I used the screen recording to capture a series of screen shots for software training using standard 4:3 ratio and step-by-step view mode. I then imported the slides I wanted from the series into my course shell, which is a (wider) custom size because I wanted the screen shot on the right and some explanatory text on the left bar. However, when I import them in, they are centered. Sincethe screen shots are not a draggable image, is there a way for me to right align those screen shots? See attached example. Thank you!
I am pretty familiar with formatting, but I don't believe this is an image. So, to clarify:
1) I used record screen to capture step by step actions.
2) I want those step by step actions embedded into a template I made that is LARGER than the screen capture itself, so I can have text explanation on the left.
3) I open to template I made, that is wider than the 4:3 which I used to capture/
4) I import my captured slides
5) The screen shots center themselves in the slides, and I want it right aligned.
2) The resulting slides from the record screen (step by step actions) do NOT show the screen as an image, so I don't understand how to format it.
The fundamental question here is what type of object is the screen capture? The mouse action is an action path, a short video shows the click, etc, and those objects in the screen capture can be manipulated, formatted. The underlying screen shot can NOT, as far as I can see?

Hi, Anne -- Thanks for reaching out here! My apologies if I am not clear on what you have in mind, but may I ask if you have had a chance to see the information here on Storyline 2: Formatting Pictures, Screenshots, and Characters?

Hi Anne - you are correct. The step by step slides are individual screen recording elements that become a part of your background.
