Perhaps a cloud based option like Adobe would be a solution. Other applications are created for both operating systems, and I find that since Storyline is not, it is frustrating.

However, if I wanted to do side work, I would not want to use the Parallel option with my personal laptop because I do not trust it and do not want to jump through hoops that cause me great headaches and additional time to create a product that would take less time if I had the application designed to use for a Mac. I now work for a company that is Windows based and do not have the issue. I had a horrible experience and it cost me a job. My point is I am not a fan of the Parallel option. I am assuming this would be the case with Storyline. When I had used Captivate running Windows with dual screens I had never had this issue. It capture extra things on the screen that I could not control due to the Parallel. I needed to capture an application and needed to use Parallel because the contracting company used Captivate. At the time, I had my Mac laptop and a monitor so that I could work dual screen. I am speaking of running Parallel in general.
