Adding Images and Animation

You can add a wide variety of images and animations to your Adobe Captivate projects. 

Adding images

Images can add a new dimension to Adobe Captivate projects. There are a variety of ways to 
incorporate images into projects, including using them as logos, splash screens, pointers, 
backgrounds, buttons, and more. 

You can add images in the following formats: JPG, JPEG, GIF, PNG, BMP, ICO, EMF, or WMF.

Tip: Adobe Captivate contains a gallery that has buttons, sounds, and animations (in SWF format) 
for you to use in your projects. By default, the gallery is stored in the following location when you 
install Adobe Captivate: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 2\Gallery.

(Optional) You might be asked if you want to crop or rescale the image.

Crop

  This option centers the image and crops the edges of the image that do not fit into the 

capture size area.

Rescale

capture size area.

Transparency

between 0-100% with a low number resulting in a brighter version of the image and a higher 
number displaying a dimmer image.
