I'm using the Change Story Size in Storyline 2 to reduce the size of my course.
I choose the crop option and set the new size and position the crop frame, and apply to all slides.
I want all screen elements to stay the same size, I just want the stage to reduce in size. The images remain at their original size but the text scales down regardless of the text box autofit settings.
How do I get the crop option to NOT scale the text?
The story size is something that we recommend setting before starting a project due to the fact that items may need to be rearranged or resized as explained in this tutorial.
I am not aware of a way to prevent this from happening.
Hi, Nick -- This thread is somewhat older, but if I am understanding your question correctly, it appears to pose a similar question and there is a suggestion you can try. Please let us know if that will do the trick for you or if you have something else in mind. :)
Unfortunately we have a whole bunch of courses that were built at a particular size , and now ideally need to be resized so that we can use the Player side menu and transcript field. The area we're cropping off was previously used for a custom transcript area that we no longer need, so cropping wouldn't interfer with the content, except that all of the text shrinks.
It looks like we'll have to go through each course and resize the text back up to its original size manually.
I had already tried changing the Auto fit settings but this makes no difference, neither does setting the font size in master slides or trying to apply font themes before or after the crop.
