Removing white space below and above a screencast

Hi Kellie!

Great question! There are two ways to approach this. The first is to change the Player by using the Modern Player. The second is by changing the Story Size to the dimensions of the screen recording. I've created a demo for you walking through both approaches. Here's the link.

Thank you, Lauren.

Where would I find the "Modern Player' functionality? Our software is Storyline 3. Also, my dimensions do not stay at 660 x 250 after being changed. Is it possible to do a zoom call - I can send you a link so I can share my screencast and ask a few questions?

Thank you,
Kellie

Hi Kellie,

Thanks for following up and sharing those additional details! Unfortunately, the Modern Player is only in Storyline 360, so you will not be able to use that function in Storyline 3. 

It is odd that Lauren's second suggestion in regards to adjusting your story size is not saving. I've opened a case on your behalf with our support engineers to take a closer look at this and provide additional guidance! 

Once they're done testing your file, they'll reach out with next steps!

Hi,

I'm also having a problem with white space above and below the screencast.

Hello, I am having this same issue, has there been any updates to this?  If so can you please share those with me.  thank you.

Hi Rosie,

Thanks for reaching out and letting us know that you are experiencing a similar issue.

I was able to look at the cases for both Kellie and Mike, and the update is to be sure that your screen recording is the same size as your story size.

If you're experiencing a different issue or you'd still like our team to take a look, please share your project file with our support engineers here. It will be deleted when troubleshooting is complete.

thank you!!! I got it.  I was not matching the slide to the recording.  Everything is as expected.

Hello,

Our company uses Storyline 3, and I am still experiencing the same issues of my screencast showing white space below and above the screencast when inserted in my module.

Is there a way to have the screencast cover the entire slide? I inserted an image below what it looks like after I inserted the screencast.

Is there a functionality I should be selecting before or after the screencast to ensure it covers the entire slide?

Thank you for your help,
