Correct answer Lilybiri

It is working on cptx but it creates slide rather than video. How it will work on video demo. Kindly help.

Thanks


You are a newbie? It is not because the software simulations are slide-based that they don't look like a video when published. Just FYI.

For a cpvc: there is no pause button. I always record in small chunks myself, preparing sort of a storyboard and create several short video clips in the same video with this work flow:

  • Capture the first clip, stop with End button but leave the application you are recording open
  • Go into the Video editor (Edit button bottom right)
  • Put the playhead at the end of that first clip
  • Choose Insert, Video Recording
  • Create second video clip, end it with the End button
  • Second clip will be inserted after the first clip as you'll see in the Video editor
  • You can create a transition between the two clips while editing
  • Put the playhead at the end of the second clip, and you are ready for a new clip

Perhaps, the most widely used applications are from adobe and I found this company the greediest. Not a single application is user friendly. I think they presume every customer is a software engineer. I don't know why they do so. Moreover, their troubleshooting and support system confuses more than that of the application. Still facing problems using this captivate. But, now I have decided not to use any of adobe software or applications further.

Here's a question: 

If most people are NOT software engineers, AND none of the Adobe apps are user friendly, WHY would they end up being the most widely used?

 

Something about these statements does not make sense.

Listen! your widely used application is the only PDF reader, and that is also the free version. Your other products are not for common people. Pl. check your user statistics, you will know more. I don't know in which eutopia you people live. 

Hope this will make sense 😀

I request you people, either make easy to use applications or provide understandable troubleshoots.

Are you talking about the creation of a cpvc file (Video Demo) or capturing a simulation in a cptx project?
