the video from our system when we are finished testing.
