9 If you selected the Enable auto recording option (previously), click the Captions In pop-up menu to specify a
language for the text that will automatically be generated for captions and tooltips.
10 (Optional) Click Settings to set a wide variety of other recording options, full motion recording settings, and
to change recording keys.
11 (Optional) If necessary, change the size and position of the window. To do this, move the mouse over the red
frame until a four-point arrow appears, and then drag the entire window to a new position.
12 When you finish setting options, click Record.
Adobe Captivate begins recording the onscreen action.
If you are automatically recording (that is, you selected the Enable auto recording), Adobe Captivate automat-
a
ically captures a screenshot every time you perform an action, such as selecting a menu, clicking a button, or
typing text.
Note: When you are auto-recording, you can take a screenshot manually at any time by pressing the Print Screen key.
This is particularly useful if you are capturing a website that contains many pop-ups, frames, and special effects that
are sometimes not auto-recorded. If you see a special effect or change take place on a web page you are recording, but
do not hear the camera shutter sound, press Print Screen to take a screenshot manually.
If you are manually recording (that is, you did not select the Enable auto recording option), press the Print
b
Screen button (or other designated capture key) to capture screenshots.
Use whatever is within the red recording area (for example, an application, a website, and so on) as if you were
demonstrating your actions to someone. If you have sound enabled on your computer and the option is activated,
you will hear a camera shutter sound when screenshots are captured.
Note: When recording an onscreen action, it is best to perform the action more slowly than you would normally. For
example, if you are recording keyboard action, type text slowly.
When you finish recording, press the End key (or the designated key) to end the recording.
