When trying to do screencast (record screen) of a PowerPoint presentation, I can't get the slide to be properly framed in the Replay recording window. I've set PowerPoint slide show to "open in new window" ... have changed Replay window size, have changed PowerPoint slide size... no luck.
Hi, Nancy -- Thanks for your question and sorry to hear of your difficulties! Have you had a chance to take a look at this discussion on importing a PPT into Replay? You may also find this information on using Replay to be of assistance, as well.
Thanks for the message. Yes, I have checked the sites you referenced… it all looks so simple in the tutorials; however, when I follow the instructions -- the screencast and my PowerPoint slide just don’t line up.
It looks right when I do the re-sizing, etc etc. But then when I click “record” the actual recording area is different – obscuring some of my PowerPoint slide! I’m so bummed. Was hoping this could be my “go-to” tool for sure. Have used Articulate for years and have not had this kind of problem before. I’m using PowerPoint 2016 – not sure if that makes a difference???
I finally got it to work ... it had to do with a display setting on my PC. It was recommended that items display at 150% (for easy viewing of apps, etc). However, this is NOT the right setting for the Articulate Replay. When I set display for 100%, it works fine. Yeah. Not sure if this is noted anywhere else in the support pages, but think it is worth mentioning in case anyone else has the problem of trying to get the slides to fit and have WYSIWYG
