Storyline 260

[Margaret Sieverding]

Youshould be able to right click on the slides within the Story view and choose Layout to see which is applied. If it is saying that the master slide layout you created is applied, but it's not appearing there are a few other things I'd want to know:

Next, are you experiencing this in one file or in all your Storyline files? If it's just one file you'll want to follow the steps here to import into a new storyline project. If it's all your files, something may have happened during the installation, so it's worth conducting the repair steps outlined here.

I have been working on a network at work, so I will try the recommendation and start working on my C drive, only to migrate the files to the network after closing Storyline so that they may be backed up.

We have tight restrictions that don't allow employees to install/download programs without IT's input, so I'll see how working on my local drive goes before attempting to repair the installation file.

Out of curiousity, are there similar issues with the Articulate '09 suite when working on a network drive? We were recently working on another product, and the Audio files would sometimes drop after being imported, requiring us to redo the entire process.

I'm having this exact issue. The slide masters look correct in view mode but do not transfer to my slide. If I click anywhere in the preformatted boxes, the text disappears. I did add an image on my master slide, and that is the only thing that is retained. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Instead of a Title placeholder, try using a text box, and see if your text is retained. Titles are designed to have a prompt, which is usually Title text here, or something like that, which disappears so you can enter your own title.

The problem is that when you add a secondary storyline or compound clip "above" the primary storyline and then add a transition to the beginning and end, the transition affects the primary storyline and not just the secondary storyline or compound clip.

For Transitions over the storyline, most of them will need to transition into a slug rather than be "open ended" in order to work as you would expect it to. If you add a slug adjacent to a clip over the storyline and then add a transition, FCPX will automatically convert it to a secondary storyline.

You can create a slug in Motion by opening a New Generator project and saving it as "Slug" to a category of your choice. There is nothing further that needs to be done. You could elect to Export the Motion Project to create an actual "empty" video...

It depends entirely on the transition. Quite a few require clips to be inline to work properly. Which transition are you using? If you want to make your own you can open the existing transition in Motion and probably modify it.

I have a completed secondary storyline without any need for slugs... but find that only the very basic set of wipes will work inside the secondary. I think to Tom's point, all the fancy pants transitions affect the entire video.

I "created" the slug generator because a Gap is literally "nothing". It is just a way to put space between clips in the timeline/storyline. A slug is transparent video and can be used to fill a transition's placeholder.

BTW, you can use FCPX to generate your own slugs, just use a Basic Title and delete the text (or replace it with a space character.) Then export. If you use ProRes 4444, the video will be transparent. If you use anything else, the video will be solid black. You could also use any generator with which you can set the opacity to 0.

Tom is probably right. There are many ways to create custom transitions and there are, no doubt, many that will affect all media from their "layer" and everything below, very much as Title effects do. In titles, the "Drop Zones" (technically, they're "placeholders") gather up everything that is below the title, including other connected clips into the placeholder media (items above the title's level in connected clips are not placed in the placeholder media.) It's one way the user can create their own "on the fly" effects in FCPX by gathering them under the effect of a title.

One sure way to get "secondaries" to "behave" with transitions it so group them into a Compound clip. Using compounds don't really add any extra "weight" to a project (all references and uses XML) and does not duplicate video clips. Compound clips can contain Luma blending modes (Stencil Luma or Silhouette Luma) that usually will cut holes through everything under an effect including media *under* the storyline. An example of this use is to "put video inside text" and black out everything else. If you put the Title and the Video to fill the text inside a compound clip, you can contain that consequence to just what's inside the compound, place the compound over the storyline and have your storyline video show will you have a different video fill the text of the title (not that I'd ever recommend that!)

There is a method to the way FCPX was put together which is not quite how a lot of us would have thought to do it. In the end, FCPX tends to be more flexible than we could have ever imagined. Just accept it and work faster ? What's that commercial? It's not how fast you mow, it's how well you mow fast? I'm sure there's an analogy in there somewhere...

Storyline announcements are a way for leaders to share important information with people in their audiences, their followers, and everyone in the organization. Discover, follow, and stay-up-to date with leaders across the company through their storyline announcements.

By building custom audiences, leaders can notify specific groups of their storyline announcements through email and Microsoft Teams to ensure delivery of essential information.

Even if employees don't have storyline, they'll receive notifications of leadership posts in Teams, email, and Viva Engage.

Announcements settings allow leaders to specify the notification channels and recipients that are notified when the announcement is shared. To edit and open settings, select Change notification settings from the information bar (pictured above).

When you disable storyline, Storylines doesn't appear in the left navigation pane in Viva Engage for the web, or in the top navigation in the Viva Engage app for Teams and Outlook. In addition, no Storyline tab appears in the user profile.

If a user responded to posted storyline content in the past, they have access to those conversations. Otherwise, previously posted storyline content is unavailable. Storyline content continues to be available through network data export and through eDiscovery for networks in Native Mode.To delete previous storyline conversations after you've disabled storyline, use the same processes you use to delete other conversations in Engage.

Admins can use these settings to control how they configure storyline for their organization. Use these settings to establish the default behavior for storyline notifications, and to restrict who can post to storyline.

In its default configuration, storyline notifies users in Teams, email, and Viva Engage anytime a person they follow posts to their storyline page. Network and verified admins can override this configuration to control which default notifications are selected when a user follows someone. Users can also change the default notification setting for each person they follow.

Disabling storyline for a user doesn't delete their storyline posts and conversations. Instead, it hides them from all users in the network except those who participated in the thread. If you need to address objectionable content or security concerns, a more efficient solution may be deleting conversations or blocking the offending user.

When Viva Engage is configured for a multitenant organization, the Multi-tenant Organizations (MTO) setting appears in the Advanced settings of the designated hub tenant. This setting enables users on all spoke tenants to engage with storyline posts from the hub tenant. However, these users can only participate if the multitenant organization configuration in Microsoft Entra ID has granted them access to storyline. Learn more about configuring a multitenant organization in Viva Engage.

In addition to the capabilities listed here, storyline features a feed that includes all storyline posts, sorted by the date the storyline conversation was started. To access this feed, go to the storyline landing page. In the feed, select the filter icon in the upper-right corner to switch the filter to All.

Compliance for storyline posts is the same as the rest of Viva Engage. If you're in Native Mode, posts are ingested into the substrate and subjected to the same compliance and eDiscovery capabilities as posts in communities--including communications compliance and retention. Files are stored in OneDrive, where they inherit the same security and compliance policies configured for other files in OneDrive.

Storyline is only supported in Viva Engage networks that enforce Microsoft 365 identity. If your network doesn't enforce Microsoft 365 (formerly Office 365) identity, or if you have a Viva Engage Basic network, storyline isn't available to your organization.

From the UI, Engage admins with premium Viva licenses can upload or delete cover photos for any user who has the premium Viva license and has storyline enabled. To do this, from the profile page of the user, hover over the profile header and select Upload cover photo. Then, delete or upload a new cover image, as needed.
