    I was wondering about something similar I saw in a Captivate tutorial on YouTube. The mouse pointer has a yellow highlighter circle. Makes me wonder if they built a new mouse pointer in Flash and loaded that as their mouse pointer.

    Hi there

    I'd be willing to bet this video was recorded using Camtasia Studio. The yellow circle behind the mouse is a feature that is easily added to those videos.

    Hi there

    I could be wrong here, but I always thought it is a function of the Mac recording software called ScreenFlow.

    Hopefully someone that knows beyond a shadow of a doubt will chime in here.

    Cheers... Rick

    I have not seen Lynda.com courses. But have you tried Custom Mouse Clicks options?

    Select the mouse pointer. > Properties. Below the Show Mouse Click check box, you have a dropdown where you can select Custom and choose among the options that is displayed.
