Adobe Captivate 7: Beyond the Essentials

Caption Pre-Editing

As you have just seen when you recorded a lesson using the Custom mode,

Captivate created the text captions for you. Those captions were written in the

imperative, which was great. However, there are a couple of ways to write an

instruction. For instance, if you want to instruct a user to select the New command

from a menu, here is how the instruction could be written:

1. Select the New menu item.

2. Choose the New command.

If you elected to go with the first option, you would be done because that’s the

way Captivate automatically writes instructions when it creates the text captions.

However, if you wanted to update the text caption to reflect the second option,

you'd have to make the change manually. Although not difficult, this kind of editing

is very labor-intensive. And as I mentioned on the previous page, end-of-sentence

punctuation is a debatable topic. Do you or don’t you? I don’t, but you might not

agree.

To save a significant amount of text editing during post-production, you can pre-edit

the text captions by editing one of the template files that are stored in the Captivate

application folder on your hard drive. Captivate uses these files during the recording

process when it creates the text captions.

Student Activity: Edit a Text Capture Template

1. Minimize/Hide Adobe Captivate.

2. Locate the file that controls the text that appears in automatic text captions.

 navigate to the folder where Adobe Captivate 7 is installed on your

computer (Windows users, the path is typically Program Files/Adobe/

Adobe Captivate 7; Mac users, Captivate is typically in a folder named

Adobe Captivate 7 that is located within the Applications folder.)

 find (but do not open) CaptureTextTemplates_English.rdl file

This next step is possibly the most important. You are going to create a copy

of the English rdl file. If you foul up the duplicate rdl file, no worries since you

can simply throw it away. The changes you are about to make to the duplicate

rdl file will have no impact on the original rdl file.

3. Make a copy of the CaptureTextTemplates_English.rdl file.

 select the CaptureTextTemplates_English.rdl file and then copy and

paste it into the Captivate 7 application folder (the current folder)

Note: You may be prompted to confirm the action, which you should

do. Since you are pasting a file directly within the application folder, not

Captivate7BeyondData, you may be blocked completely because of

limited read/write access to the application folder. In that case, you will

need someone within your IT team to grant you read/write access to

the Captivate application folder on your computer. Otherwise, you will

be unable to complete the remaining steps in this module.
