How do I setup Caption Formatting prior to recording any screens?

May 28, 2013

I am looking to record some software screens but before I do the recording steps I'd like to set up the Caption properties so that they are formatted to our company colours and fonts.

How do I set this up before I do any recording so that all my screens will inherit the caption formatting that I wish to use.

All help is greatly appreciated as am a new user of Storyline and this is my first post !

I would create theme - Click Design tab and create your own theme , then start capturing.

That's the best way comes to my mind.

Anyone else has suggestion?

I'm curious for this topic...


Hi

I have created the Theme and also put it into a Template. 

When I create a new project based on the template the normal slides slides work with the caption formatting which I want, but when I insert recorded simulation slides into the project, those particular slides revert back to the Storyline blue formatted captions.

Other than using the Format Painter Tool to reapply formatting I'm at a loss as to what else I can try.

Any other ideas I can try?

I think that I finally have a solution which is.....

once the recorded slides have been inserted apply the Design Theme again to the Scene/slides/project and it then updates all the blue record captions to the required formatting set up within the Theme  !
