Camtasia 8 & Articulate Studio 9 - Screen sizes

Hi Trudy,

Welcome to Heroes. Have you tried the Record Screen option within Storyline? With regards to the video, what is the exact size? Have you tried to have the video launch in a separate window? Would that be an option for you?

Always Happy to Help,

Adrian

Thanks, but I do not own Storyline. My video size that I am trying to accomplish is 1024 X 768. Those are my screen dimensions. The video looks fine in Screencast but not in Articulate. Just wondering if anyone else is successful in doing full screen Camtasia recordings and using Articulate to publish. Thanks

Hey Trudy

I'd recommend starting by checking out the articles below for advice and best practices:

Here is a brief video tutorial describing this process:

Hi Trudy,

I think I went from one Storyline question to yours and even though I saw Presenter, I still put Storyline. Oops. Pete picked up the slack though so that's good. Let us know how it goes.

Thanks guys, I was able to use the full size video by making a small change in Articulate. After importing the MP4 there are three options on how to display it. I had been using the default and didn't pay attention to the other options...

After I changed from "displaying in slide" to "displaying in new browser window" all was good.... didn't have to re-record!

But in the future I will use the recorording recommendations of either 720 x 540 for the standard Articulate view or 980 x 580 when not using a side bar.... (just in case others are looking for the maximum sizes).

THANKS!

Glad to hear it, Trudy And thanks for sharing the details for others!

When not using the sidebar, I've seen 980 x 540, 560, 580 recommended. 

Is 980 x 580 the "official" maximum?

Thank you!
