Problem: I have recorded a ‘simulation’ which includes switching between PPT slides and software I am demonstrating.
Each click creates a little pop-up indicating which button or action I have taken. When exporting to a slideshow - this will be useful. However, when exporting to a video - I don’t want them to show.
I have found the ‘eye’ icon on the timescale for the ‘shape’, the ‘Cursor’ and the ‘mouse click1’ objects and I have turned them ‘off’ - i.e. cross through the eye.
However, when I export they are still visible. How do I get them to not show?
For some I can ‘delete’ the object but for others I’ll want them so I can export to PPT or other static-media.
ActivePresenter Standard Edition
Version 9.2.1 - 64-bit build. (Released: 2025.02.13)
OS: Win11 (24H2)
Notes:
I thought it worked previously. I found a new button ‘select all slides’ - and tried to turn off for all slides (I’ve c400 slides - with the intention of turning on for selected slides) which might have broken it.
Save the settings as a custom theme to reuse across projects: Design tab > Save Current Theme.
Start Page > select the saved theme > Record Interactive Simulation

2. After recording.
If you finish recording with multiple slides, follow the steps below:
Access the View tab > Object Settings > Shapes/Incorrect Message > Properties pane > deselect the Demonstration mode.
Click the ActivePresenter button > Project > Batch Operations > Delete Objects > tick the Shape/Incorrect checkbox > specify the slide you want to delete.
Click the ActivePresenter button > Project > Batch Operations > Insert Objects > select Shape from the dropdown. By doing so, the smart annotations will appear when exporting to HTML5. But they won’t be shown in your exported video.
