Video Demo is unworkable!

[Typositor]

I'm sorry, but Captivate is RUBBISH for doing video demos. If I had a pound for everytime it has crashed or corrupted a project I could retire. I've just lost over an hour's work (again) because I committed the cardinal sin of adding a highlighting box and now the document just freezes the program completely. At other times, it loses the video, or relabels it as a highliting box, or adds rows UNDERNEATH it on the timeline, or suddenly won't allow any editing on anything that inhabits the row immediately above the video. Seriously guys - I'm a huge fan of other Adobe products, but this is worse than the most flaky freeware I've ever had the misfortune to use. Not fit for purpose is an understatement.

You sound like a Mac user.  Is it possible you could give us a little more information about your OS, your Cp version, whether or not you have all latest patches and updates, etc, etc?
