Opening existing movies

Captivate stores movies in a folder named My Captivate Projects, which is placed in your My
Documents folder when Captivate is installed. When you start Captivate, movies stored in the
My Captivate Projects folder are automatically listed on the Start Page under Open a recent
movie. All Captivate projects use the .cp file extension.
To open a movie:
Open Captivate.
1.
Under Open a recent movie, click on the movie you wish to open. If the movie is not listed,
2.
click Open and navigate to the movie (default storage location for movies is My Documents\My
Captivate Projects.
Caution: When opening a Captivate project created with RoboDemo, note the following. Projects
created with RoboDemo versions prior to version 4 use a .ncp or .fcz file extension. RoboDemo 4
and 5 projects use the .rd or .fcz file extension. Captivate upgrades older projects as they are opened
in Captivate and gives them the new Captivate file extension of .cp.

Importing AVI software tutorials

You can import existing AVI software tutorials directly into Captivate to create a new movie.
When you import an AVI software tutorial, Captivate creates a new movie and converts each slide
in the AVI file to a Captivate slide. After the new movie opens, you can perform all usual
Captivate tasks such as adding objects, changing timing, and publishing the movie.
To import an AVI software tutorial:
Open Captivate.

From the File menu, select Import.

The Import Project dialog box appears.
Enter the name of the AVI software tutorial to import. You can also click Browse, navigate to
