Recording tricks and tips
The following tips and tricks can help you create Adobe Captivate projects quickly and easily, while also giving
you professional, high-quality results.
Tip 1 - Consider auto-recording
Adobe Captivate lets you create projects in two ways.
You can record onscreen action manually. This means that each time you want to capture what is displayed on
your screen, you press the Print Screen key (or another designated key) on the keyboard. Then you make a change
on your screen (such as moving your mouse, clicking an icon, or selecting a menu) and press Print Screen again.
You can also let Adobe Captivate automatically record screen action (auto-recording). This option automatically
captures screenshots during the recording process each time you click the mouse, change the focus of your appli-
cation or web page, or press a key.
Another efficient way to create projects is to use auto-recording and manual recording together. Set the auto-
record option, but press Print Screen whenever you need to take an extra screenshot. This method is particularly
effective if you are recording a website that contains many pop-ups, frames, and special effects. If you have the
feature turned on, Adobe Captivate will play a camera shutter sound each time a screenshot is automatically
captured. If you see a special effect take place on the website you are recording, but do not hear the camera shutter
sound, press Print Screen to manually take a screenshot.
