# Recording new slides

There may be cases in which you record a Captivate movie and begin working at the slide level, only to realize that you need to record a few more slides. In this case, you probably don't want to re-record the entire movie—just a few actions. Captivate allows you to do this by recording new slides and inserting the slides in an existing movie.

#### To record new slides:

1. Open the Captivate movie in which you want to record and insert new slides.

2. From the Insert menu, select Record Additional Slides.

The recording window appears.

3. Select options as necessary. For example, if you want to record an application that is open, click the down arrow next to Optionally, select a window you'd like to record and choose the application. You can also click Options and set numerous recording options.

Note: You can position the capture area anywhere on your screen. You cannot, however, resize the capture area because it is set to the same size as the movie to which you are adding the slides.

4. When you are finished selecting options, click Record.

Record the new slides.

5. When you are finished recording, press End (or other key combination you have designated) on the keyboard to stop recording.

The newly recorded slides are inserted into your movie in the specified location.

Note: You can also import slides from other Captivate movies or PowerPoint files.
