Hiding movies

Captivate allows you to hide a movie on the Start Page. The movie remains in the My Captivate
Projects folder (located within the My Documents folder) on your computer, but is hidden from
view when Captivate is opened and the Start Page appears. The hide option is useful if you have
old movies that you want to retain, but you do not need them to appear whenever you open
Captivate.
To hide a movie on the Start Page:
Start Captivate.
1.
Under Open a recent movie, right-click on a movie and select Hide Movie.
2.
Note: Up to ten movie names can appear in the Open a recent movie list on the Captivate Start Page.

Previewing movies

As you create a Captivate movie, you can preview it. This lets you see your movie the way your
users will see it.
To preview a movie:
Open Captivate.
1.
Open the Captivate movie you want to preview.
2.
Double-click on any slide to open Edit view. (You can also preview from Storyboard view, but
3.
fewer preview options will be available.)
On the toolbar, click Preview and select one of the following options:
4.
Play this slide: Select to preview only the current slide.
Movie: Select to preview the entire movie from start to finish.
From this slide: Select to preview the movie from the currently opened slide to the end.
Next 5 slides: Select to preview the current slide and the following four slides.
In Web Browser: Select to preview the movie in your default web browser (that is, Internet
Explorer, Netscape, Opera, and so on).
Captivate generates the movie and displays it in the preview window.
5.
Tip: You can also preview a single slide using the Timeline.

Renaming movies

You can rename Captivate movie projects (CP files) at any time using Windows Explorer.
When you create Captivate movies, they are saved, by default, into a folder named "My Captivate
Projects" located in the My Documents folder. (You do have the option, however, to save movies
to any location you want.)
To rename a movie:
Open Windows Explorer.
1.
Navigate to the Captivate project (CP file) that you want to rename.
