Creating camera sounds during recording
Adobe Captivate can play a “camera shutter” sound when you take a screenshot while recording.
This feature, which tells you exactly when a screenshot is captured, can be especially helpful when
you use the auto-recording feature. The camera sound is not included in the finished project.
To hear the camera shutter sound during recording:
1.
Open Adobe Captivate.
2.
From the Options menu, select Recording Options.
3.
Click the Recording Options tab.
4.
Select Hear camera sounds during recording.
5.
Click OK.
Pausing while recording projects
You can pause while recording an Adobe Captivate project. This may be necessary if you are
recording a project and need to change the location of the recording area.
To pause while recording a project:
1.
Open Adobe Captivate and begin recording a new project or slide.
2.
When you want to pause recording, press the Pause/Break key on the keyboard.
3.
When you want to restart recording, press Pause/Break again.
Note:
You can move the red recording window to a new location and resume recording in the new
area. This shift in area will not be seen in the project.
Setting auto-recording
You can set an auto-recording option in Adobe Captivate. When you set this option, Adobe
Captivate automatically captures screenshots during the recording process each time you take the
following actions:
•
Click or press a capture key
•
Open a menu or submenu, or select a menu item
•
Open a dialog box or a property page
•
Click a toolbar button
•
Perform a drag-and-drop process
•
Click any mouse button while the cursor is in the capture area
Note:
The auto-recording feature should not be used when recording onscreen action that involves
the keyboard calculator keys. If you select Enable auto recording, Adobe Captivate cannot accurately
record the onscreen calculations.
