Hear camera sounds during recording: Select this option to play a "camera shutter" sound whenever a screen shot is captured during recording. It is helpful to turn this sound on so you know exactly when a screen shot is captured, especially when using the auto-recording feature. The camera sound is not included in the finished movie. Record keystrokes: Select this option to record keyboard action. Captivate records keyboard input but does not capture screen shots for every character. The keystrokes appear in the finished movie. Hear keyboard tap sounds: Select this option to determine whether keyboard tap sounds are audible during recording. The keyboard tap sounds are not included in the finished movie. Options Hide recording window: Select this option to hide the rectangle that is displayed during recording. It also removes the Captivate icon in the Taskbar, which may be useful when you demonstrate the Taskbar or record with the full-screen options. Hide task icon: Select this option to hide the Task icon during recording. (When you record with the full-screen options, you typically see that Captivate is an open application. If this interferes with what you are recording, you can hide Captivate with this option.) Hide system tray icon: Select this option to hide the System Tray icon during recording. (This icon is the small Captivate icon that displays in the system tray in the lower-right corner of the computer screen. If you need to record that area of the computer screen, but do not want the Captivate icon to display in your movie, this option lets you hide the icon.) Move new windows inside recording area: Select this option to have Captivate automatically take any windows that open while you are recording and move them into the red capture window. This is particularly useful if you are recording an application in which many dialog boxes open as you use the application. 3. To set full motion recording preferences, click the Full Motion Recording tab and select from the following options: Automatically use full motion capture for drag-and-drop actions: Select this option to have Captivate automatically record any drag-and-drop actions (for example, selecting a file or image and dragging it to another area of the application or screen). Show mouse in full motion capture mode: Select this option to include mouse movements in your full motion recording. Record at higher full motion capture rate for smoother movie: Select this option to create a smoother movie (in particular, better mouse movement) by disabling hardware acceleration. When hardware acceleration is turned on, it can use a great deal of system resources and result in "choppy" full motion recording. Turning hardware acceleration off results in better full motion recording quality. If you select this option, your computer screen will briefly flicker when you begin and end full motion recording.This screen flicker does not harm your computer and does not appear in the final movie. Video Quality: This option lets you select a quality level for your video. A high quality, such as 80-100, results in a smooth, attractive video, but is large in size. Selecting a lower quality will result in a smaller file size, but the video may appear blocky. You may want to try several different sizes to achieve the right balance between size and quality. 32 Chapter 3: Creating Movies
