New movie options dialog box

Use this dialog box to select a type of new movie to create.

Application: Use this option to record all action within a specified application. For example, if you want to create a movie about how to open a document in Microsoft Word, select this option, and then select the application Word. (The application you want to record must be open before you start recording a new Captivate movie.)

Custom size: Use this option to record a movie that is a specific size. This option is useful if you must record a movie at a certain size so that it can fit on a web page or within a help system.

Full screen: Use this option to record all action taken on your computer screen. This is a good option to use if you have to record actions in several different applications within one Captivate movie.

Blank movie: Use this option to create a movie that consists of one blank slide. This option is useful if you just need to create a "shell" of a movie and then import other slides.

Image movie: Use this option to create a movie that consists primarily of images. This is a good option to use if you are creating a movie that you want to display like a slide show of images.
