Let's inaugurate at the extremely birth. I've e'er been a jingoistic Adobe Captivate user. I started victimization Captivate when it was titled RoboDemo and in hand by other people titled eHelp. At the time, I was actively superficial for a screencasting appliance to expend in. I tested sundry different ones plus ViewletBuilder, TurboDemo and Camtasia.

I chose RoboDemo because it had a large set of features at a rational damage. Camtasia was at that clip a bit too long-winded for me, with it's notable codec etc. But Camtasia has gone a long-range way and near the new release of Camtasia Studio 4.0 I've come to element where I have to make up one's mind whether to side to the latest Captivate 2.0 or controller to Camtasia Studio 4.0 (which fee the same).

Just bread and butter in head that this reappraisal is going to be from my own of their own experiences and wishes.

Recording

The primary piece I noticed astir Camtasia is how easily it history the silver screen. It does it so seemlessly. I just about detected that it was in the background, tape my both put somewhere else. Stopping the demo was merely as smooth. Just chink on the "Stop" holdfast and that's it, video recording finished. You then have a select to advertizement what you've meet filmed. If you're content near it, you can set free it. If not, righteous take away it and initiate a new soundtrack.

The leading deviation linking Camtasia and Captivate when it comes to tape is what it annals.

With Camtasia, everything on your peak (within your hand-picked area, that is) is tape-recorded. Recording is done in genuine example. So, if you were to interval for for a while to think, the pause would be canned as capably. But this can be glibly edited subsequently on. Even your mistakes are tape-recorded. You can ever hold-up the recording, but if you had to do different belongings on your data processor during the pause, continued with the demo may not set utterly.

Captivate, on the different hand, just takes silver screen captures as your screen changes. So, if I had to wait and believe for awhile, Captivate won't invasion thing. And when you're done, retributive clink on 'stop' and Captivate will compile all the contrastive blind captures into a undertaking. So, alternatively of the one picture data file that Camtasia comes up with, Captivate will trumpet blast all surface occupation as a skid.

So, cd next to Captivate and displaying the several slides (which can locomote up to 100s) can purloin quite a bit of circumstance and processing right.

Editing

Maybe I'm just so nearly new to Captivate, but I breakthrough redaction the eyeshade signaling a bit vexed next to Camtasia, particularly if I've ready-made a wrong step location in the signaling. The situation with Captivate is that the mouse is captured separately to the screen itself. So, when editing, I can in reality shuffle the gnawing animal to where I want it to be. I can even adjustment how the rodent looks like. So, if I've clicked on the erroneous button in a projection screen recording, for example, all I have to do is rightful move in and out the rodent to the letter-perfect toggle and craft a clicking dependable. And the slip-up of clicking the flawed knob would end to be alive.

Editing a partition out of a Camtasia is comparatively cushy too. Just prize where you deprivation the cut out to instigation and retarding force to where you impoverishment it to break and click on the pair of scissors icon and that's it, selection gone. Unfortunately, along with it goes the rodent aerobics. So, depending on the piece of writing you cut out, your viewing audience may see the gnawing animal at one point one second and the end of the surface in different. This may get a bit disorienting if you did pervasive written material.

Plus, if I were to sound on the erroneous button in the recording, I would have to re-record clicking on the within your rights key. And pasting this new copy between two points in the timeline will not be seemless.

Another entity I noticed is to get a corking 'cut out', you obligation to hold a dear eye on the timeline as the pic plays, so you cognise in particular which section to quality. Sometimes you inevitability to survey the show more than once, to be guaranteed. With Captivate, you newly take the skid that you don't poorness and since the mouse movements is disconnect from the visual projection itself, the promotion will hang around seemless.

Adding captions was untold easier in Captivate. And various features that were accessible in Captivate are not built-in or much inane in Camtasia, for example, count and editing a underscore box, tallying a clink box, paper access box. But I guess, this is all solitary exalted if you poverty to devise simulations and training as anti to just demos.

The lay emphasis on characteristic in Captivate, for example, gives you a choice of whether you'd approaching to put emphasis on your selection or the out zone of your test (giving you a colorless out event). With worship to Camtasia's hotspot callout feature, it's a substantially more elementary and too easy performance of Captivate's clink box. Having same that, only just like-minded count captions, adding up the lay emphasis on and hotspot callouts into your introduction requires more than challenge in Camtasia than it would near Captivate.

Output info

This is wherever I consider Camtasia has an upperhand complete Captivate. Camtasia can construct your flick in individual formats, with H.264, Windows Media, AVI, SWF, and FLV. Some of the formats mentioned supports exudate which is reclaimable if you have a weeklong flick. And the visual communication formats makes it effortless for you to upload your cinema to online picture hosts specified as, GoogleVideo.

Captivate, on the opposite hand, will lonesome efficiency the flick into a Flash being (SWF) which does not sustain ooze. But next again, Captivate allows you to efficiency your slides into Microsoft Word format, which is effective if you want to trademark handouts of your demonstration unspoken for.

Conclusion

Well, all in all, I would have to say that I like Captivate. Mainly because it has features that congregate my ad hoc needs. I can , however, read why Camtasia is so favorite inside the cyberspace mercantilism alliance. It is a hot software package and to several point more gut. And if you don't cognition division quite a few of your short mistakes near your viewing audience as you go along, Camtasia is noticeably easier and more restructured to use.

But if you're similar me, and you inevitability to originate simulations and preparation and you want to have precise evenness completed everything on the silver screen then, you'd in all likelihood privation to bequeath Captivate a go.

Having same all that, you have to living in knowledge that I merely have a bootleg of Captivate. All I inevitability to do is raise to the up-to-the-minute journal which value the aforementioned as purchasing a new photocopy Camtasia. A ridicule new Captivate is $599. That, in itself, is plenty to put many an of us off - even myself. But for now, looks like I'll branch to Captivate.
