Blurring text for privacy
I'm building courses for the staff at a college and it is sometimes necessary to display personal information on students in screenshots. Is there a way to blur this information to keep it private?...
Update: I found this tutorial that will work for me for the slides that don't include scrolling

However, for the slides that do include scrolling, I still need a solution.
Tommy, I saw that solution, and it seems to help a lot of people! However, my company is very particular about the software we can use. Articulate and TechSmith are approved, so if there's a solution within them, I would definitely like to explore that. Otherwise, a new software request will take months (and quite a few irrate emails).
Madison, TechSmith SnagIt does have an excellent blur tool. While it won't work for a video, for a screen recording converted to view, try, or test mode, each slide's screenshot could be copied into SnagIt, the PII blurred out, and then copied back to the slide. It would be a lot of tedious work for a large project, but it would definitely work.
THIS IS AMAZING! Everyone should check this out. Makes blurring or many, many other edits possible with a few clicks. Excellent and seamless integration with programs like GIMP and SnagIt! Thank you soooooo much for sharing this link.
I just want to be sure this is clearly noticed on the thread. It is the fix for so many things.
Just wanted to add my thanks to Mind Garden and Madison Jurgens for a really great tip!
What's even better is that having done a screen recording with Storyline you still have the original to create or recreate new non-blurred versions if you change your mind.
