Consider following this process to create Live Content:
1.Create a content file (either from File > New or File > Import).
a.Set the content properties.
b.Save the file.
2.If necessary, from the Add/Edit Instruction window, select the Theme and Options for the content. (See the Setting up your properties and Setting the content theme and toolbar options topics.)
3.Create Text Instructions, script and format Instruction text. (See the Creating Instructions and Using the Text Instruction topics.)
4.Preview and set Instruction size.
We recommend that you use only 1 monitor and set your screen resolution to 100% when creating content to ensure there are no display issues. We have seen success with up to 2 monitors and screen resolutions up to 150% but consider the recommendations when troubleshooting display issues. Content will scale during playback for resolutions 100, 125, or 150%. |
Once you have set the Instruction size, identify the Instruction that will accommodate the majority of all Instructions (with the exception of the Opening, Closing, and "How to Use" Instructions) to set a consistent Instruction size for the content. Click the Options tab in the Add/Edit Instruction window to identify the size you want to use and then modify the Size to each applicable Instruction. You may be able to use the Apply to All option in the Add/Edit Instruction window to copy the Size settings. See the Using Apply to All topic to use this feature. |
