SCREEN RECORDING REPURPOSED
I captured a screen recording and chose step-by-step slides and View Mode Steps and save. That's fine.
However, what could I do if I wanted to use the same footage later, but make it interactive? (I can't even find the video file either).
Additionally is there a way to make an imported video interactive? (that was, say, captures in ppt)
Lastly, what is the difference between importing screen captures to a single or many slides?
thanks
Hi, Diane.
Thank you for reaching out!
What could I do if I wanted to use the same footage later, but make it interactive?
Once your first recording is done, you can choose it again from the list of videos (under Slides > Record Screen).
You will be presented with the options and will be able to pick a different mode to be used.
Additionally is there a way to make an imported video interactive? (that was, say, captures in ppt)
Yes, you can create your own using triggers, hotspots, and captions! Here's an article with some ideas:
Lastly, what is the difference between importing screen captures to a single or many slides?
The single slide option is for videos. They're not interactive, but if you recorded audio with your screencast, it'll be included with the video. The step-by-step slides will be split into several slides throughout the scene.
Let me know if you have additional questions!
Fantastic, thanks Maria
That was a great answer, thank you.
However, I can only see the recording in Slides/ record screen (as shown below) when I’m in the project I initially recorded it in. Is there a way to make it available to other projects? Many thanks, in advance
Hi Diane,
Happy to follow up on your question!
How can I make a screen recording available in other Storyline projects?
You can find that option in our user guide for inserting screen recordings.
Import at least one of the step-by-step slides from the original project into your new project. This makes the entire screen recording available in the new project, and you can reuse it as often as you like—either as a video on a single slide or as step-by-step slides.
If you don't have any step-by-step slides built, I suggest the following steps:
- Use the Save As option to create a copy of your current file
- Build out the slides you need for your screen recording
- Then, in your new project, use the Import option as mentioned above to insert the slides
I hope that helps!
I'd also recommend these two webinars that David did:

The first covers the basics. The second offers some creative ideas.
