ADOBE CAPTIVATE 3
User Guide
When you finish recording, Adobe Captivate generates the slides that comprise the project and displays them in
Adobe Captivate Storyboard view. Any drag-and-drop actions that were recorded as full motion slides are
displayed in Storyboard view with a movie camera icon in the lower-right corner of the slide. Full motion slides
are saved and included in projects as animation slides.
Tip:For best capture results, especially with full motion recording, perform actions (dragging, clicks, typing) slowly.
The full motion recording feature is enabled by default. You can disable it, though, at any time.
You can set preferences for full motion recording using the FMRConsts.ini file located in the Adobe Captivate
installation folder. Changes made to the configuration are reflected when you record in the full motion recording
mode. The size of the published SWF file and the load on your processor is affected by these changes.
To edit Full Motion Recording preferences using the FMRConsts.ini file:
1 Open the FMRConsts.ini file using notepad. This file is present in the Adobe Captivate installation directory
(\\Program files\Adobe Captivate <version number>.
2 Edit the following according to your preferences:
Capture rate
Specifies the number of screen shots captured per second. Increasing this value increases the size of
the published SWF file. Specify a value between 3 and 15. The default value is 15.
Key frame interval
Increasing the value decreases the size of the published file but increases memory
consumption while playing the SWF file. Specify a value between 10 and 50. The default value is 10.
Key frame SWF size
Increasing the value decreases the size of the published file but increases memory
consumption while playing the SWF file. Specify a value between 0 and 3. The default value is 1.
Split SWF after SWF size 16 bit
Increase this value to reduce the number of slides generated when recording in16
Bit video color mode. The size of the individual Full Motion recording Animation SWF files is high but the overall
size of the output remains the same. Specify a value between 5 and 30. The default value is 20.
Split SWF after capture data size 16 bit
Increase this value to reduce the number of slides generated when
recording in16 Bit video color mode. The size of the individual Full Motion recording Animation SWF files is high

Note: The values defined for the Split SWF after SWF size 16 bit and Split SWF after capture data size 16 bit together
determine when a new slide is created. Increasing the values increases the time to create the new project file.
Split SWF after SWF size 32 bit
Increase this value to reduce the number of slides generated when recording in 32
Bit video color mode. The size of the individual Full Motion recording Animation SWF files is high but the overall
size of the output remains the same. Specify a value between 5 and 30. The default value is 6.
