Setting Caption Speed Automatically; Changing Keystroke Speed; Changing Mouse Pointer Speed - Adobe 65029940 - Captivate - PC Using Manual

The slide timing is contained in a Timeline object named "Slide." To shorten or lengthen the
4.
amount of time it takes for the slide to play, click the right edge of the Slide object until the
resize pointer appears, and drag the edge to the left or right. Captivate shows the amount of time
the slide will appear, in parentheses, next to the word Slide. The maximum amount of time a
slide can appear is 1 hour (3600 seconds).

Setting caption speed automatically

Captivate contains an option that automatically calculates caption timing. This default option
uses the length of caption text to determine how long a caption should appear.
To set caption speed automatically:
Open a Captivate movie that contains captions.
1.
From the Options menu, select Calculate Caption Timing. (A check mark appears in front of
2.
the option when it is selected.)

Changing keystroke speed

You can determine whether keystrokes are played slowly or quickly in a movie. If the movie has
many keystrokes, increasing the speed will make the pace of the movie faster. However, if
keystrokes are critical in the movie, you may want them to play slowly so users can view them
clearly. Use the Timeline to change keystroke speed.
To change keystroke speed:
Open a Captivate movie that contains keystrokes.
1.
Double-click on a slide that contains keystrokes.
2.
If the Timeline is not already displayed, expand it by clicking the display arrow to the left of the
3.
word Timeline.
The keystrokes are contained in a Timeline object named "Typing." To decrease or increase the
4.
keystroke speed, click the right edge of the Typing object until the resize pointer appears, and
drag the edge to the left or right.

Changing mouse pointer speed

You determine the speed at which the mouse moves on any individual slide in a movie. A high
mouse speed increases the pace at which the movie plays. However, if mouse movements are
complicated, you may want to decrease the mouse speed so users can view all movements.
To change mouse pointer speed:
Open a Captivate movie.
1.
Double-click on a slide that contains mouse movement.
2.
If the Timeline is not already displayed, expand it by clicking the display arrow to the left of the
3.
word Timeline.
