Screenshots from imported ppt.

Dec 03, 2014

Hi everyone,

I'm new to Storyline and am noticing that my screenshots from the PowerPoint that was imported look a little blurry. Can someone share some insight?

 

Thanks

Hi Shanna,

Are they blurry while you're editing within Storyline or during the preview/publish process? Storyline does some compression of elements such as images, audio, and media in general and you can change that overall compression within the publish settings. 

  

If it's while you're editing the slide itself, have you looked into the difference in the Storyline story size vs. the Powerpoint slide size? Is the image being scaled, minimized, etc. to fit within it? You may want to also look into the file type of the image and try a different type such as a png.

Hi Shanna,

Are you able to insert the image directly into Storyline instead of importing from Powerpoint? That may help ensure it's scaled correctly for your story size instead of just drawing in from what Powerpoint used. I saw an issue the other day where if you had cropped or adjusted the image within Powerpoint, and then imported that into Storyline, Storyline still respects the original image size and therefore may stretch or scale incorrectly. If you have the image, you can insert directly into Storyline and then crop there as needed.

Hi Shanna,

Glad that suggestion worked for you! If they don't have Storyline on their computer, you'll need to send them a published version of the course to review. You may want to use a publish to Word version, or publish for web and use one of the free platforms mentioned in this article as a testing site.
