Make Hint Caption always visible

I turned off Exit animation and it worked. Strange!

Thank You! This worked for me too, and thank goodness!

How do you turn off exit animations? I have none selected for exit animations and it still didn't work.

Hi Mehdi,

If this isn't working, perhaps you could upload a slide so the community could take a look?

Hi Mehdi and welcome to Heroes!

As Rebecca mentioned it's always helpful to share the .story file here with us so that we can take a look, but you may also want to review the information here on how to add exit animations and remove them.

Hi All. I have the same question. It is not about animations of objects. It is of the Hint Caption that that is added automatically when you record for Try Mode. The Hints need to remain on the screen from when the timeline starts and until the user clicks on the hotspot. 

Hint needs to be there at the beginning of the timeline, so the user understands where to click and/or perform a mouse action. However, once the timeline completes the hint disappears. Some students take longer to read instructions and some don't. So, to accommodate both types of users, we need the Hint to stay visible from the start of the timeline and until the user clicks. Please advise what to do with the triggers. there does not appear to be an option for the above.

Thanks for reaching out, Jina!

I'm happy to help—When inserting the recording, did you set the Show hint captions option set to Always:

If that doesn't do the trick, could you share your file in this discussion so folx can take a closer look? You can share it privately here if you prefer!

Hi Becca,

Thanks for getting back to me. I don't think I did that before inserting the files.

As I have already done some work on the slides, would it be possible to switch it on retrospectively from within Art360 itself?

No worries! There are two ways to change the Hint Captions settings:

1. You can re-insert the Screen Recording into the project, and before clicking on the Insert Button, click on Try Mode options to adjust how the Hint Captions appear.
2. OR change the Show layer Hint Caption trigger on each Screen Recording slide from When user Hovers to When timeline starts: 

Let me know if that helps!

Thanks Becca,

I have currently set it at when Timeline starts, but then it disappears at the end of the timeline. If a dyslexia user is taking their time reading the instruction, the timeline may not represent the varying reading speeds, so I would like to avoid setting the timeline. They can of course click on replay on the player, but they may not think of that.

I would like the hint to stay on until they decide to take action. Is there another trigger that I can use that is equivalent to always on? If not, it may be a feature Articulate would like to add in the future in case a user forgets to click on Always On but has done extensive edits on a project before realising.

If I reinsert the screen recording, won't it override all my edits?

Thanks

Jina
