    Hi Nicole,
    Were you able to share the source on this one? I know how to do the screencasts but would love to see how you integrated the menu!

      Hi Lisa - I don't have this one available for download, however I can tell you that each lesson in the menu is a separate scene which includes the screen recording for that task. The menu is just rectangle shapes with the name of the lesson and a Hover and Visited state. Each rectangle links to the associated scene. That is how it was done :)

    Hi Nicole!
    Thank you a great example! May I ask a question: I have to create a software simulation but unfortunately screen recording function doesn't work in my Storyline system (something like "Unexpected or Erratic Behavior in Articulate Storyline 2"). I've created the case of the error but while I'm waiting for fixing this bug I'd like to know is it possible to use screenshots and animate/trigger them in order to behave in a similar way? Or maybe I can use other screen recording software and then incorporate it to Storyline? What do you think? Is there any options for this?
    Thank you so much in advance and hope to hear.
    Kind regards,
    Olga

      Hi Olga - Sorry to hear you've run into this issue with the screen recorder! You might want to check out this link, in case you haven't seen it: https://articulate.com/support/article/unexpected-or-erratic-behavior-in-articulate-storyline-2

      I dont think working with another screen recording software will work well for you if you want to do step-by-step slides with captions that show how to use a website or application. You certainly COULD use static screenshots and add hotspots, and interactivity, over top of it, but it would take a lot more time than simply using the Screen Recorder. Hopefully you can follow the steps at the above link to troubleshoot your SL2 and get the Recorder working for you!!

    Hi!

    Which font are you using for the continue button and for the other text in the "Edit Your Profile" square? =)

    Very simple and beautiful design by the way! =)

    This is great! I understand that the screen recording was done using Articulate's screen recording functionality. I do have a question there...what was your screen resolution set to in order to capture the web? I have a widescreen monitor and struggle with getting a finished product that captures what I need and is legible.

      Hi Kristopher! The slide I was working with in storyline is 720 x 540 however I find when I record at that size, if I ever show the course in the full browser view, it quickly becomes blurred and pixelated. So with that in mind, I doubled the screen area from the slide, and recorded at 1140 x 1080. This way it still has the same aspect ratio but I can show the course in a larger screen or full browser and still retain the cripsness of the recording. Hope this helps! Let me know if there's additional questions.
