Captivate 3 recording clicks early

Hi Chris,

To prevent situations like this (in other similar programs as well as Captivate), I've learned that it can be useful to do an extra "click", somewhere on the screen, before important steps that you want to capture. These extra steps can be easily hidden/deleted later, but it essentially ensures that you have a "before" and "after" screenshots that look exactly like you want them to. You can then move your events, mouse clicks, etc. around like you want, or change/replace/edit backgrounds (MS Paint can be useful after all... who would have thought?).

Good luck,

David

As an update:

The specific problem is click boxes. If you do a custom capture to demonstrate "clicking the Edit menu in Word", and you enable click boxes for your capture, the very first screenshot shows the Edit menu highlighted the whole time (how does it know that I'm intending to click this menu? isn't this screenshot captured the moment I start recording - before I even click?).

If you disable click boxes and do the same capture, the edit menu is not highlighted.

Is there any solution? (This does no happen in Cap 1 - but I never used Cap 2.)

Thanks!
Chris
