Adobe 65029940 - Captivate - PC Using Manual page 155

Note: The Include Breeze metadata option is on by default. This option increases the size of
the project. If you are not going to use the project with Macromedia Breeze, you can deselect
the option and decrease the size of the finished project file (SWF). However, if there is the
possibility that the output file (SWF) may be used in Breeze, it is a good idea to select the
Include Breeze metadata option.
508 compliance: If you need to create Captivate projects that are Section 508 compliant and
accessible for viewers with disabilities, select this option. Using this option, your project will be
more readable by screen readers.
Frames per second: This option sets the number of Flash frames that display per second. The
default setting is 30 frames per second and is appropriate in most cases. For example, with the
default setting, a caption that appears for 1 second, requires 30 Flash frames. Dividing the
number of frames in a movie by 30 gives you the length of the movie in seconds. You may need
to change the rate if you are embedding your Captivate SWF in another SWF file that has a
frame rate different than 30.
Movie background color: This option specifies the background color of the movie. Depending
upon the type of slide and how screen shots were captured, the background color may not
appear on all slides. Double-click the color box to open the Color dialog box and select a new
color.
JPEG image quality: Specifies the quality level for JPEG images. You can adjust this setting
depending upon the images used in your movie. (Often, JPEG images are detailed and contain
many colors, so greatly lowering their quality is noticeable.) Higher percentage values allow for
high-quality images. Of course, this also increases file size. Change the quality by clicking the
arrows to select a higher or lower number.
Audio quality: Specifies the quality level for audio included in the movie. A higher quality
setting increases file size.
Note: Selecting a higher quality setting for an audio file does increase the file size. However, at
times, selecting a higher quality will not increase the file size dramatically, but will improve the
quality of the audio significantly. Experiment with different audio quality levels to find the
optimal setting.
Include mouse when movie is generated: This option includes any recorded mouse movement
in the movie.
Include audio when movie is generated: This option includes any audio files that have been
added to the movie.
Play tap audio for recorded typing when movie is generated: This option plays tapping sounds
in the final movie to represent recorded keystrokes. (For example, if you recorded an e-mail
message being sent, you most likely typed an address to which the e-mail should be sent. The
sound of the keys being pressed to enter the address was recorded and, using this option, a
tapping sound can be played for each of the keystrokes.)
Playback Controls
Position: Select the screen location for the playback control buttons. Click the pop-up menu
