Hi There
Captivate, and elearning in general, is new to me so I am looking for all tips possible here!
I am doing an introductory video for an online course I am developing. This video includes some animations, done in Adobe Animate (as I explain what the software package can do) and then I move onto some screen capture clips whilst I give a brief description of each lesson topic.
So I have an animation, converted to a video clip, as well as the screen captures done in Captivate, also converted to movie clips.
All these clips are put together using Premiere Pro to make the full video, and I have added the audio file that accompanies the video.
So a few questions:
- Is this the right way to do this kind of thing?
- What are your processes to follow for the above type content.
- What other methods could make a video of this type easier to compile?
Any tip here are helpful, so thanks in advance.
I hope my comment was clarifying, not confusing? If you need more details, please just ask for them.
You seem very proficient with several Adobe apps, but I would not proceed that way. eLearning is all about interactivity, and a video (which is your end result) is not at all interactive (even if you add some limited interactivity with the new Interactive video feature). Keep the software simulations in their normal state. If you insist on animations created with Animate CC, publish them as OAM’s, not as video. Personally I would try to create them with Effects in Captivate. Create extra slides, with instructions for the learner, in between the existing slides, and give control to the learner by inserting custom buttons. I rarely will use a software sim in its Demo version, but prefer to add at least some slides from the Training or Assessment mode. It is all about interactivity!!!
