Screen Recording Try Mode: Can you turn off button hover states in the captured screens?

Hi BetsyFuller​,

Great to see that Ron has been helping you.

Currently, Storyline doesn’t have a built-in setting to suppress hover states during 'Try Mode' screen recordings. When you record a screen in Storyline, it captures the cursor movement and the UI state at the moment of interaction. That behavior is baked into the recording from the time it was captured and can't be toggled off later.

Action Fine Tuning is helpful for trimming the timeline of a recording. Such as adjusting the start and end frames for a specific step. However, it cannot modify what's inside a frame, only which frames are used. There may be edge cases where AFT can help if the hover state appears briefly before the actual click. If that's the case for your recording, you can try trimming the start frame to an earlier/later moment where the button is still in its normal state.

Having said that, I can see the value in a feature that gives authors more editing control over the playback UI of screen recordings. I've submitted this as a feature request on your behalf, and we'll let you know if we release a future update that helps!
