Video file sizes increasing when Rise SCORM file is exported
Hi. Rise is increasing my video file sizes when I export a SCORM file. I have tried uploading various resolutions and compression settings, but the smallest video file Rise creates is still 50% larger than the smallest file I can output with a tolerable quality. The info below gives an example of what I am experiencing - here testing with various file sizes/resolutions to see how Rise compresses it...
1. My video: 540p, MP4, 20.8MB --- Rise 'compresses' to a 31.3MB 540p file
2. My video: 1080p, MP4, 786MB --- Rise compresses to a 52.5MB 720p file
3. My video: 720p, MP4, 411MB --- Rise compresses to a 56.2MB 720p file
I have seen this issue reported in other threads but without any resolution that I can see (I do not want to embed video content e.g. with Vimeo, nor do I have the resources to manually replace all the video content in my courses with my smaller files every time I publish a SCORM file).
Please can you advise if this is still something that is being investigated and when a resolution is expected (the option to use the actual uploaded video file without compression would solve this, as in Storyline)? Also is there any known workaround using the current Rise workflow (e.g. if I were to upload a 540p video with a specific bitrate, the Rise compression would actually produce a smaller video)? BTW I am using Adobe Media Encoder to output my videos.
Thanks for your help,
Peter
