Removal of the Black Screen at the start of the Articulate Storyline Module

Dear Articulate Team,

Hope You'll well!

We wanted a quick fix solution to the storyline module as to how can we be able to remove the black screen with the play button at the start of the module. (Please see the attachment for more details)

We wanted to represent our solution to the client without the black screen preferably OR at least be able to change the style of the page?

Your quick solution would be appreciated.

  • Great news all around! Thanks for sharing in this discussion, Kevin and Aimie! 

    I hope that you both have a great start to Thursday!

    LucianaPiazzaI used the blank slide trick to avoid the black screen with play button. The next slide has a GIF and an audio file on it. The project skips to the next slide and avoids the black screen. The GIF on the next slide works, however, the audio won't play right away. It takes about a minute before the audio will kick in. Same experience in Review 360 and in Rise as a storyline block.

    I've tried:

    • adding the audio as background "music" - did not work
    • adding the audio on a layer which opens with the slide - did not work
    • combining the audio and GIF in a video MP4 - did not work (must click video to play, it will not auto-play)

    Ultimately, I just want the GIF and the Audio to start at the same time when the slide starts (while avoiding the black screen with play button). I'm using this as a storyline block in Rise, however, the same issue appears in Review 360. While previewing in Storyline, there is no issue. All attempted solutions worked in SL preview mode.
