    Correct answer Lilybiri

    What i want to do is : During the recording process, by maximizing my sample window application(like msword , ...) , the capture window also  automatically  maximizing . Is it possible?


    No that is not possible, since the CP-file has to keep the same resolution (p.e. 1024x768) all the time. This is what I tried to explain. You could rescale a project, but this is not recommendable if it will be upscaling because of loss of quality. Or you could capture the part of the small window apart and insert it as a SWF in the main movie.

    What is the reason for changing the resolution of the sample window if you do not want to show the action of maximizing?

    Will be back tomorrow, it is late night over here.

    Hello,

    You have to choose the resolution (size) of the capturing window, because this will be the resolution of your CP-file. So if you want to resize something and this has to be visible, you'll have to choose a resolution, size of the capture window that is large enough to capture the resized window. This means that you cannot just snap to the original small window.

    I'm trying to capture a movie

    from My computer window.

    suppose that the window is not maximized and start the recording process.so the capture window has for example 800*600.

    after that during the recording process i decide to maximaize the my computer window but the capture window has the previous value and can not capture the whole new window. this is my problem . can you help me?

    Hello,

    Do you want to show in the capture that the window is maximizing? Than you will have to choose a resolution that corresponds with the resolution of the maximized window. When your capture the not yet maximized window, it will occupy only partially the capture window. You can show the maximizing by switching temporily to Full Motion Recording (F10, F9 to return to automatic recording). Hope this makes sense to you, do not know your level of experience with Captivate.
