Default shape settings does not apply to captions added on Record Screen

Hey Soren,

Like you mentioned, Storyline allows you to change the default color of your captions, but there isn't a way to modify the default shape of the caption. I do think that would be a time-saving feature to add to Storyline in future updates, so I'd be happy to pass along the idea for you!

What I would suggest for now is to customize the first caption manually, then use format painter to apply the customization to the rest of the captions. 

This is a pretty important and time-saving feature for eLearning. Imagine you have to create the see, do, try type of training, and each time you create them, you have to then go use format painter across 100s of slides. There are many things to like about Storyline, not having "style sheets" for recording objects is not one of them. I would advise your dev team to add a button to the pre-recording wizard that allows you to select and design captions for your captures. The options should be all inclusive for both fill and border options. The same thing goes for the text option in captions. Why do my capture captions have to come out with shadow text ??? It's not the 90s anymore.

I have stopped using Articulate Storyline for this because there is so much manual, stupid labor involved after the fact.

I use Camtasia and “screencast” instead, then use a few still images to build a simple simulation.
