Using a custom keyboard tap sound

Captivate includes a feature that records a keyboard tap sound whenever you press keys on the
keyboard while recording a movie. You can include or exclude the tap sounds. You can also create
a custom keyboard tap sound to use.
To use a custom keyboard tap sound:
Create a new sound for keystrokes, or use an existing MP3 file (for example, one of the
1.
Windows sound files).
Name the new sound file KeyClick.mp3.
2.
Save the file and note the location to which the file is saved.
3.
Using Windows Explorer, browse to the Captivate sound effects folder. (The default location is
4.
C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Captivate\Gallery\SoundEffects.)
Locate the file named KeyClick.mp3. This is the Captivate default keystroke sound file.
5.
Note: Before overwriting the file, you may want to copy and place the original KeyClick.mp3 file in a
backup folder so it can be used again if necessary.
Copy the new keyboard tap sound from the location in step 3 above, and paste it into the
6.
Captivate sound effects folder.
Check that the keyboard tap sounds option is selected.

Adding silence to an audio file

You can add a period of silence to any audio file that is part of a Captivate project. This feature is
particularly useful if you have imported an audio file and need to synchronize the audio with
objects and slides. By adding silent periods, you can make the existing audio file work in a
Captivate project without having to edit the audio extensively.
To add a silent period to an audio file:
Open a Captivate project that contains audio files.
1.
Select a slide that contains an audio file. (In Storyboard view, slides containing an audio file
2.
display the audio icon beneath the slide.)
