There's no way to convert Camtasia files to Captivate files
that I know
of... They work in two distinct approaches - Camtasia
recording the
screen activity as a movie, Captivate recording the activity
as screenshots.
The only way I can think of to do such a conversion is to
play the
Camtasia movie and Captivate it as it runs.
Or, perhaps open the Camtasia file and save-out (export?)
individual
screnshots and assemble them 'manually' in Captivate...though
that would
seem more time intensive!
If you want to edit the original to pull out the audio track,
you're
really going to need Camtasia itself. But that may not be
needed if
you're going to just run the file and Captivate it instead
(just don't
record the audio).
I don't think you can export Camtasia to FLA so not sure how
that would
help. Plus, if you could, you'd have Camtasia anyway, so may
as well
just pull screenshots instead of trying to Camtasia > FLA
> Captivate.
