Converting View mode to Try me mode
Jun 13, 2012
By
Marie Romani
When editing a recording of my screen I must select either modes, View/Try/Test.
I have quite a few changes in the recording to make, and when having finished the first mode,- View, I would like to use THAT modified version of the recoding as a starting point for my Try mode.
I tried picking up the scene from the Insert/Recording menu - but I always get the "raw" version as a starting point.
I tried duplicating the View mode and find a way to convert it - no luck,
It would save me a lot of time and effort if you could give me some insight in how to do this little trick

Yes, I've been a user with Captivate and it was easier. I'm learning the View and Try modes and wish it was like Captivate.
So...this was identified as an issue 5 years ago and still no solution??? Having this problem now. I have roughly 30 of these to do and I want to do in view, try and test...it's going to take me an eternity to edit each of them three times...
I'm just beginning with the view/try/test modes and am discovering this same issue from 5 years ago and wonder if 360 has any new features that allow me to go from my modified view recording to 'try me' mode?
If not, I guess I just learned how important it is to heavily script and perform steps so NO editing/mods are done to more easily convert from one mode to another!
Hi Donna. You've got it – You can insert the same screen recording multiple times in different modes, but each new instance will refer to the original screen recording. If you've made some tweaks, you'll need to make them again in a new instance.
Hi Crystal,
I have a feeling there hasn't been any progress here, but I just wanted to check before I did the same work another one or two times . . . Has the ability to convert slides from "Try" or "View" or "Test" mode to another mode been added yet? I hate to beat a dead horse, but it is rather depressing that this feature request was made ~6 years ago, and still has no solution. I'm currently in the process of evaluating Articulate 360 alongside Adobe Captivate, and while I love the Rise feature and overall look/feel of the Articulate apps, it's a shame that certain rather important functionality (like this, the ability to copy or have a persistent zoom across slides while editing, etc.) seems to be missing on the Articulate side.
Hi Greg,
Thanks for reaching out, sharing your thoughts, and bringing this back to our attention.
I wanted to share some information about how we manage these feature requests as that may be helpful.
I gathered the ones sent to us so far as well as a couple of conversations, including this one, from the forums so that our team can take a closer look.

This thread was started 7 years ago, and it looks like the functionality is still not possible. That's pretty upsetting.
Is there any update on this? Can I do record once and use it in both View and Test mode without having to record it twice?
Hi, Andreas.
Thank you for reaching out!
The original recording can be inserted as View, Try, or Test Mode.
Once your first recording is done, you can choose it again from the list of videos (under Slides > Record Screen).
You will be presented with the options and will be able to pick a different mode to be used.
Let me know if this helps!
Hi Marie,

Summarised below.
Hi! I will also bump this old post. Any update? Would save a tremendous amount of time!
