Software simulation using video not recorded through Storyline 360

As Joe noted, there isn't a way to import the video per se. However, what I'd do is extract the frames of the video. You won't need all of them since you get 30 fps. You just need the ones that you click on and the corresponding frame that results from the click. 

Insert those images on slides and then use hotspots to create the interactions.

As a short cut, you could create a dummy screen recording to get the layers and what not. And then copy and paste those onto your image slides. That will save a lot of construction time.

how about their client buying storyline or using the free version to capture. Also what about using a remote service such as chrome and capture that  way ?

Hello Tanya,

Thanks for reaching out!

Unfortunately, converting a screen recording into Storyline Step-By-Step Slides is not possible. Storyline 360 needs to detect the inputs of the learner while the screen recording is taking place in order to properly generate each step in the slides.

Let me know if you need anything else!

Here's a recording to show the basics. It's really not too hard to do. The main part is knowing what frames and triggers you need.

I have only just realised that I need this! To produce software simulations. The bit where you can get the user to ‘try’ and then ‘test’ . I will need to complete and convert perhaps 10 x 3 min videos. Is it really as easy as it looks or is this going to send me crazy?
