Question

Captivate 3 - What I record isn't always reflected accurately in the play back.

I have been attempting to use Adobe Captivate 3 to record short video tutorials.  Everything seems very straight forward until I play back my slides. I then find that what I thought I had recorded isn't reflected in the slides. For example, I may have selected an 'OK' button low down on the page.  In play back the mouse doesn't reach the OK button but appears to click half way down a page.  There must be something simple that I am doing wrong but I don't know what it is.  I just want to be able to set up Captivate to record and play back exactly what I'm doing on the screen. I don't want to have to go through every slide readjusting things.  I'm sure it is some simple set up error that I'm making. Can someone advise me please?

    Hello,

    Could you explain how you did the capture: Full Motion Recording, Automatically (demonstration or simulation). I'd recommend the last one, but try to be a bit slower when performing actions, listen for the clicks that indicate that this has been captured. You can also force manually extra slides by using the PrintScreen key. You can also do the whole capture manually, if you want to.
