I am making some demo, I don't use any narration. How do I tell the viewer when to use left mouse click and when to use right mouse click? Can it be done automatically?

Thank you for your advice.

For a 15 minutes Photoshop demonstration I might use the right click 40 to 50 times, inserting 40 to 50 caption, sound or animation to the correct frame after the recording is not a very light job.

I really hope I can find an automatic or semi-automatic solution.

If you do manage to find a solution would you mind posting how you solved this problem to the forum?

Hi, i have done my homework first before I post, so I have read all those threads : ) They seem to be about interactive video that need the user to do right click action.

I just need a visual left mouse click, right mouse click clue created automatically that let the viewer know I am pressing which button on the mouse. It is just a demonstration, not interactive video.

Hello Simon,

Hmmm, I don't think that there is anything in Captivate that will automatically let the leaner know that you are right-clicking...Here are some of the things that I might try.

1. Adding a text caption that notifies the learner that I am right-clicking
2. At the very start of the demonstration point out to learners that when they hear a certain sound this is an indication that I am right-clicking.
3. Create a small animation that shows pressing the right mouse button
4. Use one of the existing animations that you can find in the Adobe Captivate 2 gallery such as visual clicks and again point out at the beginning of the demo that when they see this animation you are performing a right-click action, you could also record or import audio onto your animation if you so desired.

Those are my (of the top of my head) thoughts . I am sure that there are others.
