Hi Jürgen,
did you save and exit the changes in the video editor window or did you just close it?
There is one more fact, which is important. I work at an insurance company and for us as "normal" users, we have generally no admin-rights on the (business-) notebooks. It's because of the VAIT! Do you have admin-rights on your machine ?

yes>Do you have admin-rights on your machine ?
yesnow the test without admin-rights - Storyline 3.65 and Windows 10
- create a new empty storyline file
- import a 2 min mp4 file (with audio)
- Edit Video
- brightness +50%
- close window
- save
=> ERROR
now the same pc "open storyline.exe" as admin
=> Storyline, stops direct after start screen
So this video function is not usable on company computer !!!- Jürgen_Schoene_Community Member
now the test without admin-rights with Storyline 3 (Demoversion) and Windows 10
no problems

Hi Jürgen,
thanks for your tests. :-)
My IT-Collegues had testet the function either ...
@ John Morgan:
... our IT-Experts found the bug (perhaps): the "encoder.exe (or encoder-5.exe)" is being copied from the "program"-directory to the "user/appdata/..."-directory and storyline tries to start it from there:
%OSDRIVE%\USERS\047584\APPDATA\LOCAL\TEMP\ARTICULATE\STORYLINE\6EMFZKFE0W
for details see the screenshot-attachment!
Our policies don't allow the start from executable-files from the "user/appdata"-directory!!!
Please discuss this finding with your developer(s).
Do you have any solution, which fits our needs (no admin-rights)?
