Screencast and Slide Master : issue
I need to create a curriculum on new computer programs and the “record screen” function is absolutely fantastic. I've just recorded a 15-minute sequence which generated 60 slides. I recorded in 16:9...
Hi José,
Thanks for your reply. What I would like to have is a navigation at the bottom of all my screencasts. I was able to do it using your method, but when you have more than 100 slides for training, you have to copy-paste each slide. And if you need to change something in your navigation, you have to start all over again. That's why I thought of setting the navigation at slide master level. I've attached a short demo to my comment and you'll see that the slide master doesn't work for screencasts. I tried playing with the screen resolution but even with a white border around the screencast, the slide master doesn't appear....Is this normal? or am I making a mistake? Thanks for your feedback.

Hi Fabrice!
Glad to see my teammate Joe has been helping you! Happy to jump in here!
What you are experiencing is expected behavior. Slides generated from screen recordings have their own custom backgrounds since these slides are automatically generated using frames from the screen recordings. The backgrounds of step-by-step slides override any inherited design from Slide Masters.
Although tedious, manually adding your navigation buttons by copying and pasting them from the Slide Master layout directly to your slides is the best approach for this type of design.
Please let me know if you have any more questions!
