Can Captivate do this? (Scrollable area, etc.)
Hi, I am trying the Captivate 5 for Mac demo and really am kind of lost as far as if I should purchase or use Flash for my project. I have the CS5 Web suite, so Flash is already paid for. My employer is willing to purchase Captivate, however.
We are going to be making some instructional videos where some slides will have voiceovers and animations/effects to draw the eye. For accessibility puroposes, we need to have the narration for each slide in text form. I would like a scrollable area that will contain that text. Is it possible to do this in Captivate?
Here is the example that my employer brought to me.

If you click the fast-forward button to slide 6/9 and view that slide, that is basically what we are after. There is text from the narration under "Slide Commentary" on the left. There is also an area where you can skip to other lessons under "Workshop Sessions" (this doesn't work now, as this is just a demo).
From what I can tell with captivate, there are several things that I can't (or don't know how to) do.
1. The "scrubber" on the bottom left corner to advance/rewind (can be included with Captivate's built-in controls though)
2. The accordion menu on the left, don't think Captivate will do that
3. The Slide Commentary scrollable text area
I know Captivate does a bunch of cool quizzing stuff and is great for learning management systems, but we aren't going to be using that stuff, at least not now. Screen capture is something we are more likely to use in the near future. I should also mention I have Jing for screen capture, but haven't played with that yet.
Thanks for any advice! ![]()
