Recording movies

Captivate makes creating a new movie easy. When you record a Captivate movie, you use the application or website you want to demonstrate as you would normally, by moving the mouse, using the keyboard, and navigating through menus. As you work, Captivate captures the onscreen action automatically, or you can capture screen shots manually. When you finish recording, you can set options and add components such as text captions, audio, images, and highlight boxes.

Captivate contains a feature called full motion recording that automatically captures frames at a higher frame rate when you record any drag-and-drop actions. For more details, see Full motion recording.

You can create several kinds of Captivate movies. The recording process is similar for each type, but each has some unique options.
