Chapter 3:  Basics

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.

Adding existing audio

You can quickly add audio to a project if you already have audio files in WAV or MP3 format. 
Simply import the files and use them as opening music, background narration, instructions, or 
any other purposes.

Note: When WAV files are imported into Adobe Captivate projects, they are automatically converted 
to MP3 files.

To add audio to a slide:

1.

Open an Adobe Captivate project.

2.

Do one of the following:

■

In Storyboard view, select a slide. From the Audio menu, select Import. 

■

In Edit view, from the Audio menu, select Import. 

The Import Audio dialog box appears.

Tip: Audio recordings are stored in the Library and can be reused. You can add audio to a slide 
object by dragging and dropping an audio object onto a slide object.

3.

Navigate to the audio file (WAV or MP3) you want to add to the slide, select the audio file, and 
click Open.

4.

(Optional) If the playing time of the audio file is longer than the playing time of the slide, a 
dialog box appears asking you to choose an option for matching the length of the slide display 
to the length of the audio file. Choose an option and then click OK.

Recording audio while creating a project

Adobe Captivate lets you record an audio track at the same time you record a new Adobe 
Captivate project. This can be a very efficient way to create a full-featured project quickly.

The following procedure explains how to record audio while creating an Adobe Captivate project 
about an application. The procedure is similar if you create a custom size or full-screen Adobe 
Captivate project.

To record audio and a new Adobe Captivate project at the same time:

1.

Open the application you want to record. (You must do this before recording.)

2.

Prepare your recording equipment.

3.

Open Adobe Captivate. 

4.

On the Start page, click Record or create a new project. 

The New project options dialog box appears.
