Creating projects
When you finish recording, Adobe Captivate generates the slides that comprise the project and displays them in
Adobe Captivate Storyboard view. Any drag-and-drop or mouse wheel scrolling actions that you recorded as full
motion slides are displayed in Storyboard view with a movie camera icon in the lower-right corner of the slide.
Full motion slides are saved and included in projects as animation slides.
Tip:For best capture results, especially with full motion recording, perform actions (dragging, clicks, typing) slowly.
The full motion recording feature is enabled by default. You can disable it, though, at any time.
To disable full motion recording of drag-and-drop or mouse wheel actions:
Open an Adobe Captivate project
1
Select Edit > Preferences.
2
The Preferences dialog box appears.
3 In the Category panel, expand Recording, and select Full Motion Recording.
4 Clear the Automatically use full motion capture for drag-and-drop actions option or the Automatically use full
motion capture for mouse wheel actions option.
5 Click OK.
Using recording modes
Adobe Captivate not only records projects automatically, but also customizes what objects are added to the
projects you automatically create, based on the purpose of your project. This feature is called recording modes.
For example, by selecting a recording mode, you can easily create projects that are appropriate to use as simula-
tions or demonstrations. This enables you to create projects quickly because Adobe Captivate does much of the
work.
Adobe Captivate lets you record scenario simulations in multiple modes, which you can select in the Recording
dialog box.
Note: Recording modes can only be used when you are using Auto Recording. If you record projects manually, the
modes are not available.
To select and use a recording mode:
1 On the Start page, click Record or create a new project.
The New project options dialog box appears.
