Premier Pro meets YouTube meets Articulate #24
Whilst exploring the virtues of iSpring, it dawned on me the increasing power that YouTube has with regard to e-learning. Up until very recently any e-learning content tended to shy away from linking to other parts of the web, but now that the internet is truly mobile this is becoming less and less of a problem. Just look at this video. 3 minutes of footage at High Definition (1080p - 180mb!) uploaded to YouTube in 3 minutes! No hosting issues, fast, reliable and available anywhere and any time. It looks like iSpring does it seamlessly, whilst Articulate does it with a bit of a work-around (Gabe Anderson has a Screenr that shows you how). I am betting that the new version of Articulate will have this as a feature in their next release of Articulate Studio.
Lesson #7 - Encode twice
Encoding video is a bit of a black art! Ideally, if you are streaming video over the web aiming for a max file size of 10mb improves the performance of your learning object. To get a piece of video to this optimum can involve some tweaking. The first stage is to reduce the bit rate. This usually does the trick. However, the downside of this is that videos can be prone to “sticking”. To get over this try changing the encoding pass setting from ONCE to TWICE.
