Poster Frame Image in Rise video
Hi Everyone,
I have a video which I have created/published from SL360, for the purposes of inserting into a Rise course (as a video in a Block (ie not a SL module insert)).
I am going round in circles - simply trying have the video image show before the learner clicks to play. (ie as opposed to a black frame).
I enabled Poster Frame Image when I created in SL, however, I saw this post re PFI not be enabled in Rise (https://community.articulate.com/discussions/rise/rise-video-poster-frame).
As an alternative I added a still image at the start of the timeline in SL and republished, but I just went from a black to a white set frame.
I am sure this must be a very simple thing, but I am stumped.
Thanks Christine
Hi Christine!
Instead of adding a a still image at the start of the timeline in Storyline, try using a video-editing tool like Replay to add the still image. Then, publish as MP4 and upload the video to Rise.
Let me know if that makes a difference!
Hi Alyssa, yes that worked thank you.
It did increase the video file size from 17,500 KB to over 54,000 KB. Most learners will be in regional areas with slow download speeds (1.5 Mbps ave) and as such I am trying to keep file sizes of assets to a minimum. I will compress with a third party app,
but I was wondering if there was a way to control quality settings in Replay to help minimise file sizes?
Thanks again. Christine
Hi Christine,
I know our team was also looking into an issue where videos added into Rise are increasing in size upon export. I'd love to have you video as another example for the team to take a look at!
If you can attach it here, use the Add Attachment button at the bottom of the reply window.
Hi, I just lost more than 30 minutes to edit an entry image into 2 videos. A good old HTML 5 poster attribute in Rise would definitely be a productive plus. :) https://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_video_poster.asp
Hi André,
I'm sorry to hear that this has been such a time suck for you! I'll be sure to add your voice to this feature request.
In the meantime, if there's anything else I can do to help, please let me know!
Please add my voice to this request as well. Thank you.
Please add me as well.
Me too, Allison. Thanks.
+1 for poster images on videos in Rise from me too. This would be a massive time saver and would definitely improve workflow.
+1 for poster images on videos.
+1 for poster images indeed
+1. This seems to be an easy to implement feature with a lot of added value for the users
