WebM Video Format Workaround in Storyline 360?
Hi everyone,
I'm currently creating content that will be used as training material within a web app that runs in a custom Chromium build, so MP4 is not supported. I know there isn't a way to chang...
5 years after the initial discussion this has not been adressed, and I yet again find myself really needing support in Storyline for formats natively supported by the Chromium engine.
The workaround posted by Ben still works with a few changes. You have to do the following (for webm support, should work for others as well):
- Convert the mp4 videos to webm (obviously)
- Add webm in the slides.min.js file
- Change video:"flv mov mp4 avi" to video:"flv mov mp4 avi webm"
- Change the file extension for each video in the data.js file. You can also change the videoType and fileSize to match, but the videos will play without doing this
- Change {"kind":"asset","id":38,"videoType":"mp4","width":396,"height":428,"duration":6300,"framerate":30,"fileSize":199892,"asversion":"3","url":"story_content/video_name.mp4"}
to {"kind":"asset","id":38,"videoType":"webm","width":396,"height":428,"duration":6300,"framerate":30,"fileSize":95308,"asversion":"3","url":"story_content/video_name.webm"}
- Change {"kind":"asset","id":38,"videoType":"mp4","width":396,"height":428,"duration":6300,"framerate":30,"fileSize":199892,"asversion":"3","url":"story_content/video_name.mp4"}
I tried posting a feature request to get native support for webm, but got a "The page you're looking for can't be found" error after submitting, so I have no idea if it went through.
