Editing Screen Caps as Images
Feb 05, 2015
I searched but found no input on this issue.
In the imperfect world I inhabit, I regularly have to edit screen caps to either manually change text or to redact text with a blur, using PhotoShop. That other tool supports this.
I don't think there is any way to practically do this in Articulate.
I did note that the screen caps seem to be stored a JPGs in the published story_content folder. Editing those JPGs has no effect on the playback, suggesting that the JPGs are embedded in the SWFs? If so, why are the JPGs in the story_content folder? Not sure what purpose they serve. Even if they could be edited, not too practical to go in there after the fact.
I realize I could insert objects to hide parts of the screen but that's more stuff to manage on the timeline. Am I missing an easier way? It's tedious and cumbersome at best but today I am able to limp by copying and pasting/merging.
I have submitted a feature request for direct editing of the screen cap graphic.

Hi Jack,
This is for Storyline 1, but it may help you in terms of hiding sensitive information within the screen recordings.
As always, feature requests are great to have as well!
