Recording settings

Feb 04, 2016

I am using the recording feature to capture screen shots, for some reason when I pull the recording into Articulate - the screen shot is not the full size of the page. Previously it was. I believe I changed a setting, but can't figure out which one.

What setting do I need to change to ensure the size of the recording is the full screen?

Hi Robin!

Do you mean that you need to adjust the size of your screen recording? 

To adjust the size of your recording area, drag the sizing handles on the dashed outline or use the drop-down list on the control bar to select preset dimensions. To adjust the position of your recording area, just drag it to a new location on the screen.

Here are some helpful tips for sizing your recording window:

  • To optimize your screencast so it fills the entire slide, be sure the size of your recording window matches your slide size.
  • The largest screen recording area that's supported is 2046 pixels by 2046 pixels.

Thanks! But not the issue.

What happened is that I captured the screens in one project and in that project – the size of the screen was the entire frame. However, when I copied those frames into a different project, the size of the screen shots were smaller – restrained to the middle of the page. See attached for example.

Even now when I try to recapture the screens in a new project they default to the middle of the page. I am trying to figure out how to insert them into a project at the full size of the screen (as the other ones in that project are already). Thanks for any ideas.

Please find attached a sample of my project, I've highlighted the issue within the project. Thanks so much!
