It’s easy sometimes to feel like your application capture process is going to capture you. Learning to do application capture well can be a considerable challenge. That’s why I wanted to do an eSeminar showing you some of the best application capture examples I have seen. I was thrilled to be able to do this demo to a packed house of well over 200 Adobe Captivate enthusiasts a couple of weeks ago. If you missed it, the recent session on Adobe Captivate and eLearning Suite used to create Application Capture Training (or video capture / screen capture) is now available on demand at the Adobe website. This was an enormously popular session with loads of great tips and tricks about how to go about creating best practice application captures for demos and training.

In this eSeminar I walk listeners / viewers through an introduction to Billy Simington the mistake machine. By following poor Billy’s misadventures we learn a ton of tips and tricks for beginners about how to use AdobeCaptivate. Included were brief discussions of text, rollover text, transitions, preferences, object styles and working with the timeline. I’m also including here a link to the resource files I used in the demo, as well as of course the link to the eSeminar.
