Publish to Video

An entire document or an entire storyboard can be selected to be published to three kinds of video formats. They are MP4, AVI, and WMV. You can publish your document or storyboard to a local folder, or to YouTube and Facebook to share with others.

Note: The Windows Media Player 11 or newer version is required for playing the WMV output file.

Tip: Use the Mobile Performance command to check performance of the video output on specific mobile devices.
