I need your advice, I want to create a video using screen shots in Captivate. I am basically using voice over and the screen shots with a pointer, in between the screen shots there will be some graphics and text with the procedures. I mostly want to show what button to press, etc.

thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge.

Peace.

Henry

Correct answer Lilybiri

Did you look at the Software simulation work flow in Captivate? After recording a demo or a training simulation, (cptx-project) you can insert other slides, add static and interactive objects, audio, video, whatever you want. For the output you have the choice; either a pure video (mp4) or a interactive course (HTML5 or SWF) which is much more efficient than a video for the goal you explained. If you want a pure video, you could use captiure a Video Demo in Captivate as well, which has only output to mp4. You mention Premiere Pro as well, I have to disappoint you because the raw material in Captivate cannot be opened directly in PP, you need to open the published mp4. The Video Demo (cpvc) has a dedicated editor that has not all the bells and whistles of PP of course.

You have to make the choice before recording: either you choose for a Video Demo or for a software simulation. In the last scenario you can choose to do the capture in Demo, Training or Assessment mode and it is also possible to do the three modes (or two) in the same recording session. There is no way to convert a video demo to a softwre simulation nor the reverse.

Hello, you guys are freaking great…..

I did it, only thing left is the text to speech but I couldn’t find that feature in Cap9. I saw a video for Cap8 that said you needed to download something and then go to windows and get to slide notes? I wasn’t sure what to download and I will probably have an issue trying to get IT administrators to do that for me. But if I can get the correct info I will try, or if there’s a workaround I welcome that as well.

Also, can I create a intro page for my demo video?

Thank you so much,
