Best Video Dimensions and Export Settings for Articulate Storyline (Premiere Pro)

Hi AnnaSagrista,

Is 960 × 540 px still the recommended export resolution for Storyline?

1920x1080 is the ideal resolution in most cases.

What export settings in Premiere Pro have you found work best for Storyline projects?

Custom, H.264, 1920x1080, 30fps, Progressive, Square Pixels, High, 4.2, VBR 2-Pass, 5Mpbs on the low end and 10Mbps on the high end especially if you are screen recording with small text where detail is required, AAC, 48 kHz, 192 kbps. This should give you a good starting point.

Are there any best practices for maximizing video quality and avoiding blurry text, graphics, or screen recordings after publishing?

Disabling Storyline's compression on a per-video basis. There is no project-wide setting. Record in a resolution that matches the output resolution. Use zoom animations to increase the size of what you are actively demonstrating.

Have you noticed any limitations or compression issues in Storyline that I should account for when exporting videos?

No, but one thing I would be aware of is making sure you keep a manageable file size. If you are including many video clips, you might want to check that you're not approaching the size limit of your LMS.

Hope this helps!
