Table 7-2. Recording options
Check this option:
To do this:
Record narration
Record audio while you're recording the visual portion of the movie. You must
have a microphone set up for this to work.
Record actions in real time
Record the actions as they occur at the speed at which you perform them.
Hear camera sounds dur-
ing recording
Captivate can play a sound whenever it captures a screen. The sound, sort of
like that of a camera shutter, is merely a tool to help you identify when the
screens are captured. The sound will not be part of the finished movie.
Record keystrokes
When you type on the keyboard, this setting will cause Captivate to store the
keystrokes (but not capture a full screen for each character typed). The finished
movie will display all the keystrokes without the overhead of a full screen per
letter.
Hear keyboard tap sounds
If you have Record keystrokes turned on, you can have Captivate play a sound
file for each key it stores. The sound file sounds like a keyboard key being
tapped, and is merely a recording tool—the sounds will not be part of the finished
movie. However, you can turn mouse click sounds (either single-click or double-
click) on or off later.
Hide recording window
Remove the red recording area lines from the screen. This does not change the
area that is recorded; it only hides the indication of the outline of the recording
area. This option also temporarily removes the Captivate icon from the Windows
taskbar (usually displayed across the bottom of your screen).
Hide Adobe Captivate task
icon
Temporarily removes the Captivate icon from the Windows taskbar (usually dis-
played across the bottom of your screen).
Hide Adobe Captivate sys-
tem tray icon
Temporarily removes the Captivate icon from the Windows system tray (in the
lower-right corner of your screen).
Move new windows inside
recording area
Ensure that all windows and pop-ups are fully captured when you record. If this is
not selected, the recording process may inadvertently crop some of your
windows.
