Storyline Tip: Bringing Whiteboards to Life

What a great tip, Patti. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for the great tip!

Think of how much fun this would be with a Wacom tablet...

Really nice idea. Thanks.

Thanks, all!

I'm glad you found it helpful.

Thanks Patti!

Patti, very creative! Like Eric, I was thinking about how great this would be on a tablet, but not necessarily Wacom. Any of the "Windows" tablets I've used in recent years (e.g., Lenovo, Motion, Fujitsu) would do a great job with that.

Thought I'd just quickly add how you got to that whiteboard in Storyline...for those who are reading this and are new.

1. Once Storyline has been launched, begin a new slide. There are several ways to do this. A couple:

• If you're in Story View, right-click on the scene/slide and choose New slide from the shortcut menu
• If you're in Normal View (Slide View), right-click in the thumbnail pane on the left of the screen and choose New slide from the shortcut menu
  OR
  Click the New Slide button. It shows on the ribbon when the Home tab is active.

2. When the Insert Slides window appears, click Templates on the left of the screen.

3. From the Template drop-down near the top of the window, select Character Display panels

4. Click the Whiteboard. For me, at least, it's in Column 1, Row 2.

Thanks, Rebecca!

I appreciate the kind words and I'm sure it's helpful for everyone to know how to add the whiteboard.

That's very cool Patti  

Might just have to plug the Wacom tablet back in and do so some experimenting!

Someone had to take the bait didn't they !  

SL screen recorder quality is awesome, and the ability to layer objects over video makes this complete.

HA! I LOVE it, Bruce! So fun!

I'm not able to access drop box due to company IT security...is there another way you could pass on your great template?  Thanks!
