Simulation of editing software

Hi all;

I am completely new to Captivate. I write classes for applications Adobe CC and I bought the Captivate to use to explain things to my students.

I'm following the book discovered E-Learning.

When I work with video demos, everything is OK. But when I work with Simulation software, by any means I get the timeline to fit the length of the simulation. It records only the first thing I do (File > New > OK, in Photoshop).

Any help is appreciated!

There are several major differences between Video Demo (pure demo, only the output to a video format) and a software simulation, which can be interactive and also used as an assessment because you can capture such a simulation according to three modes: demo, training, assessment. I recommend always to capture the three at a time, you will be able to combine slides in a single file later. Even files are different; CPVC for demonstration video which has its own editor and cptx for a simulation application.

A simulation will always be one slide per step, which makes it much easier to edit, add voice-over and other objects compared to a normal process of editing video. The default settings for slides are 3 seconds for the user, the experience will be like if he's watching a movie because the transition between slides is smooth. Timeline will never exceed 3 seconds unless you add items later, change the duration of the timeline. It is mostly unnecessary, because in a simulation of training each slide automatically gets an interactive object that goes to pause the slide and prompts the user to 'do' something.

Timeline for cptx-files is the most important to learn feature and I find it very strange that most of the books of Captivate seem not to start with it. Training must start with themes of preferences, Style of object manager, and then focus on the Timeline.

This is an old blog post that will explain some features of the timeline. And too bad, in the Panel of the interface user of Captivate newbie editing is hidden by default, find it personally not very friendly:
