Video resolution is 720p.

Hi all!

Is there any way at all to have the videos be 1080p resolution in the final product? Rise is down-res'ing them to 720p.  These are low-motion videos that could easily be 1080p and maintain the same file-size. It limits utility for dense diagrams and software demonstrations.

  • Hi Mike! We have a new, helpful tip for maintaining high resolution video quality in your lessons:

    If you'd like a video to keep its specific file format and not undergo compression, you can opt-out of image optimization on a case-by-case basis. Just add _NOPROCESS_ to the name of your video file. It'll upload and display exactly as you saved it.

    * Keep in mind, using this method bypasses transcoding and compression, so learners may encounter issues with playback across different devices. File size limits still apply.

  • For my latest Rise project, I ended up replacing the videos in the tincan with low-bitrate 1080p versions.  The final product is better for it, but maintenance will be complicated.

  • Hi there, Mike! Thanks for following up with how you solved this. While it's not ideal, replacing the videos in the published output file seems to be the best solution.
     
    I've seen the same workaround shared in a similar discussion:
    The workaround if just using Rise (as has already been stated by others on this forum) is to manually swap out the videos in the published SCORM file for your own optimised versions of the videos, retaining the naming conventions of the published videos.
