Question

Trouble recording simulation & ppt at the same time

I have downloaded the trial version of Captivate4. I need to put together a presentation for our president that has three windows: the camera, the powerpoint and the software simulation. I need to record it all together and publish. I absolutely cannot figure things out. I have tried for 2 days now. Can you help me? I had wanted us to purchase Captivate, but with so much difficulty and my boss hearing that Camatsia is easier. I am ready to give up.

HELP!

Thanks so much, Rick!

If I leave out the camera feed, how can I just do the powerpoint and the software simulation at the same time. I'd like to have to windows side-by-side if possible.

Hi again Penny

I'm thinking you would configure your PowerPoint to present in a window. Then simply display it alongside the Software and surround both with Captivate and record together.

Welcome to our community, Penny

For recording all that simultaneously Camtasia may be the better choice. Particularly given your requirement of the camera feed. I believe Camtasia offers an inset Camera feed as an option.
