Fifteen years ago, this approach was a reasonable way to create a video. However, with today's tools and standards, I would recommend using modern video editing software, such as TechSmith Camtasia, for a smoother and more professional result.
It's important to note that if you publish your eLearning project in Adobe Captivate as a video, you’ll lose all interactivity. Features like knowledge check slides, learning interactions, and final assessments won’t carry over. This method involves publishing your project as a SWF file and then converted to an MP4 video. Additionally, the resolution of the final video may be significantly lower than expected. For example, if your project is 1024 x 627, the resulting video will only match the smaller height dimension of 627. For comparison, HD video has a height of 1080.
When I had to use this method, I found it helpful to maximize all the settings in the Publish as Video window to get the best possible quality:
Profile: High
Level: 5.1
Bitrate Encoding: CBR
Target Bitrate: 9
Max Bitrate: 9
Press the Test button to confirm your encoding settings are correct before you press Publish.
