Chapter 3: Creating Projects
Note:
It is important to set the correct frame rate before creating full motion slides. The default setting
is 30 flash frames per second and is appropriate in most cases. You may need to change the rate if
you are embedding your Adobe Captivate SWF in another SWF file that has a frame rate different
than 30. Change the frame rate using the Project Preferences dialog box.
To distinguish between the two options it is appropriate to think of full motion recording as an
enhancement to, not a substitute for, a standard movie. The full motion recorded movie is placed
into one slide of a project and plays like a “mini-movie” within the larger project. Full motion
movies are useful when you need to show an action that involves precise motion such as using a
drawing/painting program, detailed dragging and dropping operations, or a 3-D program.
Creating full motion slides
You create full motion (also known as “drag-and-drop recording”) movie slides within a standard
project. A full motion movie slide is useful when you want to show users an action that involves
detailed motion like drawing, dragging and dropping operations, or 3-D.
You can record or add as many full motion movie slides to your Adobe Captivate project as you
require.
To record a full motion movie slide while recording a new project:
1.
From the Adobe Captivate Start page, click Record or create a new project.
The New project options dialog box appears.
2.
Select Software Simulation, and then select the type of project to record, such as Application or
Custom size.
3.
Click OK.
The recording window appears.
4.
(Optional) Select Record narration to record audio as you record the project.
5.
(Optional) Click Options. On the Recording Options tab you can select Enable auto recording
to automatically capture screenshots. On the Full Motion Recording tab you can select
Automatically use full motion capture for drag-and-drop actions and for mouse wheel scrolling
so that Adobe Captivate automatically starts full motion recording whenever you begin drag-
and-drop actions or scrolling with the mouse wheel. (Recording automatically and recording
full motion automatically are strictly optional both processes can be done manually, if you
prefer.) When you are finished setting options, click OK.
6.
(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 a larger or smaller size.
To change the location of the window, move the mouse over the red frame until a four-point
arrow appears, click and hold the mouse, and then drag the entire window to a new position.
7.
When you are finished setting options, click Record. Adobe Captivate begins recording the
onscreen action.
■
If you are manually recording the project (that is, you did not select the Enable auto
recording option in step 5 above), click the Print Screen button (or other designated capture
key) to capture screenshots.
