Storyline 2 - Black screen at start and end of video screen recordings

May 18, 2015

Hi there,

We've been using the trial of Storyline 2 to test the screen recordings feature. It works great on PC and via the Articulate Mobile Player. However we also need it to work via HTML5 on Android/iPad devices.

Having recorded the screens and inserted them in the 'Try-Me" mode, the problem is each segment of the screen recording appears black at the beginning [plays once interacted with], then appears black at the end.

Is there a way to resolve this?

Cheers,

Paul

Hi, Paul - 

Would you be able to provide your file here so we can take a look, please? In the meantime, there are a few things we can try first to rule out some common issues. Please make sure you are working locally as described here, and you may want to try importing the file into a new file. If you are still having issues, you might want to try to repair Storyline. 

Additionally, are you running the most recent update? Please ensure that you are using Update 5

Hi, Paul - Yes, you would be able to install Update 5 while using the trial version. And you have 2 options to submit your file confidentially for review:

You can use this link to submit it privately to me and I will see if I can help you, or you can work directly with our Support Team and use this form to submit it for review. Either way, confidentiality is always held in the highest regard. :)

Hi,

I am having issues with a black screen appearing at the end of my video.  I have tried adding a screenshot to replace the black screen.  Also, I am using the most recent version of Camtasia and Storyline.  I have added the attachment.

 

Oh, this is my first Camtasia video.
