Wide background - horizontal scroll tips?

Hi all!

I have a wide background image with lots of objects, animations and interactions attached to it. About twice as wide as the 16:9 ratio, so the user needs to scroll horizontally to discover everything.

Adding the scrolling panel is messy. I am somehow able to rotate my background picture and make it work if I have ONLY that picture in the scene. But having all the objects and animations in the background picture, rotating the picture makes everything move to incorrect places.

Of course I could try editing everything AFTER I have rotated the background image to vertical, but I was wondering if anyone has better ideas how to build this? It is a learning environment that will mainly be used with big touch screens.

    Seconding this as a feature request! Would love to be able to scroll horizontally to discover new characters, objects and interactions on the same slide.

    Articulate tends to develop new features based more on the number of people that request it, and how good of a case they make for its usefulness, rather than on how long it has been since somebody requested it.

    For example, your post on the other thread makes a valuable observation concerning the usefulness of horizontal scrolling.

      Thank you for your reply.

      This has been requested very often in many different discussions. This is particularly important when working with software simulations because they often use horizontal scrolling in their design.

      There are several instances where staff claim this is in the "roadmap" but generally years apart, so I guess that gets lost in the process.

      BTW - sending huffy condescending messages is not the way to build confidence.
