Recording Smart Phone - full motion not capturing stylus movements

[LynnMeadow]

I am trying to create a recording that shows the movements of a stylus on a smart phone. I have the smart phone connected using active sync and am using pocket controller to project onto my computer. All of the captures work fine if i use the mouse to make the movements.

However, i want show how someone can use the stylus to transcribe right on the phone, rather than flipping out their keyboard.

For some reason, i can't get the full motion recording to capture the stylus movements.

any suggestions?

Thanks so much

Hi Lynn

I find that as good as Captivate is, it falls short on full motion. So you may wish to investigate other alternatives for those full motion bits, then drop them into the Captivate slides for playback. I've done this using Techsmith's Camtasia Studio. You might try that. Not sure if the trial will watermark things or whatever. You might also investigate Jing or Screenr. Perhaps either one of those will produce a SWF you could drop into Captivate.

Cheers... Rick

thanks, i was beginning to think i was crazy. The Pocket Controller app that i have to display the phone on my monitor comes with a recording utility that captures the movements into a .wmv file that i should be able to just convert to a .flv, i was just hoping that it would all work within captivate!
