Hello Community.
I am a newbie and am looking for training resources for how to capture screen activity, i.e. I want to train people how to do some after effects work on my computer. I would walk students thru how I use AE by walking them thru a project while I explain in audio what I am doing and why. Any suggestions?

Captivate has two workflows:
- Video Demo: allows to capture as pure video. You’ll end up with a cpvc-file, which can be published only to MP4. That means you end up with a passive video.
However you can use the MP4 in a normal cptx file on a slide, and convert it into an interactive video. In that situation you can have multiple overlay slides with static information and/or with Knowledge Check questions. You can even add more slides or create several short video clips, and insert static slides in between the video slides. - Oldest way which made Captivate famous and still available is to capture a Software simulation. Such a simulation is slide based, only creates video slides when necessary (like for dragging or other mouse actions). Such a software simulation can be captured in 3 default modes: Demo, Training, Assessment. Easier to edit due to slide based. You may find Training or Assessment mode especially interesting for your students. I have found Captivate with that goal in mind because in university college I was teaching many software applications from MS and Adobe. A well-known combination (which can also be done from a simultaneous capture in three modes) is a course with a branching menu to ‘Show me, Let me Try, Test me’ scenario.
I didn’t write many blogs about capturing for multiple reasons. Here is one link:

I will post a link to one of my interactive videos, to show what is possible for software training with that workflow.
