The company I am employed by has recently acquired a new software application in which the original developers embedded some elearning modules. The modules are a combination of static slides and screen recordings. The tool of choice by the developers was Camtasia. I’ve used Camtasia in the past but only for quick, no edits needed [...]
I get this question fairly frequently, so here is a link to an Adobe Technote on the subject.
Also, for further reading (with code sample), consult Andrew Chemey’s article here.
I was asked this question via email the other day and I just had to shake my head. No, not that someone asked it - I’m just amazed that after 3 releases of Captivate with this same problem, more people aren’t going ballistic over this bug. The problem is in using transparent captions. I hadn’t [...]
This is part three of the testing, where I’ll focus on the encoding speed setting and its effect on filesize and audio quality, in reference to voiceover audio.

This is part two of a series of articles written with the express purpose of finding the best filesize-to-quality ratio for publishing voiceover audio out of Captivate. Part One can be found here. At the end of the series I’ll provide my thoughts/opinions, followed up by a tabular summary of the facts. And, of course, [...]
I’ve been wanting to do this for a few years but have never had the time. Goal: determine exactly what the optimal audio output settings in Captivate are for voiceover audio, which is 99% of the audio I use in Captivate (and I could care less if background/intro music is not fm quality!). I’m [...]
I get this question from time to time. Usually people just think it can’t be done, because there isn’t an obvious way to do it via the GUI. Well, in fact it is obvious - but for something like this you expect it to be built into the GUI, something like a ‘Use multiple feedback [...]
All of the preloaders that come stock with Captivate 3 have their associated fla and swf files in the following directory by default:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 3\Gallery\Preloaders
To create your own preloader, all you’ll need to do is copy one of the existing fla files, modify the graphics or create fresh ones (just make sure to [...]

It will be quite interesting to see how Captivate 4 addresses this issue. I heard from a very reliable source (as reliable as it gets…but that’s all I can say) that Captivate 4 (if that’s what the next version is going to be called) will have the ability to publish swf’s to AVM2/ActionScript 3 format.
