Images not copying when copying slide masters/layouts from one project to another in Storyline

Jul 11, 2023

I'm having an issue copying slide layouts to new projects. The images in the masters/layout aren't copying correctly. The image frame copies, but loses the image, renaming as 'Picture 1'. Replacing the image in the frame in the copied layout does not work. The image name reappears in the timeline, but the image does not appear in the frame, and the frame then becomes un-selectable.

Any assistance greatly appreciated.

Hi David,

Thanks for taking the time to share what you're seeing, and I'm sorry you ran into this.

We have an open issue in Storyline 360 where images don't copy over when copying slide masters. I'll share your findings with the team and notify you of any changes. Here's a peek into our process:

In the meantime, I've found that a possible workaround is copying the slide objects rather than the slide master. Let me know if you have questions!

Hi, Erin!

Thanks for reaching out and I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing this issue. Currently, I don't have an update on this. One workaround in the meantime is to copy and paste the objects directly from one project to another.

If you have additional questions, please don't hesitate to reach out and we'll be happy to help!
