You can easily create a Captivate movie comprised of images. This option is useful if you need to create a Captivate movie that looks like a slide show.
Open Captivate.
On the Start Page, click Record or create a new movie.
The New movie options dialog box appears.
Select Image movie and click OK.
Click OK.
The Image movie dialog box appears.
Captivate uses a default
capture area of 640 x 480 pixels. To change the size, select User
defined (custom) and type new numbers in the Width
and Height text boxes, or use
the arrows to enter new numbers. You can also select Preset size, and then select a commonly
used size from the pop-up menu.
Note: In general, movies larger than 800 x 600 pixels may not stream well over dial-up connections.
Click OK.
Captivate is displayed in Storyboard View, and the Open dialog box appears.
Navigate to the first image you want to include as a slide in your Captivate movie.
Select the image and click Open.
Note: If the image you selected is larger than the movie size you specified, the Import Image dialog box appears. This dialog box gives you the choice of cropping or rescaling the image. Cropping will trim parts of the image (from the sides) so the image will fit into the movie. Rescaling keeps the entire image, but scales it smaller to fit into the movie.
The image you selected opens as a slide in Edit view.
You can add more images as necessary by clicking on the Insert menu and selecting Image Slide.
