Question

Publish two videos 1 for webcam separate from on screen video track for further editing & effects

In Adobe Captivate 2019, how can I publish the two video tracks into two separate videos one for webcam and another for screen recording. Right now if I publish (export), it produces only one video. I need to further edit and add after effects. Unfortunately, Adobe Captivate 2019 does not link from within cpt* to Premiere Pro or After Effects in a manner similar to other Adobe cloud software. Also, Captivate file is not editable in Premiere Pro or After Effects. How can I keep the cptx file with its two video tracks? or export the two video tracks.

    Raw files (cpvc, I suspect you are talking about that type) are not editable in PP nor AE, but the published MP4 is editable in them. 

    Now you talk about a cptx file, but the 'two' video tracks you refer to exist only in a cpvc-file or in a Video Demo slide.  Personally I never use the Webcam functionality...

    Thanks for your response. I need to edit both webcam and on screen video and add effects if possible, it would be great if adobe Captivate was integrated with other adobe just like adobe Premiere and adobe After Effects. I thought if I can export the two video tracks that is my webcam and on screen as mp* then I can edit or add effects to them later.

    Though it pains me to say this, if you want a screencapture tool that does exactly what you just said (edit both webcam and on screen video and add effects) then the best current tool on the market to do this happens to be called Camtasia, not Captivate. 

     

    Adobe has (unfortunately) lost sight of the major functionality set that Captivate was once famous for and instead has repeatedly spent each version's development budget bolting on largely unnecessary 'whizz bang' features that very few Captivate users actually need or want.   The company no longer polls its user base for ideas about what new features they need to achieve their day-to-day work.
