When editing a recording of my screen I must select either modes, View/Try/Test. I have quite a few changes in the recording to make, and when having finished the first mode,- View, I would like to use THAT modified version of the recoding as a starting point for my Try mode. I tried picking up the scene from the Insert/Recording menu - but I always get the "raw" version as a starting point. I tried duplicating the View mode and find a way to convert it - no luck, It would save me a lot of time and effort if you could give me some insight in how to do this little trick

Hi Kate, The different modes are built in options of the screen recording, so there isn't a way to convert one to the other. You could look at inserting in the screen recording as test mode in a new scene, and then you could copy/paste the elements you'd modified in Try mode to your Test mode set up.

Hi Marie, It's not currently possible to convert your edited View mode slides to Try mode. If you'd like to see that feature implemented into a future release, please submit a feature request to us by using the link below: http://www.articulate.com/support/contact/submit.php?form=feature

I have converted the Vie mode to Try mode successfully. It plays perfectly when I Preview the course. But it does not work when I Publish the course. Please help. I need to publish the course in LMS- scorm 1.2 settings.

Welcome to E-Learning Heroes, Namrata! If it's working when previewing, I'm wondering if there's an issue with how it's being viewed after you've published. You mentioned that you're wanting to publish the course for an LMS, but are you uploading to the LMS before viewing the project, or are you viewing the published content locally? If you view published Storyline content on your local hard drive or send it to someone else to view on their local hard drive, you'll encounter security restrictions from the computer, web browser, Flash Player, and network that'll cause various features of your content to fail. To properly test your published content and share it with others, upload it to the environment for which it was published. Please review the following article for details: Publishing and sharing Storyline content

Does anyone know if this was submitted and implemented? I can't find how to do this via the tutorials and it would save me a tremendous amount of time in editing!

    Yes, I've been a user with Captivate and it was easier. I'm learning the View and Try modes and wish it was like Captivate.

This would be a very good update: converting different modes, it saves a lot of editing-time...

Hi Marcel,

I just replied to your other post here - which now reading this one, I understand a bit better what you were looking for. If you'd like to join the group in their requests, you can always submit feature requests here.

Hi, is there any update to this? I have submitted a feature request and I assume other posters have.

It would improve the software greatly and more than halve the time it takes me to create stories if I didn't have to perform all of my screen recording edits three times for every slide.

I know I can insert an original screen recording, but is it now possible, or are there plans to make it possible to insert an edited view mode screen recording into try mode? Please say yes....
