Design tips for custom text captions
•
Colors: The colors in the text caption should not be the same color as the transparent color.
The transparent color is determined by the upper left pixel. For example, if the color in the
upper left pixel is yellow, everything that is the same color yellow will be transparent in the text
caption. Also, the text caption itself can have a gradient background, but the area around
("behind") the text caption, must be a solid color.
•
Anti-alias: Do not anti-alias the edges of your text captions. Your text captions will appear on
different screen shots and the anti-alias might cause a jagged halo effect on some screen shots.

Moving and resizing text captions

You can resize text captions manually or automatically, and move text captions to new locations
on a slide.
Note: If you are resizing a text caption, you cannot make the caption smaller than the bitmap used to
create the caption. For example, the caption style "Pill" uses bitmaps sized approximately 18 pixels
(wide) x 16 pixels (high), so these bitmaps could not be resized down to 15 x 12 pixels. However, any
of the caption bitmaps can be made larger. If you need very small captions, consider creating custom
captions.
To manually resize a text caption:
Open a Captivate movie.
1.
Double-click on a slide that contains a text caption.
