Question

how to edit the final output ?

I have recorded the instructions using Captivate 5, using application mode.


I just realized that, i do not want the users to view the entire application. Instead i want them to view only a portion of the application.


I do know that there is an option while you start recording, to select only a portion of app, but i want to edit the one which i already have.


Could anyone please help me out in this ??


Thanks !

Hello and welcome to the forum,

Your question is not totally clear: you did use application mode, and other settings: Automatic or FMR, if Automatic, did you use Demonstration, Training or Assessment mode?

If it is FMR, the quickest way is to restart the capture, and IMO that is only the best way if you used Automatic with any of the modes I mentioned.

One way to achieve (but with loss of quality) is to rescale the project (Modify menu) and have it cropped to the portion you want to keep. But this means that the resolution will be a lot smaller than the one you first choose and you'll loose quality.

If you do not mind work, you could also lookup the backgrounds in the Library, edit them in a graphical application (like Photoshop) and edit all the other objects as well. But really, choose the easiest way: recapture everything and choose the proper region you want to capture.
