Software Demo issues

Yes, that's the way to handle that. Since step by step mode only shows each step (in most cases, a "click" event), it makes sense that the recording of the last step in the screencast would end shortly after the last action. Unfortunately, the actual system being recorded often takes several more seconds to update the display after the last action taken but Storyline's Record Screen feature doesn't capture those extra seconds. I find I use Action Fine Tuning as the norm, rather than the exception, when presenting step by step slides.

Anyway, glad you're all set!
