In 2015, I launched my own eLearning design business and began producing Adobe Captivate video tutorials on my YouTube channel, CaptivateTeacher, to support clients and fellow developers. This content not only helped me grow my business globally—it also introduced me to a wider community of aspiring Captivate users who now turn to me for training and mentorship. Today, I provide both online and onsite Adobe Captivate training, empowering others to build effective eLearning with confidence.

Thanks for saying this Paul. I am historically a Mac user, so I have some software available through Apple.

But for the new job I started a few months ago, I am on a PC. It is possible that I have to do some videos and editing, so that could be a useable solution. Did not know it was there. I will check it out.

Thanks

My apologies Paul Wilson , I meant to ask about a free screen recording tool.

I use Techsmith Camtasia and Snagit for all my capture needs. They do offer free trials but alas they are paid software.

Hi Paul Wilson , what’s a good free tool for screen capture instead? The Video Editor tip is very helpful!

Adobe Captivate, which I assume you have, has the Video Demo feature which does exactly that.

Thanks so much for sharing.  I didn’t know about this.  I do have it on my computer.   It reminds me of Windows Movie Maker which was taken away when Microsoft went to Windows 10.   I ended up purchasing Magix Movie Edit Pro to replace Windows Movie Maker.   It has more bells and whistles than Windows Movie Maker had, but at the time, I would have been satisfied with Video Editor.   I wonder how long it has been on my computer…
