Choosing a Story Size

Choosing a Story Size

When you create a new Articulate Storyline project, the slide size defaults to 720 pixels wide by 540 pixels high, but you can change it to any size you'd like.
Changing Your Story Size
      1.      Go to the Design tab on the Storyline ribbon and click Story Size.
          2.      When the Change Story Size window appears, choose an option from the Story Size selector. If              you choose Custom, enter the Width and Height in pixels. Mark the Lock aspect ratio box if you           want to maintain the current proportions forobjects that have locked aspect ratios.
            3.      If you increase the story size, choose one of the options in the section that appears called If                    new size is larger:
v  Scale To Fit: This scales existing slide content to fit proportionately within the new size. Objects that have locked aspect ratios will maintain their ratios. Objects that don't have locked aspect ratios may change shape, depending on the story size you choose. (Learn more about locking aspect ratios.)

v  Fill Background: This keeps the current slide background and applies it to the new size, but it doesn't resize your slide content. If you choose this option, use the corresponding Story Position drop-down to choose where existing content should appear on your slides.
             4.      If you decrease the story size, choose one of the options in the section that appears called If                   new size is smaller:
1.       
v  Scale To Fit: This scales existing slide content to fit proportionately within the new size. Objects that have locked aspect ratios will maintain their ratios. Objects that don't have locked aspect ratios may change shape, depending on the story size you choose. (Learn more about locking aspect ratios.)

v  Crop: This crops your content to fit within the new size. If you choose this option, the Next button will become active. Click Next to define the crop area for each slide in your project. Drag the green box to indicate the portion of each slide you want to keep. Click Apply to All Slides, or use the green arrows to edit each slide individually.
             5.      Click OK to accept the new story size.
