Resolution Size

Hi Anne -

I tried that previously and it does not work. It does not capture the full screen. I would like to display the full screen and not only a portion.

Thanks for your input.

Captivate can certainly record at sizes larger than 1024x768, but if you
deliver the result through a web-browser to a user's monitor that is set
to 1024x768, then they will have to scroll the browser window up and
down, and side to side, to see the entire movie - since the browser
window and toolbars will take up a bit of that 1024x768 space.

Hence the suggestion to record at no more than 790x545, so there is
space left over for the browser interface, toolbars, etc (often referred
to as 'chrome').

So, you launch the application you want to record and it fills your
1024x768 screen. If you set Captivate to record just 790x545, it doesn't
record the full screen you want it too, right?

If that's all true, the easiest possibility is to resize your
application so it is NOT full screen and fits within the 790x545 custom
size. Is that possible?

Hi Deannruss -

Have you tried selecting your recording size, then in the dropdown "Optionally, select a window you'd like to record", choose the window you want. Then click the Snap to Fit button. Does that help?
