It is not widely known that making Adobe Captivates great is really hard and takes absolutely ages. Captivate is a rapid development tool and it gives the expectation of being quick and easy. But it's only rapid compared to taking screenshots manually. At Liquid Performance we've been working with Captivate for 5 years and know all the tweaks, hints, tricks and have lots of experience.
On the right are a few samples of the types of thing we can do for you. Below is a brief description on what we'll do.
This is also sometimes called a Show Me. It's like a guided tour where the user sits back and watches Captivate move the mouse around and click here, click there. Usually accompanied by captions and voice overs to make the demo more sticky.
These are great if you want to just show someone how to use or do something in a web site or application.
These are sometimes called Try Me. The user gets their hands dirty by simulating real actions on a "real" system. This is safe as nothing can go wrong, but gives a much more realistic feel.
These are useful if you need users to practice before they use the real thing. Combining a demo with a simulation means they get to see it done, then get a go themselves; perfect for training.
Adobe Captivate is good for stepping through processes and flows. This is a bit more like traditional eLearning with a Captivate and Liquid Performance spin.
A great way to give your users the best is to combine a process with a show me (demo) and try me (sim).
