Using full motion recording

Captivate contains a useful feature called "full motion recording" that can automatically capture
frames at a higher frame rate when you record any drag-and-drop actions while auto recording a
new movie or additional slides for an existing movie. By capturing at a higher rate, drag-and-drop
actions display much smoother in the final Captivate SWF file. This results in a more realistic
experience for users.
If you enable the full motion feature, Captivate will start to capture frames at a higher rate any
time you click on an object and drag the object while auto recording a new movie or slides. You
will know that full motion recording has begun by looking at the Captivate icon in the system
tray (lower right corner of your computer screen).When you are recording normally, the icon
appears as a regular icon. When full motion recording automatically begins, the icon displays with
red borders and flashes.To stop full motion recording, stop dragging or press an end recording key
(defaults are F10 to stop full motion recording or END to stop recording completely).
Note: Note: Using the mouse wheel will not start full motion recording.
When you finish recording, Captivate generates the slides that comprise the movie and displays
the slides in Captivate Storyboard view. Any drag-and-drop actions that were recorded as full
motion slides are displayed in Storyboard view with a movie camera icon in the lower right corner
of the slide. Full motion slides are saved and included in movie projects as animation slides.
Tip: Tip: For best capture results, especially with full motion recording, perform actions (dragging,
clicks, typing) slowly.
The full motion recording feature is enabled by default. You can disable it, though, at any time.
