# Converting tooltips to rollover captions

When you record a new movie or record additional slides for an existing movie, you can set a recording option that requires Captivate to convert tooltips to rollover captions. When this option is selected, Captivate creates a rollover caption for every tooltip that is selected during the recording process.
