Storyline 2: Where's the setting to prevent video compression?
The "What's New" list for SL2 says I can keep videos from being compressed during publishing. But I don't see how. The Publish Quality window looks the same as in SL1, with the Video Quality slider...

Thanks for the link to more info, Brian. As I said previously, it seems that Articulate is making the no-compression feature user-UNfriendly. It's easy to ask for .mp4 videos, but if I have to start requesting special compression profiles... :-(
Hi Judy,
Most mobile devices can handle MP4 videos with a baseline, high, and main profile. Once you venture outside of those profiles, the mobile support on both iOS and Android devices dwindles considerably.
When we implemented the feature in Studio '13, we tested hundreds of MP4 videos. Looking back at my notes, we only found a few videos that weren't encoded with those three profiles. Instead of having those files not play in your output, we encode them.
