Click Screen Area or Application based on what you want to record and specify the associated options:
Screen Area
Select this option when you want to capture all events that occur within an area on the screen.
Custom Size
Select this option if you want to customize the dimensions of the recorded project. You can choose from a list of standard sizes, or define a custom size. The selected application is automatically resized to fit inside the boundaries of the recording area. Best practice is to have a clear idea of the dimensions of the project before you start recording it.
Full Screen
Select this option if you want to set the size of the recording window to the size of your computer monitor. The entire computer screen is treated as the recording window. If you work on dual monitors, you can choose the monitor that you want to use for recording. Recording in this mode can potentially produce large projects and output file sizes due to the large screen resolution on monitors.
Application
Select this option to specify the application which you want to record. The Select The Window To Record drop-down lists all the open applications on your computer. Click the required application from this list.
Application Window
Select this option if you want to record the entire application window. The dimensions of the application are not altered. The recording rectangle is resized to fit the application.
Application Region
Select this option if you want to record defined areas in an application. For example, if you are recording a window that has three frames, the recording window snaps to individual frames when the mouse moves over them. The dimensions of the application are not altered. The recording rectangle is resized to fit the defined area in the application.

- Select a panning mode if you want the recording window to follow your movements across the screen. For more information, see Panning.

A. CPVC file is slightly different from the regular Adobe Captivate project or a CPTX file. The following table summarizes these differences:
CPTX file |
CPVC file |
|---|---|
Is based on a 'slide' paradigm. After recording, you can see the individual slides in the Filmstrip. |
Is not based on the 'slide' paradigm. After recording, the file contains a single video clip that you can see in the Timeline. |
You can edit every slide in the Filmstrip by clicking them. |
You can edit the video clip to cut, copy, or trim it between two points using the Video Editing options in the Properties. |
You can insert both interactive and non-interactive objects. |
You can insert only the non-interactive objects, text captions, and highlight boxes. |
You can insert quizzes. |
You cannot add quizzes directly. You can create a separate CPTX project with assessments, publish the CPVC files as MP4 files, and insert into the CPTX project. |
You can preview the whole project, the current slide, or specific slides. |
You can preview either the whole project or the current frame on stage. |
Click anywhere on the stage outside the recorded video to view the properties of the video demo in the Property Inspector.
Stage
Click to change the fill color of the project background. You can also apply gradient fills or pattern fills for the background. For more information on gradient fills, see Apply gradient fills and Apply texture fills.
Background
Click <<browse icon>> to select an image as the background. This background is visible on the frames that do not contain the recorded video. For example, you split the video and insert objects such as a text caption between the video clips. The background is applied to the frame with the text caption.
note: If the image you choose is larger than the dimensions of the video frame, the Resize/Crop Image dialog box appears. Choose appropriate options to continue.
Start Time

End Time
Indicates until which point in Timeline the video is published. By default, the value is set to the end of the video clip.
Use Start Time and End Time options to publish a portion of the video. For example, if the total length of the video is 60 seconds, you can publish a portion of the video from 10 to 45 seconds.
Audio

The Timeline in video projects is different from CPTX projects in terms of how objects and videos are grouped:
In video projects, unlike CPTX projects, all objects are placed in a single layer in the Timeline
PIP videos and recorded video clips are placed in different layers
Audio and recorded video clips are placed in the same layer
The pan and zoom effect helps you draw users' attention to a specific area or an action in the video. For example, in a software simulation, you can pan the screen to a group of icons and then zoom in closer to a specific icon.
-
Click Pan & Zoom in the Timeline. The Pan and Zoom icon appears in the video clip and the Pan & Zoom panel appears.
The Pan & Zoom panel displays the frame at the point you chose in the video.
Pan and zoom buttonMerk:
To move the pan and zoom point to a different location on the video clip, drag-and-drop the icon.
-
To specify the area to be magnified, resize the blue box around the frame using the handles. Then, drag-and-drop the box to the required position on the frame. The smaller the box, the greater is the magnification.
You can also specify the magnification value in terms of percentage using the Scale slider or box.
Pan and Zoom options
To remove the transition effect, click the transition icon, and click No Transition from the Transitions panel.
You can split the video clip to insert separator text or videos (PIP). For example, you can split the video clip to insert a summary of what users learned until that point in the video.
When you split a video clip, the resultant clips continue to exist on the same layer in the Timeline.
Here's an example of how you can insert separator text between two parts of a video clip:
-
Merk:
The text caption appears as a separate frame or a slide. The background of this screen is the one that you set for the video project. To change the background, drag-and-drop the stage anywhere outside the video, and then click Stage in the Property Inspector.
You can make the transition between the video clips interesting by adding effects. When you split a video clip, a transition icon appears at the split point in the Timeline. Click the icon to choose an effect from the Transitions panel.
Merk:
Each video clip has a transition icon at the beginning and end. If you move the second video clip, another transition icon appears at the beginning of the clip. When you merge the transition icons by placing the video clips next to each other, the transition effect used in the subsequent video clip is retained.
