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...
Yes, I've already said I can trim it externally. But then it has to be re-inserted, resized, and placed back in the exact position. For a PPt with 50+ video clips in it, all of them needing trimming, that's a crazy amount of work.
I've found out more info about the original PPt. So, the background video that was shot on a video camera can be trimmed in Storyline fine. It is the narrator video that won't trim properly. It was produced by recording the presentation slide by slide directly into PowerPoint. So I'm guess PPt may do its own sort of compression?
I will attach one of the clips here. I am simply saving it out from PPt as an .mp4, which is the only choice.
What would be the ultimate time-saver would be for Storyline to be able to see those in and out points on the PPt embedded videos and give you a choice whether you want to trim them when importing. I know that would take a lot of processing, but it would be worth it. Feature request!
