Voice-over narration for videos
I've had pretty much this exact same situation before.
In my experience, it was a lot better to cut each video/relevant audio together in some other software (in my case I used Camtasia, not iMovie), publish that content as one video, and then import that file containing both audio and video into storyline.
I found the end content worked a lot better when it was done this way, because the audio and video was never at risk of getting out of sync due to any of the files lagging within the storyline file. Whereas if you just have one video and it lags, the audio and visual content still stays in sync.
Thanks EricSchaffer-d1 and Michelle_Eire. Everything working fine so far, except SL keeps crashing when I try to add my videos to the media library. So I gave up and am just grabbing them from the hard drive. That ever happened to you, and did you ever find a fix for it?
Hi ryardumian_pdx!
Great to see the community has been helping you!
I'm sorry to hear that Storyline is crashing when adding videos to your Media Library. That shouldn't be happening! Do the crashes occur with a specific media file, or across all files you attempt to add? Also, are you receiving any error messages after the crash?
If a repair of your Storyline installation doesn't improve the issue, please connect with our team privately through a support case.
They'd be happy to continue troubleshooting with you!
I do find in general that 360 is more prone to a random crash when my .story files get very large (which happens quickly when adding video files). I adjusted the autosave frequency to every 5 minutes to minimize the amount of work lost.
