Video compression

I believe that "don't re-compress" only works with MP4 files.

Thanks Ken. I hope that someone from Articulate can confirm this because I will need to convert. At the same time, there was a time when I added a MP4, but it still didn't give me the option. Maybe it is a bug?

Hi Kai,

Ken is correct - it only works for MP4 files, and it'll apply to the three most common MP4 profiles: baseline, main, and high. If the Compression property is grayed out in Storyline, it means your video was created with a different profile.  

Hello,

I am having the same issue, but I upload an MP4 file. What do you mean by "your video was created with a different profile"? I create videos in Camtasia. I need to change the compression setting as it affects the quality of the videos. 

I found this page, but I don't understand what I have to do.

Thank you!

Hi Nassia!

I'm happy to help here. When producing your MP4 file in Camtasia, you should see a field called H.264 profile in the Video Settings. Try selecting Main or High.

Hey Eric,

Thank you so much - yes it worked but... the course is now massive and cannot upload to our LMS. Can't have it all, can I? 

Cheers,

Nassia
