how can one use automatic panning effectively in captivate 8 ?
I am trying to capture some screen sessions ina software tool ( it is eclipse based, many out there will be familiar with eclipse) , and occasionally i would like to pan there and zoom. there is an automatic setting in captivate 8, but i don;t see any examples of how to use it. i see that there are limits to what can be done automagocally, but adding everything afterwards is very time consuming. i have added a discussion point from a related cap 7 discussion below. there should be awa y for a user to set the thresholds, so it works to suit the needs of the creator.
thanks!

Hi
There have been some changes in the auto-panning behavior of Captivate across versions.
The most note-worthy change being increase in the tolerance bounds beyond which auto-pan kicks in.
In earlier versions, when the mouse moves beyond (approx) 1/4th the dimensions of the recording area away from the center of the recording area, auto-pan would get triggered.
In recent versions, this tolerance limit has been increased to 1/2 of the dimensions of the recording area away from the center of the recording area. In other words, the mouse has to fall on the edges of or further away from the recording area. This has been done to reduce unwanted panning when mouse is well within the recording area.
If this is unsuitable for you and you want the recording to involve a pan action when you move the mouse cursor to the menu item, you may reduce the height of the recordig area before you start recording. This way, when the mouse cursor reaches the menu item, it would fall outside the recording area and an auto-pan will get triggered.
Please let us know if that worked
Cheers
