Alternatively, if you start a project by following the Project wizard, you'll be prompted to select the window size as you follow the steps. Using full motion recording Adobe Captivate contains a useful feature called "full motion recording." When you auto-record a new project or additional slides for an existing project, you can use full motion recording to automatically capture frames at a higher frame rate, particularly when you record any drag-and-drop or mouse wheel scrolling actions. By capturing at a higher rate, drag-and-drop and scrolling actions are displayed more smoothly in the final Adobe Captivate SWF file. This results in a more realistic experience for users. If you enable the full motion feature, Adobe Captivate starts to capture frames at a higher rate when you click an object or perform mouse wheel actions while auto-recording a new project or slides. You know that full motion recording has begun when you see the Adobe Captivate icon in the system tray (lower-right corner of your computer screen). When you are recording normally, the icon appears as a regular icon. When full motion recording automatically begins, the icon displays with red borders and flashes. To stop full motion recording, stop dragging or scrolling or press an end recording key (defaults are F10 to stop full motion recording or END to stop recording completely).
