When will storyline utilize multiple cores and threads?

Hiya,

Storyline is horribly slow, when will it be recoded to support additional cores and threads.

8 cores, 8 additional threads on my AMD r7 1700 CPU - and Storyline only uses 1 core and 0 threads. Same deal with Intel CPU's.

  • Hi Everyone!

    Great news! I'm happy to share that we just released Storyline 360 (version 3.82.31354.0), which includes a new 64-bit version of Storyline 360! Harness the processing power in modern computers with 64-bit Storyline 360. Large, media-rich courses benefit from increased stability and faster performance!

    To use 64-bit Storyline 360, please update your Articulate 360 desktop app, then click the Install button next to the Storyline 360 app with the 64-bit and beta labels. The Install button will change to an Open button when the installation is complete.

    This was highly requested, so we hope it serves you in your course creation! If you run into any snags, don't hesitate to contact our team in a support case.

  • Hey there, Asbjørn!

    It sounds like a 64 bit (x64) version of Storyline would suit your needs better. We've been tracking that request, so I'll add your vote to that list. If we add this version in the future, we'll let you know!

    It's so frustrating to have an i9 processor with 32GB of RAM and watch storyline build a preview of my project using 10% of the processor and taking 10 minutes to build... PLEASE add multi-core support or fix whatever has this application bottlenecking my workflow.

      Well I have installed Storyline x64. Most of my cores are ideling, when I publish my storyline as a video. 6 min (1920x1080) video takes about 20-30 minutes to render. My CPU is running at about 10-15% utilization.

        Hi Antti, 

        Happy to look into this for you!

        Would you be willing to share a copy of your video file here or in private by opening a support case so we can check how long it will take us to publish the same video? Comparing our publishing results will help isolate if the issue is with the 64-bit version of Storyline 360, or if it is specific to the computer publishing the video. 

        Looking forward to your response!
