Video editor - taking out a middle chunk of the video
Is it possible to remove a piece (or multiple pieces) from within a video? Using the "Trim" function, I'm only to trim off the ends of a screencast.

You can only take off the ends, if you do not have access to any other editing suites you could trim the end of one and the beginning of the other but this amy look strange.

Thanks - just like I figured. It seems that to access the screencasts you need to publish the Storyline, extract the video, and edit it externally. Do you know of any other way?

Yes, Bruce helped me with this one go to the insert recording choose your video then right click the image and you get the option to export as a video.

This definitely helped. To clarify, you need to choose the video from Insert, Record Screen. Then select the video from the list. When Storyline asks you about single-slide vs step-by-step, you need to right-click the image on that screen.
Hi Allan! Glad that Phil was able to help you out here and thanks for those directions as well

This is too bad. I used to use Camtasia, part of the Lectura suite which had this feature. I never even looked for it during my selection process since it seemed like an obvious feature. I'm now I need to find another editor I suppose. I already had to run my iPhone videos through a tool to rotate them. Is it slated for the next release?
Hi Mary Ellen!
I would advise that you share your thoughts with our product development team here. As far as future features or product roadmaps, this is not information that is shared.
I want to be sure that you do know you can cut/delete audio if needed though. The instructions are included in this tutorial.

How does one take a Storyline 360 screenshot video and turn it into an MP4 so it can be modified using other software?
- MariaCSStaff
Hi, Michael.
That's a great question!
Here's how you can export the screen recording:
- Go to Slides > Record Screen > Choose your video
- Right-click the image of the video and choose Export.
I hope this helps!

Thanks, that was most helpful. My supervisor will now be over the moon with glee. Not entirely obvious though.
It would be most helpful if the Storyline 360 video editor had that type of functionality.
Stay well

I find that right clicking on the image does nothing, there is no context menu at all, though the right click brings up the context menu on other areas.
Hi Caddi,
The directions Maria shared above are specific to exporting a screen recording in Storyline 360. Is this what you are working with as well?
If so, please be sure that you are opening the Insert Slides Menu via Slides > Record Screen > Select your video so that you can right-click to export the video.
If you're still having difficulty, please share your project file publicly here or send it to me privately by uploading it here. I'll delete it when I'm done troubleshooting.

Leslie, this is Mike Frielingsdorf, I had been trying to right click on the recorded screen pics that show up when you first click on record Screen. I have it all worked out now.
Thanks for the help
