Captivate - record audio

Today I start to record tutorial video in Captivate. It took me some time to practice to use this software. Before I start to record my voice, I have to write down the script to remind myself what should I explain in the particular slide. It is very nice that Captivate allow you to edit your audio/voice in particular slide if you need to cut out some part of your audio/voice.


If you want to record a new voice for your slide, chose the audio icon > record this slide, and a window will pop up, you can type your script in slide note area to remind yourself while you are speaking it to record.

User Persona

My target audience is students who are using Dreamweaver to learn to create a simple website. They just began to learn the detail of web terminology, understanding domain extensions, and how to use Dreamweaver tools. Those are the basic knowledge before to start to create any web pages.

Age: 26
Gender: Male

Tommy is the new but part-time student who studying the program of web design & interaction media at the Art Institute California – San Francisco. He enjoys spending as much time surfing the Internet, watching TV, movie, taking pictures to capture his most precious moments in his life, and update blog to share his thoughts. He recently took his first web design class in the Art Institute. He is very excited to learn this handy web design software to create his first website with pictures he took and the description of each picture. He does not have any web design experience but he understands how to upload picture and how to update his blog content to his blog. This is also the one of reason that he wants to learn how to create a website with the style he wants, not like the blog had limited style option.
