Apply Master Slide to Screen Recording?
Jul 13, 2012

Hello.
Probably real simple, but I can't figure this out. I have a Master Slide (has my background, Main Menu button, Quit button). I want to apply this to my scene which has a screen recording. When I apply that layout to my screen recording slides, it won't take.
I want to be able to have my background default and buttons (I am not using the default player, built my own controls) applied to the slides where I have a screen recording.
Can this be done? Any help appreciated! Thanks.

Does anyone know why I wouldn't have the options shown above in story size...I am desperate to get my slide master elements to appear on the "try it" slides and cannot figure out how to resize those types of slides. It's as if the screenrecording is "fused" to the background. Thanks in advance for any advice and guidence.
one more thing to add - the "Hide Background Graphics" checkbox is unchecked - so the items should show (shouldn't they). Again many thanks.
Hi Jennifer!
Have you tried to adjust the value? The Storyline 2 window presents you with further selection as you progress through via the back/next buttons as you can see in your window.
Hi Jennifer! Looks like we may have been sending responses at the same time. Do you have a .story file that we could take a look at?
Yes, thanks for checking, I have tried everything the dialog box allows me - I chose a preset value and I do get the crop or resize option - but that would adjust the whole thing (not the canvas) and I don't want that.

here is my file example - getting used to how to do this - thanks for the guidence
The options you are looking for appear when you type or use the up/down arrows to set a custom value, not when you select a pre-set value from the drop down.
I actually never see those options, even when using a custom size - all I get is "fill the screen" and crop or scale to fit (depending if I try sizing up or down.) I wonder if it has something to do with creating a new file? is there something i missed in the initial setup?
Hi Jennifer,
When you conduct a screen recording and insert it using "step by step" slides it does become a part of the background of the slide and you can't adjust it's overall size. If you need additional space around the screen recording you'll either want to adjust the screen recording size prior to recording to be smaller than the story size, or after you've done the recording, adjust the story size to be larger than the original size. You won't be able to adjust the location on the screen of the screen recording, so you may want to play with the sizing to get it just right.
Thanks a ton Gerry! We were facing the similar issue and did not know how to resolve this. You have been a great help! Regards...
