Episode 3 - Recording a movie
In this epidosde we record a demonstration movie with Captivate to show the ease of use and power in Captivate. This is an overview of the process and we’ll go into greater detail on creating projects in future podcasts.



I am just starting, and Captivate has been frustrating. Considering upgrading from Camtasia, but observed in your video- you still use camtasia. Why?

Hi Joe,
Captivate and Camtasia have some features in common, but they are very different tools.
Captivate is truly an e-Learning development tool that can be used for software simulation training as well as soft skills training.
Camtasia is stronger in the movie metaphor and takes better screenshots for a movie. We then take the AVI files and edit them with our intros/outros in Sony Vegas Pro 9.
Captivate can also generate an AVI file, but that’s really for a demo mode with litle interactivity.
For e-Learning development I would use Captivate.
