I am recording very many systems training screens, and by default it includes the mouse click effect ring thing. I am not a fan of the click effect, and can turn it off manually - but I don't suppose there is another way to set that as the default? So many slides......
I am also trying to get rid of the red circles that appear when using step by step and view mode steps. I tried reinserting the recording and unchecking the box as shown above. Tried it 3 times so far. The red circles are NOT removed! What's the deal here?
The element mentioned above, are the "semi transparent rectangles that highlight where a user should click" per this tutorial. I believe the red circles you're referring to actually indicate where the user is clicking - or should be in a View mode - and there isn't a way to remove them.
Yes, I want to get rid of the "red circles". That's sad to hear that they can't be removed. My initial delight after moving from Captivate to Storyline is diminishing.
Select the cursor in the timeline, open Format menu and look for 'Show Click Effects' check box. Remove check from box. For me, the red circle doesn't disappear until I click something else in the timeline or move to another slide and come back, you know?
I found your post looking for a way to remove them ALL AT ONCE when inserting the recording in view mode. So if someone knows how to do that, hollar at me!
It's tedious to remove manually one by one, I am working on 32 modules with 50 slides each..
Don't give up on Storyline just yet, I promise it will grow on you!

Hi Aneeta,
The issue you mentioned is not clear. Please could you explain briefly or attach a .story file for an example?
Thanks!

Hi Aneeta!
Sounds like you're inserting step-by-step recordings for these screen recordings, is that right? Are you using "View mode steps", by any chance?
If so, you could re-insert the recording and disable the option for "Indicate clicks with highlight".
It'll look something like this:
However, I'm not entirely sure if that's the effect you're looking to remove. If it's not, can you give us a little more information?
Thanks!

Hi Gary,
What about removing the mouse cursor entirely? That's what a few other users discussed in this thread to get rid of those red circles.
Hi Gary, Hi everyone.
These red circles can totally can be removed!
Select the cursor in the timeline, open Format menu and look for 'Show Click Effects' check box. Remove check from box. For me, the red circle doesn't disappear until I click something else in the timeline or move to another slide and come back, you know?

OH heck, I thought people were saying that they couldn't be removed at all. After rereading, I see people are asking how to do all at once.
In that case, my reply is another vote to add an option to remove allll at once!
No worries Megan - and you're welcome to share thoughts on that as a feature here!
Cool, thanks Ashley. Feature request submitted!
