by Kevin Siegel      If you attend our  Adobe Captivate Beginner class , you will learn how to publish projects as SWF (for desktop users) and HTML5 (for mobile users).      Publishing in Captivate takes your source content and outputs it into a format that can be consumed (viewed) by the learner.

Publishing in Captivate takes your source content and outputs it into a format that can be consumed (viewed) by the learner. Your learners will not need Captivate installed on their computer to use a SWF, but they will need a modern web browser and the free Adobe Flash Player (www.adobe.com). Of course, SWFs have a problem.

Choosing the Produce and Share menu item (File menu) takes the source content and outputs it into a format that can be viewed by the learner. Arguably, the most common way to publish a Camtasia project is as a Flash SWF.   But SWFs have a problem.

I pointed out that HTML5 is an alternative publishing format to a SWF. Unlike SWFs, projects published as HTML5 will not only play on the Apple  iPad, iPhone and the iPod, but the lessons will retain any interactivity that you added to the slides (such as click boxes and buttons).

Your project manager requested the videos be in the SWF format to put on the intranet. But, then the Sales team just all got iPods for training purposes. And, now your project manager wants all of your screencasts in a different file format and scaled down in size to play on the iPod. And, you create 20 videos.

Format: solo/co-host, length, posting. Save in different formats. Save to CD, swf, avi, mp3, Quicktime. Most people at their university use media players, not iPods. Good to have two people–more interesting than listening to just one person at a time. Two people don’t have to be in the same physical location.

We've added support for many different file formats like SWF, MP4, WMV and MOV. Hard drives keep getting bigger, internet connections get faster by the day, YouTube arrived, and iPods and other mobile devices showed up on the scene. A lot has happened over the last 10 years. Camtasia now supports both the PC and Mac.
