Recording audio while creating a project
Adobe Captivate lets you record an audio track at the same time you record a new Adobe
Captivate project. This can be a very efficient way to create a full-featured project quickly.
The following procedure describes how to record audio while creating a Adobe Captivate project
about an application. The process is similar whether you create a custom size or full screen Adobe
Captivate project.
To record audio and a new Adobe Captivate project at the same time:
1.
Open the application you want to record. (You must do this before recording.)
2.
Prepare your recording equipment.
3.
Open Adobe Captivate.
4.
On the Start Page, click Record or create a new project.
The New Project Options dialog box appears.
5.
Select Software Simulation in the left pane.
6.
Select Application in the right pane and click OK.
The Recording window appears.
7.
In the Record specific window pop-up menu, select the application to record.
8.
Select Record narration.
9.
(Optional) Click Options to set a wide variety of recording options, including the capability to
automatically capture screenshots and automatically generate text captions.
10.
(Optional) If necessary, change the size and position of the window. You can resize the window
by selecting one of the sizing handles on the red frame and dragging it. To change the location
of the window, move the mouse over the red frame until a four-point arrow appears, and then
drag the entire window to a new position. You can also click Snap red recording area to fit select
window to quickly change the size of the recording area to match the size of the application.
11.
When you finish setting options, click Record.
If this is the first time you are recording audio, a dialog box appears asking if you would like to
test audio levels. Click Yes to calibrate the recording device for optimal recording. Follow the
instructions and when you finish, click OK.
