Resize Try Recording

Nov 01, 2013

Is there a way to resize a 'Try' recording?  In looking at the settings I used it is identical to another recording.  One fills the player completely, the second does not?  Thoughts?

Thanks

Hi David,

Typically when you start a screen recording, the size is set to the same as your Story size, and will then take up the entire slide. In a Step by Step mode, there isn't a way to resize the screen as that would adjust the mouse movements and captions as well. You could look at Tutorials > Choosing a Story Size">changing the Story size. This way, when you insert the Step-By-Step recordings, there will be more space available and the content will have a larger display. 

Additionally, what I would suggest doing is find your ideal Story Size, then record your Step-By-Step recordings at a smaller size to provide some extra space, and then it will insert within a smaller section of your slide.  You can find more information about how to edit screen recordings here and the difference between Video on single slide and Step by step.
