Editing the recorded slide

I am just new to Adobe Captivate - before I used another program.
Now I am wondering if there is no way to edit the recorded slide.
1. When I use the timeline I can find no way to mark a part of the slide at cut it away from the timeline.
2. I am wondering that when I pause the timeline - the red line stops on the right place, but the the video is showing the first image again.
When I record my slide  there are some popup windows I have to move to the right place for making the slide look good. The time I use to move the popup window I want to cut out.
In the software I used before it was possible.

Hi there
From what you posted it would seem you recorded your movie using Full Motion (FMV) recording mode. Ouch!
When you record using FMV, it is very similar to the old 8MM movies from years ago. If you filmed a room full of relatives and there was an ugly chair in the room, you would not be able to edit the movie so it mostly remained the same but the chair was gone. This sounds like what you are wanting to do.
With a FMV all Captivate will allow you to do is to split the recording or append (splice) other recording bits. If you are wondering where this capability is, it's in a different editor that's not all that simple to find. Basically you need to locate the clip in the Library. This is pretty easy to do. Just right-click the clip in the Captivate editor and choose Find in Library. This should highlight the clip. Now in the Library, right-click the clip and choose Edit. This should open the FMR Editor.
You would be well advised to ignore that FMV exists with Captivate. Seldom will you achieve a desirable result. Captivate works best in the Slide By Slide recording mode. We hope to see FMV "get there" and be on par with TechSmith's Camtasia Studio at some future point. Unfortunately, that point is likely to be a couple or three versions away.
If I have something requiring FMV, I use Camtasia and output that as a SWF that I insert into Captivate. You can get some really good stuff that way.
Cheers... Rick

  • I have a keynote presentation that includes a significant amount of video.  When I edit the keynote slides (not the video slides) how can I save the changes without re-saving the videos (because that takes a VERY long time)?

    I have a keynote presentation that includes a significant amount of video.  When I edit the keynote slides (not the video slides) how can I save the changes without re-saving the videos (because that takes a VERY long time)?  I edit the presentation depending on the audience to which I am presenting.

    If you add a new  slide with just a text box (therefore a very small amount of data),  to an existing presentation then save,  Keynote will only save the new content to the file,  it wont save  pre-existing content as its already included in the file.
    The time  taken to "save" will be very much shorter than a "save as" when all of the existing content is saved again.

  • How to edit the records in error stock.

    Hi Experts,
                 i have error records in error stack and the remaining records are loaded successfuly . here my doubt is how to edit the records in error stack because its not giving the edit option .
    i want to get the edit option means i need to delete the request in target r wt ?
    and there are two more targets is there below this process .
    Advance Thanks.
    Regards
    SAP

    HI
    If you have less number records in this request(which you extracted now), delete that request from all the targets and reload again with option Valid records update, reporting not possible.
    this is the option which is recommended.
    follow the below 2 docs as well.

  • Database DLL error on editing the record selection formula?

    Post Author: Aravind
    CA Forum: Older Products
    Hi All,I recently edited the record selection formula of an old report and since then the report is issuing me an "Error detected by database DLL" error.The report was running fine earlier and still continues to run fine if I undo the changes. Earlier, the records were selected based on a 'date' field and I edited the formula to select records based on another date field, but the report doesn't work.The report runs fine on my local PC using Crystal Reports, but web based reporting fails with the error message. The data is selected from a view and the date parameters I talked about are the fields in the same view.This view has around five date parameters and the report runs fine for all of them, except one date field.Any pointers are appreciated.Crystal reports version is 8.5. Regards,Aravind.

    Ah, yes, the good old generic date error.
    The problem is likely an invalid date value in one (or all) of your records with that field.  You don't say what database engine you are connected to or which driver you are using for the report, but I'll give you some "pointers".
    Basically, the SQL fetch has encountered an error in your date field and the driver you are using in the report can't handle it.
    A null date could cause that problem.  Also a date-time field with an invalid value or truncated time value.  A robust ODBC driver, like one of the Microsoft drivers might be able to overcome it.  Likewise, vendors frequently release updated drivers to improve error handling just like this.
    1.  Analyze your data, specifically the contents of the "new" date field you are using for some kind of invalid date.
    2.  Experiment with different ODBC drivers by creating alternate ODBC connections to the same database using different ODBC drivers.
    3.  Browse and experiment with options in Crystal Reports Properties that allow you to specify data conversions for NULLs and Dates.
    Good luck !

    Garage Band,  I am using an MBOX with a digi design audio core as a mic interface to recod into Garage Band.  Now when I Change the preferences to use the MBOX I can not move the recorder slider and there is no sound going into garage band?  Any solutions

    10.5.8 with latest garageband 5.1 with MBOX 1. On Nov 4.09 I did a software update, now i get no output volume or input volume to the computer itself. I get it from head phones from my mbox, but not to the computer. Before the software update It worked great. I've tried upgrading software through digidesign .com, but they dont seem to have one for what i need. any way to get my old garage band back? go from 5.1 to earlier? Or maybe it was the upgrade to 10.5.8. update? Can i go back in time lol?
    Any help would be appreciated
    BTW
    Ive tried all the system sound prefs, and garage band drivers. Back and forth.

  • I recorded a panel presentation on my Ipod and would like to edit the recording on my itunes so I can export the recording and send it to my colleagues over the internet.  I was able to import the recording to my itunes library but need help editing it.

    Hello, thanks in advance for your help.  I recorded a panel presentation on an ipod and would like to edit the audio recording to just one portion of the recording.  I was able to import the audio into my itunes 11.1.3 music library but I have not been able to edit the length of the recording.  I followed an online tutorial and was able to edit when the recording starts and stops on the recording but I haven't been able to edit out the parts of the recording that I dont want.  Also when I try to export it to my Desktop or to Garageband (not sure if that helps or not) I am not able to export it.  It is currently a .WAV file.  I would like to edit the length of the recording and then export the file onto my desktop.  I would like to email the presentations to my colleagues online so I could also use advice on how to make it a smaller file since it is current 945.6 MB.

    iTunes isn't an editor. You need an app that's intended for editing audio files, like Adobe Audition (http://www.adobe.com/products/audition.html) or Audacity (free in the App Store).

  • Editing the background slides themselves

    I have some movies that I made in 2006 and the dates are
    showing on the movies - its a product demo and I dont want to date
    my product !
    I'd like to edit out the dates so they don't show - I don't
    want to re-record the whole movie again - is it possible to go into
    each slide and just remove the offending part on each slide using a
    bitmap editor or something like that ?
    Hope this was clear !
    Thanks
    Mike

    Welcome to our community, Mike
    It's easier than you think!
    Edit one of the slides and add a Highlight Box object.
    Configure the Frame to be 0 pixels and the Fill Color to match your
    background. Configure the Fill Transparency to 0%. Now size and
    position the Highlight Box so it covers your unwanted date. Copy it
    to the clipboard and paste it on other slides where you also want
    to do the same. Now simply visit each slide, right-click the
    Highlight Box and choose Merge Into Background. This will have the
    same effect of having opened each of the background images in
    something like Photoshop and blotting it out!

  • Stay on the edit page once saved and see the record as a table

    I like to click on the edit of an interactive report to go to the edit page.
    Once in the edit page, I like to see not only the form to edit the record but also
    the record as a table to see what the record looks like once the save button is clicked below the edit form.
    Thanks.

    Look at the page branches. There will be one or more which goes to the first page. Change it to go to the current page instead of the first page.

  • Hide objects/information on recorded slide

    Hello,
    I want to hide information and objects on the recorded slides
    in my project. So that if I publish them, you can't see that
    specific info. Is it possible in Captivate?
    Thx

    Hi SoSch and welcome to our community
    Indeed you may and it's easier than you think. I do this by
    inserting a Highlight Box object. Configure the Border to 0 and the
    Fill Color to match the area you are hiding. The eyedropper tool is
    so good for this! Then position the highlight box over what you
    want to hide.
    Here's the cool part. Often, the area you want to hide
    appears across multiple slides. I then copy the Highlight Box
    object from where I created it, select the slides where I also need
    it and paste. Poof! It's pasted on all the selected slides
    in exactly the same place it was copied from which means I
    don't have to futz with positioning it!
    As a final step, you may choose to right click the Highlight
    Boxes and merge them into the background. This has the same effect
    as if you had popped the background into an image editor and
    blotted out the undesired or sensitive information.
    Hopefully this was helpful... Rick

  • Can you edit CRM records with {Tag_edit}

    Hi,
    I 'm wondering if I can edit my records with {tag_edit)
    I can edit the web apps , but when I include the {module_firstname} and edit it. It wont edit the record in CRM.
    So I wonder if there is way to do it?
    I don't think it will be through web app.
    What I'm aiming for is that web user can edit their own information throught a secure zone.
    For example. I have created website , with back end. Custom back end. Once the user is registered. He can alter the details.
    With out loggin in to admin panel and edit the record in CRM.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Kind Regards
