Adobe Captivate is an authoring tool that is used for creating eLearning content such as software demonstrations, software simulations, branched scenarios, and randomized quizzes in Shockwave Flash (.swf, a.k.a. ‘Small Web Format’) and HTML5 formats.[1][2]

It can also convert Adobe Captivate-generated file formats (.swf) to digital MP4 (.mp4) formats which can be played with media players or uploaded to video hosting websites. For software simulations, Captivate can use left or right mouse clicks, key presses and rollover images.

It can also be used to create screencasts, and to convert Microsoft PowerPoint presentations to .swf and HTML5 formats.

History[edit]

Adobe Captivate

While the product started out as a pure screen recording utility known as Flashcam (Nexus Concepts 2002), it evolved into an E-learningauthoring tool after San Diego-based eHelp Corporation acquired Flashcam and released it as RoboDemo.[3] Eventually, software firm Macromedia acquired eHelp to gain RoboDemo.[3] Shortly before Adobe Systems acquired Macromedia, they changed the name of the product to Captivate.[3]
