I'm starting to create new story files that include a simulation. What I see is that I need to set the recording size to 1024 x 768 so I can capture all parts of the screen in the simulation.
What's the best story size so that the slide content nor the simulation will appear blurry? 1024 x 768? The default story size (720 x 540)?
When it's feasible to do so, I go ahead and set my story size to the size of the recording. I did a project with many screencasts. To make it easy, I set my story size to 1440 x 900. That's the size of my full screen monitor. All of my screencasts fit perfectly on the slides.
There is a downside to this. If you plan on using the default storyline markers, you cannot resize them. The larger your story, the smaller your markers appear.

Hi Robert,
I'd also echo's Preston's thoughts that recording the screen and using the same story size should help prevent too much scaling (either larger or smaller).
