Overview of this book

Adobe Captivate is used to create highly engaging, interactive, and responsive eLearning content. This book takes you through the production of a few pieces of eLearning content, covering all the project types and workflows of Adobe Captivate. First, you will learn how to create a typical interactive Captivate project. This will give you the opportunity to review all Captivate objects and uncover the application's main tools. Then, you will use the built-in capture engine of Captivate to create an interactive software simulation and a Video Demo that can be published as an MP4 video. Then, you will approach the advanced responsive features of Captivate to create a project that can be viewed on any device. And finally, you will immerse your learners in a 360o environment by creating Virtual Reality projects of Adobe Captivate. At the end of the book, you will empower your workflow and projects with the newer and most advanced features of the application, including variables, advanced actions, JavaScript, and using Captivate 2019 with other applications. If you want to produce high quality eLearning content using a wide variety of techniques, implement eLearning in your company, enable eLearning on any device, assess the effectiveness of the learning by using extensive Quizzing features, or are simply interested in eLearning, this book has you covered!

Downsizing the application during shooting

The second approach is to change the size of the application during recording to match the size of the final product. In this example, it means that the application would be 800 pixels wide instead of 1024 pixels during the capture.

This is the easiest solution, as no irreversible or complex resize operation is needed. But when capturing the application, the screen is very crowded. Remember that the application you capture requires a minimal width of 1024 pixels. So, by downsizing it to a width of 800 pixels, it does not have enough room to display all its components and creates horizontal scrollbars. The scrollbars and any scrolling actions will be recorded and appear in the final Captivate project. Scrollbars sometimes hide important information from the screen, and therefore, from your students.
