Every time I try to copy or duplicate a slide by right-clicking on a slide in the "scenes" panel on the left and doing down to "copy" or "duplicate", I get a Storytime Error Report. Is this an already known issue? Is there another way to copy or duplicate a slide without right-clicking on the slide in the "scenes" panel?
You can export a version of your screen recordings as an MP4 file, then insert that file into another course. Here's a tutorial on exporting your screen recording as an MP4 file.
I'm getting a similar error message when trying to duplicate a slide in a test mode recording. The error message I get is "Storyline Error Report. We're sorry, something went wrong with Storyline and it might close..." So far, Storyline has not closed when this happens. I'll try the work around posted above, but my recording is huge, so it takes a long time to import.
Pretty sure it's a bug that will hopefully be resolved soon. I've been importing the slides into a new scene and moving the slide I want to the existing scene. It's a pain, but seems to be working.
I just tried three different ways to copy or duplicate a slide - apparently the bug regarding the error message you get has not been addressed in well over a year and a half. Anyone get any type of information from Articulate product support? I can't find a thing on this issue except theses posts.
What update of Storyline are you using? We're currently on update 4, which this post was in the timeframe that update 1 was available.
I tried copying and duplicating a slide from a screen recording, and I didn't receive an error message. I also was able to add that slide into the same scene or a new scene.
If Storyline is behavior oddly for you, I'd check the following in addition to what update you're using:
Work on your local drive (your C: drive).Working on a network drive or a USB drive can cause erratic behavior, includingfile corruption, loss of audio, and other unexpected behavior.
You should also make sure the directory pathto your project files and your published output is less than 260 characters(for example C:\Articulate).
Avoid using special characters, accents orsymbols in your file names.

Hey Keith!
Sorry for the trouble. Is this the message you're getting?:
It's a known issue. It'll be fixed in the next software update for Storyline. In the meantime, do the following to avoid the issue:
Hi Peter,
Thank you for the quick reply. I will give the workaround you provided a try. I'm looking forward to the next Storyline update.

What if I want to copy/paste a screen-recording into another course?
Hi Ira,

Let me know if this helps!
Sort of helps. It does export the recording, but none of the captions or annotations.
