Can you copy a Zoom Region?
I'm working with a course where I would like to have "the same zoom" on multiple slides. I found how to change the zoom speed, but I don't find anything that tells me the zoom size and position. I ...
I was wishing you could copy a zoom region as well. Or, failing that, specify the exact dimensions (or at least one dimension and let Storyline calculate the other dimension like a locked aspect ratio item you're re-sizing) and locations of the zoom region the way you can specify the location and dimension of a rectangle shape.
In a simulation, the screens are changing based on the action in the simulation, and you can't really copy the slide and ....
Wait, wait, wait... I think I see the solution!!!! On the slides in a sim where you need to zoom in, stop the simulation. Then create another simulation, this time zooming in to a tighter focus on the area you want to concentrate on. Then stitch the simulations together....
So, I guess the lesson here is record it once, just to get a feel for what you're doing, and then plan a more elaborate simulation based on the needs of the application and the learner.
Dang! Wish I had thought of that a week ago.
