How to get a custom screen capture size smaller than my slide size

Hi there

This should be simple. From Captivate, when you set it up to record you simply define an area there.

Or are you possibly saying you cannot consistently get a size set so that you can record many different projects perhaps over several days? If that's the case, perhaps you need to investigate using something like the freeware Sizer utility to configure things a bit.

Capture slides will always have the total resolution of the project. But after capturing you can resize the project so that it will fill only a part of it. Have a look at this pretty old blog post, that explains the use of a knockout template:
