Creating projects
Tip 2 - Go slowly when recording, particularly when recording websites in Internet Explorer
When you record onscreen action, it is best to perform action more slowly than you would normally. For example,
if you are recording keyboard action, type text slowly.
It is especially important to go slowly when capturing a website in Internet Explorer. If you are manually
recording, make sure each web page is completely loaded before capturing a screenshot. If you are auto-recording,
you will hear the camera shutter sound and see the system tray icon (in the lower right corner of your computer)
flash when a web page is fully loaded and Adobe Captivate takes a screenshot. Wait for the shutter sound before
moving the mouse and taking another action. (If necessary, while you are auto-recording, you can take a
screenshot manually at any time by pressing Print Screen. This is effective if you see that the web page changed,
but you did not hear the camera shutter sound so you know that a screenshot was not automatically captured.)
Tip 3 - Capturing screenshots efficiently
It is important to know exactly when Adobe Captivate is capturing screenshots. Adobe Captivate contains a
feature that plays a “camera shutter” sound each time a screenshot is taken. This feature is enabled by default, but
if you do not hear the sound, open the Preferences dialog box (Edit > Preferences), and select Recording, and
make sure the Hear camera sounds during recording option is selected.
If you are automatically recording, Adobe Captivate captures a screenshot each time you perform an action such
as moving the mouse, selecting a menu, or typing information into a text box. The camera shutter sound plays
each time an action takes place.
If you are manually recording, Adobe Captivate captures screenshots each time you press a designated key or key
combination. The default capture key is the Print Screen key. Each time you want to capture a screenshot, press
the Print Screen key; you'll hear the camera shutter sound.
You can also use both recording methods together. Simply turn on the auto-recording option; while Adobe
Captivate captures screenshots, you can use the Print Screen key to manually capture a screen when necessary. For
example, if you are recording Microsoft Internet Explorer, there may be dynamic HTML or Flash menus that
appear only when the mouse rolls over them. Adobe Captivate does not automatically capture the change that
occurs on mouse rollover (you will know this because the camera shutter sound does not play), but you can press
the Print Screen key and manually capture the change.
Tip 4 - Set an appropriate screen resolution
Select an appropriate screen resolution before capturing screenshots. When making a decision about resolution,
consider your audience.
