Custom
  Select this option to choose the objects, such as captions, highlight boxes, and click 
boxes that you want to add automatically to the project. You can also choose to automatically 
create text entry boxes.

(Optional) No matter which option you select, you can click Edit settings, to edit exactly what 
you want automatically created when you record a project. For example, after selecting 
Demonstration in step 5, you might decide that you don’t want to include highlight boxes. You 
can click Edit settings and clear the Automatically add highlight boxes when the mouse is 
clicked option, but retain the other settings.
About recording and creating new projects
You have many options for creating new projects; you can record a project containing almost 
anything on your computer screen. Adobe Captivate makes it simple to record an application, a 
specific-sized project, or a full screen project. You can also create a scenario simulation project by 
using a project template to ensure consistency or by following the Project wizard. Alternatively, 
you can start from a blank project, or by importing image or PowerPoint files.
Adobe Captivate makes creating a new project easy. When you record an Adobe Captivate 
project, you use the application or website you want to demonstrate as you would normally—by 
moving the mouse, using the keyboard, and navigating through menus. As you work, Adobe 
Captivate captures the onscreen action automatically, or you can capture screenshots manually. 
When you finish recording, you can set options and add components such as text captions, audio, 
images, and highlight boxes. In addition to beginning a project by recording, you can create new 
projects by following the Project wizard, or using a template.
Adobe Captivate contains a feature called “full motion recording” that automatically captures 
frames at a higher frame rate when you record any drag-and-drop actions.
About recording software simulation projects
You can create software simulation projects. The recording process has some unique options as 
shown below:
Application
  Records all selected action within a single running application. 
Custom size
  Records all selected action within a custom-defined area. If you select this option, 
set a custom size in the Width and Height boxes or select a commonly used size from the Preset 
Size pop-up menu. 
Full screen
  Records all onscreen action. This option is especially useful if you need to capture 
action taking place in multiple applications. 
Tip: If you need to pause recording, press the Pause/Break key. To restart recording, press Pause/
Break again.
About creating scenario simulations
You can easily create scenario-based or interaction-based training content, such as content for call 
center training which addresses soft skills as well as software skills. You can follow the Project 
wizard or choose to create your project from a simulation template.
