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 also don't seem to have functionality to copy and paste a zoom region from one slide to another. Is there anyway, other than eye-balling it, to make identical zoom sizes on multiple slides? The timing will be different, but I want the size and placement to match.
Thanks Joyce - problem is these slides are a result of a"view step by step" screen recording, so at times I want to show the next steps but essentially have the same zoom area, else it seems like its "bouncing around".
We should be able to set the position and size of the zoom window, relative to the slide itself, like we can with shapes/etc. (Or copy & paste them). Was that ever a suggested feature?
Hi Kevan! I know I've seen that feature requested here in ELH before, and you're welcome to add your voice in the form of a feature request. Thanks for being a part of the community!
I'm sure I've made that request before. Maybe more voices will move it up on the programing priority list!
Thanks Bruce Roberts. Love your idea.
To my knowledge you still cannot do this. However, if you want to put it in exactly the same place for all 80 slides, I suggest that you make a rectangle that is the exact size and position you want for your zoom. Paste that to each of the slides, and then "draw" your zoom to match the area. Delete the extra rectangle when you are finished. It isn't elegant, but it works.
Done! I've been waiting for this for EIGHT YEARS!!!
Me too - but i'm not hopeful we'll see it anytime soon. Given its been discussed for so long, seems to be an easy thing to implement and hasn't been. Well, I hope I'm wrong!
I've submitted a feature request but would also like to express my frustration that this feature has still, after years, not been considered.
Are we up to year 9 and there is no workable solution yet?
At least display the zoom region dimensions and position like it was a shape.I could not agree more. This seems like something that should be a no brainer for development. It ends up either making the design work so difficult it isn't worth it, or the end product with so many little jumps that it looks cheap.
PLEASE GET THIS FEATURE IMPLIMENTED.Come-on Articulate. Storyline Objects have adjustable size and position - numerical variables.
How difficult can it be?
