Let's pretend that you're creating a lesson on Notepad for an instructional course. Your script may look like this: If you're using the Video recording type, the script will help you practice the on-screen actions that will be recorded by Captivate. If you're taking screenshots using the Automatic recording type, the script will help you determine the screenshots you want to use. To create the script, you write down those steps, then rehearse them before you record them. The videos show the actions you've taken on your screen. If you use a software program, it will record you doing that. If you surf the web or visit a website, it will show that.īefore you start to create a screenshot or video, you want to rehearse the script. The script is the actions that will be taken. Video doesn't create screenshots, it creates videos. Manual requires that you press a key each time you want to take a screenshot. In Windows, the default key is the Print Screen key.
There are three recording types within the Captivate program: Automatic, Manual, and Video.Īutomatic records the steps you take by taking a screenshot each time you click your mouse. Automatic has four different capture modes: Demonstration, Assessment Simulation, Training Simulation, and Custom. We'll talk about these in this article. You can purchase Snagit for either Windows or Mac. If you have a third party program to capture screenshots and make screen recordings, you can use it to create those things for your Captivate project. However, Captivate also offers you the tools to take screenshots and recordings within the program. To take these screenshots, we used a program called Snagit. We took snapshots of the various screens in Adobe Captivate and inserted them into the various articles to help teach you the program. Screen captures are snapshots or videos of what is being displayed on your computer monitor. You can see examples of screen captures all throughout this course.
