I am fairly new to using the Storyline software and wondered of anyone could help me, I have created some screen recordings and wanted them to have the same look as the rest of the training package.
How do I go about changing the layout so it has the same template ?
When you conduct a screen recording in Storyline if you insert it as a step by step, it will be included as a part of the slide background - so depending on the story size you record at and your overall story size you may cover up any other elements added to the background/within your template. You can use elements of the player template still though - as that will sit around the screen recording.
Is there a specific element you're looking to include in your screen recording?
I am creating online system training and have a screen recording of the task I want the learner to complete. The screen recording doesn't appear to fit the whole slide, however the template will still not show up in the slides.

When you insert a screen recording as step by step slides it becomes a part of your slide background, and therefore may obscure elements that you've included as a template. If you've sized the screen recording to be smaller than the story size, you should still be able to see particular elements - but if that is not working, I suspect we'd want to take a look at how your slide is set up and offer some specifics based on that.
I had this same question and was able to show my template by going to the Design tab, then un-checking the Hide Background Graphics option. If your screen recording is sized appropriately, it may fit within your template.
Hi, Paul -- Many thanks for stopping into share the solution that worked for you! Hopefully it will help others who encounter this discussion in the future, as well. :)
