Hello All 
Thanks for being here. I have Captivate 2019 and updated to the latest and greatest.
For some reason when i try to start a new video demo project Captivate crashes. Completely closes with no warning windows etc. Just quits. Any ideas?
Thank you in advance for any comments or help.

I will reinstall and update then if it doesn’t work I’ll keep using Camtasia for videos. I just thought I would try making the course videos with Captivate. No big deal, everything else works and Camtasia does a good job on videos as Captivate does at authoring online courses.

Integration in a cptx project is easier with Video Demo, but Camtasia is great for video capture.
Can you find the dump files in the installation folder? They look like the screenshot I included. You could try to send them to Adobe.
Did you try to clean the Preferences already? More info in:

Do you have a webcam? Did you try to start a Video Demo without the webcam capture and have the same problems?
For capturing the screen it is necessary to have 1px/px on your screen, and do the capture on a primary monitor if you have a multiple monitor setup. There are several scenarios for the 1px/px, one is mentioned before you can start (editing the AdobeCaptivate.ini file). You can also decrease the display resolution until you can display at 100%. For me on this system that would mean going from the default 3840×2160 at 225% to HD (1920×1080) at 100%.
