Can you copy a Zoom Region?

I've worked with a Customer Success Manager to submit a feature request for this issue. They told me to encourage others who have been impacted to submit a feature request as well as it will add traction to the request. Please take a moment and help get this long-overdue feature added. Here is the link: Feature Request

Absolutely agree with Carl above that the features listed would save hours of otherwise tedious work for Storyline developers. I'm forced to use the 'rectangle' workaround which remains tedious when it needs to be applied over many slides. Fine-tuning still needs to be done in order for the scene to render properly  with no 'jumping around' when zoom regions aren't perfectly aligned between slides. This application would jump from good to great with either the ability to copy zoom regions between slides or to be able to configure the zoom region coordinates and size directly. This is a universal pain point among developers in my organization.

Can't believe this hasn't been implemented.  Just came across this myself after having used Camtasia for screen recordings.

• Should be able to copy/paste region layer between slides
• Should be able to directly input values (as though it was a shape with "Format Zoom Region"
• Should be able to set an exact duration for the transition in 0.25/sec increments.

Agreed Michael Massaro - this is a substantial pain point and it's amazing that this hasn't been prioritized in over 7 years. Copy and paste of a rectangle (zoom) seems like an easy win. C'mon Articulate!

Wow...this has really been an issue for 7+ years with no resolution? Can the product team finally get around to this one?  It's kind of a big thing.  - Thanks.

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.

Hi  Wish we could do a copy and paste of  a zoom area. 80 slides later my client says "can you make this section bigger on the simulation. The answer is I can zoom it in but I have to do it manually for all slides that need it (all 80). Whew!!! Please help me out guys. This is well over due as a functionality in articulate. 

Many many thanks

So glad that this older conversation was able to help you out as well, Jane :) Thanks for chiming in to share.

Thanks Bruce Roberts. Love your idea.

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!
