Tips for introductory slides
Below are several tips for creating impressive introductory slides.
•
Use an image for the first slide: Create an image or use your company logo for the opening
slide in your movie. Insert the image as a slide or add a graphic to a blank slide.
•
Add sound: Captivate makes it easy to add sound to movies, and sound is very powerful in an
introduction. You can add existing sound files or record your own voice-over. You can include
a welcome message or play some appropriate music.
Tip: Captivate contains a gallery that has buttons, sounds, and animations (in SWF format) for you to
use in your projects. By default, the gallery is stored in the following location when you install
Captivate: C:Program Files\Macromedia\Captivate\Gallery.
