Note: When you record an onscreen action, it is best to perform the action more slowly than you
would normally. For example, if you are recording keyboard action, type text slowly.

When you finish recording, press the End key (or other designated key) to end recording.
The slides are generated and your new project appears in the Adobe Captivate Storyboard view.
If any drag-and-drop actions were recorded and full motion slides created, you will see the full
motion slides displayed in Storyboard view with a movie camera icon in the lower-right corner
of the slide.
Note: While creating a simulation project using a template, if you select a template created from an
earlier version of Adobe Captivate, Adobe Captivate 2 will not display the thumbnail of the selected
template (*.cptl file) in the New project options dialog box.

Adobe Captivate lets you create blank projects or image-based projects. Also, you can import
Microsoft PowerPoint projects into Adobe Captivate and enhance them.
Creating a new blank project
You can create a blank project consisting of one blank frame in a size you specify. This option is
useful if you want to create an empty project and then import images or slides from another
project. Set a custom size in the Width and Height text boxes, or select a commonly used size
from the Preset size pop-up menu.
To create a new blank project:
1.
Open Adobe Captivate.
2.
On the Start page, click Record or create a new project.
The New project options dialog box appears.
3.
In the left pane, click Other.
The Other Project Type window appears on the right.
4.
Select Blank project and click OK.
The Blank project dialog box appears.

Adobe Captivate uses a default capture area of 640 x 480 pixels. To change the size, select User
defined (custom) and enter new numbers in the Width and Height text boxes, or use the arrows
to specify new numbers. You can also select Preset size, and then choose a commonly used size
from the pop-up menu.
Tip: You can use the Custom preset button to add your own presets, Once created, these will be
shown in the Preset size across the product.
Note: In general, project sizes larger than 800 x 600 pixels might not stream well over dial-up
connections.

Click OK.
The project is generated and appears in Adobe Captivate Storyboard view.
