Video encoding during publish
A .story file with 4 mp4 videos. Usually, when I publish, the entire course publishes in about 30 seconds.
Occasionally, the publish dialog takes much longer and shows "encoding video ..." for ea...
There's a side issue that publishing with mp4 video will occasionally abort Storyline. The fix I found elsewhere in the forum was if you're running DropBox desktop, Pause it. Something about DropBox locking the output folder can cause Storyline to abort.
Still, I'd like to know why the publish time sometimes takes so much longer when the mp4s need to be encoded and not other times.

THANK YOU! Pausing Dropbox worked for me.
