Using the filmstrip

Edit view contains the optional Filmstrip, which lets you see all of the slides in a project and work with them while
editing an individual slide in Edit view. Using Edit view and the Filmstrip together is a fast and productive way to
work in Adobe Captivate.
Note: The Filmstrip also appears in the Advanced Interaction dialog box (Project > Advanced Interaction).
To view the Filmstrip:
1 Open an Adobe Captivate project.
Double-click any slide to open the slide in Edit view.

The Filmstrip appears.
The Filmstrip displays all of the slides in your project in viewing order. You can change the slide order by
a
dragging a slide to a new location within the project. (To select multiple slides, hold down the Shift or Control
key when clicking on slides; to select all slides, press Control+A.)
If a slide has a label (short title) assigned, the label appears under the slide. It can be easier to move slides and
b
jump to a specific slide if you have assigned labels instead of just using the slide number.
If a slide has an audio file associated with it, the audio icon appears in the lower right corner of the slide. You
c
can click the sound icon to show a menu with sound options such a Play, Import, and Edit.
If a slide is locked, the lock icon appears in the lower right corner of the slide. You can click the lock icon to
d
unlock the slide.
If a slide contains mouse movement, the mouse icon appears in the lower right corner of the slide.
e
By default, the Slides panel shows slides in a medium thumbnail view. You can change the size of the slides, if
f
necessary, by selecting View > Thumbnail Size, and then selecting Small, Medium, or Large.
