In this, the third of a five-part series on adding video to your Adobe Captivate eLearning project, I review YouTube Slide Video, I provide you with the features and benefits of this style of adding video and suggest when a good time to use it would be.
nice video. If you don’t mind, I have one query. you said in video, ‘by using youtube video, our file size will be small as video is not residing in our project but in youtube itself” …. correct, BUT, In today’s world, where storage HD comes in tera-bytes, also we have very cheap option of cloud-based saving, does it really matter by decreasing project size by few 100mb ? Please correct me as I might be wrong in my argument. Thanks.
You’re not wrong…for some companies. Some of the issues I’ve run into is corporate networks not set for streaming video. Video performance can be low when the source is the company’s LMS. I’ve had two organisations in the last couple of years who had to use YouTube because trying to embed the video’s directly into the course led to inferior performance. YouTube has some great optimisation algorithms that solved our problems. This video is not an endorsement for one method over another. Remember this is the third of a five-part series that is designed to educate you on the different types. Watch the first two and stay tuned for the other two videos next week.
I salute your in-depth analysis… thanks for sharing your experience & thereby knowledge.
This is a great series. Looking forward to the next one.
Thanks Todd
