Full Motion Recording

When you record screen actions using Captivate’s automatic modes (Demonstration or one of the Simulations), clicking your mouse or pressing [print screen] on your keyboard results in a screen capture.

However, if you need to capture complex procedures like drawing, moving or resizing an object, you can use Full Motion Recording (FMR). Assuming you have not disabled the FMR mode, and that you are recording a lesson in an automatic recording mode, all you need to do to create an FMR is drag your mouse during the recording process. When you finish the recording process, any slides containing FMR videos will contain a movie camera icon when viewed on the Edit tab. The FMR will play like an animation within your project—a movie within a movie.
