Embedded Video Question

[Jeff_Bambrick]

I apologize for being new to the program, I have read through 14 pages of the forums with no help found.

I am trying to use CP5 to generate a video for uploading to a web player.

The powerpoint I am recording has embedded videos (hyperlinked).

When I am recording the ppt using CP5, the videos open and play normally on my desktop, within the capture area.

However, the video in not recorded in the CP5 slides.

There is a frozen image of the first image in the video.

I'm using CP5, Windows 7.

I have tried all recording options (ie application or full screen).

Can CP5 record videos within a ppt?

If so, how???

I appreciate any help.

Thanks,

Jeff Bambrick

You do have the videos? Insert them in Captivate, either as slide video (controlled by the main playbar) or as FLV (has its proper playbar). Capturing a video of a video seems to me the right way to have a considerable decrease of quality, would not recommend that at all.

You can import the Powerpoint as it is to have the static slides.
