Storyline: Software Intro Interaction

Love how you add your captions on the image canvas. Very natural.

Very cool, how did you do the mouse over highlights on the menu?

I agree, Spencer! How DID you do the mouse over highlights. Hope you didn't have to add each in individually!

I think this looks really good but I wonder how this is any better than doing a screen recording? Especially since the mouse moves and it looks like a screen recording anyway.

I've been thinking about the mouse over. I think that he adds them manually (with the response, you only need 1 response text), combine them to a group and copy paste them to the next slides. Am I correct, Charles?

Excellent Job! Did you find advantages to building this in Storyline versus creating a screen recording (e.g., using Captivate)?

What a neat work! You seem to have created a tab on upper right corner called “Reset to Start” by resorting to Player menu. True? It is going to the beginning of the presentation. How did you get it done?

I would also like to know how you achieved the mouse over effect? Did anyone ever get a response for this?

Thanks everybody! Sorry for such a late response, but just seeing these comments now! The non interactive part of this (the beginning) IS a screen capture! I added some text and direction over the video capture in Storyline, and matched to an image for the interactive part. The drop down menu and mouse over effects are all handled with layers and the Hover states. No magical programming or variables (I'm lousy at that) just Storyline triggers and timeline stuff. The "Return to Start" is in the player properties - player tabs - make a new trigger to return to the first slide. Got that idea from a community member on these forums, and love it. Here is a link to the .story file- montereymotiongraphics.com/interactive_screenshot/UI_software_sim.story Thanks!

Hi Charles - Your link appears to just be to the published content. Did you intend to share the actual Storyline file? :)

Yaaaaaay! Thanks!
