Storyline for live presentations?

Hi Sarah,

Have you tried to go to Player and change the Colour Scheme to get rid of/change the colour?

See http://community.articulate.com/downloads/p/80796.aspx

Set the player to white or transparent as Bruce suggests and put the browser into fullscreen mode

 Hi both

Thanks for the replies. Sorry I meant the actual browser bar title. Maybe I'm missing something on the browser full screen mode, I'll explore that. I guess it is just the expectation that it would show up like Powerpoint with nothing enclosing it.

you can set the browser to fullscreen, which ill get rid of bar, it looks like you have published to CD so you probably cannot get rid of this

Many thanks Phil, that's good!

Yes have republished to 'Web' and it works great in full screen mode in Chrome. It works in IE in full screen too now, F11 in and out, though Chrome seems tidier as if you mouse over the top you get the bar back in IE.

Now all I want is more animation effects, motion paths and formattable bullets (I know bullets are a dirty word, sorry, but they have their place) and I'd be proper happy! ...and would consider changing all our live visuals over to Storyline too....
Any ideas how long that wish list may take to come to fruition?? 

Sarah,

You can always produce these in PowerPoint (for the moment...), exprt as a .ppt video file, and import into Storyline?

Better text editing is a must have.

Your guess is as good as mine, I dont think we w ill have to wait too long (hopefully).

As a version 1 tool it is the best I have ever seen, I think we should let Articulate catch their breath and see what other magic they can produce

Fair enough!

It works very well - the first segment of this was produced entirely as an imported video - you cannot tell the joins before the Screencam starts

Hi Bruce

That looks wonderful. I'll give it a go when I get more time. I did have a quick look at this a couple of weeks back and seem to remember I was confused by output size. But I'll definitely put this on my "playtime" list.

Hi,

I just saved as "Windows Media Video" in PowerPoint 201 - do not remember having to do any settings.

Hi Bruce

Just got my head around this, for lunchtime entertainment, thank you. I'd managed to have the PP file open in an older version so didn't see this option. Now done aok - and I finally twigged that I can crop the video inside of Storyline, that's handy! - I'd been confused about having a full size screen video imported, and had tried resizing the PP slide (a rather backwards way of doing things). So now have it on a layer with a go trigger. This does help for now, cheers.

PI would like to use Storyline for live presentations like Power Point.  This would involve replacing the timeline and recorded audio with manual control of triggers.  How do you manually control animations with a mouse click or keyboard key rather than the timeline?  Is this possible? 

You would need to breakdown the animations and control them with triggers where the action is a key press

Thanks for your quick response.  I guess I am missing a huge chunk of info here but I don't see animation control in the action dropdown list. Attached is a screenshot.  Thanks

If you change an object state from hidden to normal then the animation will trigger. Also you can show layers based on key presses or jump to another slider where the animation plays.

As it is not really a presentation tool it is not set up to work like PPT with on click animations without putting in a bit more work, i would stick with PPT for presentations  especially as most places are set up to accept these and Storyline, presi can cause problems.

Thanks- I was afraid that was the answer!
