Can Camtasia and Captivate be combined into one project?

Is there a way to seamlessly combine Camtasia and Captivate into a single Captivate project?  I'd like to capture screens with Camtasia but use Captivate for its quiz interactivity at the end of the project.  Camtasia does a better job of editing screens, zooms and pans are better, but the downside is the larger file size.  So, Camtasia would be the first part of the project and Captivate would be the second part.  Two projects integrated into one.  Any ideas?

Hi there
Interesting thought on combining. No way exists that I'm aware of to seamlessly slice, dice and splice.
You did say someting I'd like to see some clarification on.

Why is it you feel Camtasia is better at editing? To my knowledge Captivate is better at that. Here's what I mean.
With Camtasia, it's like recording using an older 8MM camera. You end up with film. Now you can split the film apart, trim segments out and splice segments together, but you cannot (to my knowledge and I stand to be corrected on this) edit frames to remove or alter information. For example, in Captivate if I record a screen containing sensitive data such as a person's account number, I'm able to edit the image to obliterate the account number. I might have to repeat the process over a few different slides to do it, but it's reasonably easy to do. I don't believe the same capability exists with Camtasia.
One thought here is that perhaps you might create Flash based SWF output from Camtasia. (I think it will output SWF - If not, choose FLV) Then create a single slide Captivate and insert that SWF or FLV as an object on the slide. Then configure the container Captivate to open your other quiz project.
Or, in thinking that way, just insert a blank slide in your quiz project and place the Camtasia content on that blank slide.
Hopefully something here made sense and will help... Rick

  • I Movie 09 can I combine projects into one project?

    Can I combine 3 seperate IMovie projects into one so I can burn a short film to DVD?
    I had three different people shoot 3 different sections of a short for me, now I want to put them in one project together in order and burn a DVD.

    you can copy (copy all) the clips from one project and paste them into another clip, but music and titles will not come with that. If you export one project as a .mov file and then reimport it into iMovie as suggested, that will easily work, but you wont be able to edit that movie's music or titles.

  • Any chance the Mac mini and the Apple TV will be combined into one unit?

    Any chance the Mac mini and the Apple TV will be combined into one unit?

    No.
    The Apple TV is the guts of an iPad without the screen or battery running a different build of the OS. Ie, its very cheap to make and runs an ARM processor (like all iDevices)
    The Mac mini is 6x the price and is a full intel computer running the OS X.
    Now, it could be that the Apple TV gets more powerful and its OS more diverse and "computer like" (apps + iCloud for example), but for now they're still coming from totally different directions.
    They just happen to look alike

  • How can two or more Pages v 5.0 documents be combined into one?

    I have seven, two page documents, made with my own template, that I would like to combine into one 14 page document and then I would like to convert it into a PDF. I know how to do the PDF conversion but need to know how to combine documents.
    Thanks in advance.

    I recognize that many Australians avoid, at all costs, anything that might, even broadly, be considered a product of being mal eleve, to borrow a French expression. I, on the other hand, am a committed degenerate and, as I travel the world, I do my utmost to share the worst of my habits with those I meet. When visiting Australia I have managed to convert several of the locals to a life of committed degeneracy thereby introducing into that pristine land, the first fragments of sin, not unlike the serpent in the garden of Eden.
    When I next visit your shores, I shall do my best to convert you from your current state of total purity and piety to one more closely resembling my own heinous ways.

  • Podcasts won't combine into one album.

    Ever since I upgraded to 9.0.0.70 some of my Podcasts (not all of them) will not combine (append) into the original Podcast album. As I download a new issue, each new Podcast issue creates an ablum of its own. I can't seem to get them to combine into one album - the original album. Why is this happening? How can I combine the new issues into the original album?
    Thanks, Jim Finney

    I resolved my issue.
    Do the following:
    1. Go to settings/main menu and make sure the podcast setting is on.
    2. Connect your iPod to your computer and launch iTunes. On the iTunes menu go to edit/preferences/podcasts and click on the iPod preferences button. Make sure you have the podcasts you want updated checked. (WARNING!!! This step will likely erase and podcasts you have on your iPod now). It should warn you of this.
    This resolved it for me and it now works like a charm. You May not even have to do step 2. Let me know how it works out.

  • Can I merge 3 jpeg files into one PDF on one page?

    Can I merge 3 jpeg files into one PDF on one page? For example: scanned newspaper article was too big for one scan process, I had to scan article 3 times. Can I merge these 3 jpegs and position them like columns?

    Do you have Acrobat? If so, you can use the Add Image tool to place your images on the page where you want them to be. Alternatively, you can combine all 3 to a single PDF and then send that PDF to the PDF Printer, selecting the Multiple option to get them to appear on a single page of the new file.

  • LV freezes when 2 VIs are combined into one

    Hi,
    Please find the attached VI where I have put together both instruNet (P acquisition) and Ohap (weight) VIs into one VI.  I have used write to spreadsheet.vi to record the output.  The iNet VI is programmed to average and record the output every 10 seconds.  I tried using the same approach for the balance VI, but it did not work.  So, looks like the balance is recording the weight every 10 seconds, I am not sure.
    The two VIs run fine when they are executed as two separate VIs.  But, when I combine the two, it freezes.  The run button is bold, but nothing is happening.  No other keys were functional,and I had to do a "ctrl-alt-del".
    NOTE 1. I have run the combined VI earlier with a "write to text.VI" and open/create VI, and there was NO problem.  Also, this earlier VI recorded the raw output for both iNet and Ohap every second.
    NOTE 2. The modified iNet VI (only) with mean, array, spreadsheet - runs fine.
    I am not able to figure out what the problem is.  I am new to both LV and instruNet, and would appreciate if someone could help. 
    Also, just as it is done for the iNet, I would like to get the data from the ohap VI as a mean, say, every 10 seconds or longer.
    Thank you,
    Swarna

    That basically means that something else has the com port open.  Do you have any other programs trying to access the serial port with the balance at the same time?  Take a look inside ohap Read Measurement to see if there is any code there that may be doing something to the VISA resource.  We can't look at it because we don't have those subVI's.
    Though something doesn't make sense about your description.  The error message says it is happening in ohap initialize which only executes once at the beginning of your program.  But you say that it does work properly for awhile.  So you are either having the error in that initialize subVI at the very beginning and then always getting an error.  Or if it reads for awhile, you shouldn't be getting an error from there because it only executes once.
    How are you running your program?  Please, I hope you aren't running it with the Run continuously button.  Though it doesn't look like you would because you do have a classic architecture of initialize before a loop, run in a loop until Stop is pressed, and close resources after a loop.

  • I have nine, 1-page PDF files that are accessible and need to combine into 1 PDF file.  I have tried appending, adding and the combine PDFs process. The file created is not keeping my changes. The created file is partially accessible but I have to re-fix

    I have nine, 1-page PDF files that are accessible and need to combine into 1 PDF file.  I have tried appending, adding and the combine PDFs process. The file created is not keeping my changes. The created file is partially accessible but I have to re-fix issues I had fixed in the single files. I need suggestions on what else can be done if any. Using Acrobat pro XI.

    Out of habit, I tend to combine PDF files in the Page Thumbnails pane by right-click then "Insert Pages" -> "From File". For me, this preserves the tags from both documents, although the tags may have to be moved into the right location (if I recall correctly the tags for the inserted pages get put at the end of the tag structure, regardless of where the pages are inserted), If I first put the tags for the document to be inserted inside a container tag like Section, it makes the process easier. Moving that set of tags to the right place is the only re-fixing that I recall having to do. What behavior are you experiencing?

    Is there a way that you can copy and paste blade effects from one clip to the other so that the cuts are an exact duplicate of each other?

    The same cuts that I have in this clip that i performed with the blade tool, I want to duplicate, copye, paste and apply to another clip. I want the cuts to mimic and be an exact same. I wish i could highlight the clip, click copy and then highlight the other clip and then click paste and the cuts apply.
