Merging projects

I'm having problems merging two projects together. they are both video recordings in view mode. When I import the second project into my first one, a window comes up showing me all the slides to be imported. All slides are already selected just fine and i can see see all my slides with the proper backgrounds. However once I import my slides, my slides now have a white background and the captions and mouse cursor have moved. My video recordings have reduced in size and i cant resize them.
How can i fix this, i need to merge at least 5 separate projects together.
please help.

Siphiwe,
You should be able to simply copy and paste the slides from one project to another (and this will bring over the original recording). Try this...open up both projects (so you have two windows open). Insert your recording into the source project as a single video. Copy that slide, and then paste it over into destination project. Check your screen recordings list. The copied source recording should be there.

Hi Mike,
i have tried but this is not working. I am still getting a white background, the video slides i copy and paste become smaller and i cant re-size the videos.
Is there a way i can just merge the projects together without getting changes in the slides.?
Siphiwe,
Could you post one of your files so we could take a look and test it?

Hi Siphiwe -
Are the projects all the same size? You'll see a white border, spacing when you import a smaller project into a larger project.
If that's not the case and your projects are the same size, let us know and we'll take a closer look at your files!

Could it be a problem with your Master slides that is changing the background? After you import your slides, view the Slide Masters to ensure that the proper master slide layout is being used.
Another thing to try... if you're currently importing Project #2 into Project #1, maybe try the reverse (Project #1 into #2) and see if that makes any difference.
