I have a friend who created an Iphone app, and she would like me to create a training video for it that she can upload to her company website.  Is there a way to use Captivate to create a simulation like this: http://www.mychairapp.com/??  I am fairly new to Captivate, and would appreciate any help you can offer!  Thank you so much!

I don't think this question has actually been answered fully. How does one actually get the iPhone screen to display on the computer? From what I've been able to gather, on a Mac one can use Xcode + iOS simulator, but locating the proper version of this tool is difficult. Do software programs such as Reflection or LiveView work well for this purpose? Any other ways to do this? I need something that will work on Mac Snow Leopard (10.6.8).

Also, I believe the original poster (and myself) would like to output a video file (not HTML5) to be viewed on a website via a regular computer, not an iPhone. Can one use Captivate 6 and export to MP4?

Hi,

Captivate 6 can produce MP4 output (as well as HTML5). Yes, you can use simulators on a MAC to capture your iPhone, i believe if you google you would find plenty software claiming to achieve that on Windows and some of them do work.

If you have a MAC you can try downloading the Captivate trail for yourself and test out the scenario at your end. You can host your video to your website so that your viewers can see to it.

Please let me know, if you have any other query?

Thanks,

Anjaneai

Hi,

You can connect your iPhone to your Desktop (use a simulater perhaps) and record a Simulation for your Application (File> Record New Project) and then you can produce an output specifically for iPhones and iDevices.

To publish your project for iPhone check  --http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2010/09/publish-to-iphone-from-captivate-5-and-elearning-suite-2.html

Alternately, Adobe Captivate now has a utility that would allow you to publish a HTML5 content too, download the converter from here --

Let me know if have any other query.

Thanks,

Anjaneai
