I am thinking of buying Captivate 6 – I was wondering why your guest was talking about Presenter? Is it part of Captivate 6?
Russell, presenter is a different product. It’s a great tool for converting power points into eLearning.

Russell, to my understanding you can do animated screen captures via a Presenter command embedded in PPT 10, but only if you have Captivate 6 installed on your system. (It’s the Captivate code that’s grabbing those animated screen shots in response to Presenter’s Record command.)
It sounds like a dog’s breakfast, as the Brits say, but Adobe seemed to have pulled it off: having three authoring applications, Captivate 6, Presenter 8, and PowerPoint 10, pool their best features to bring out the potential of their video capture utility, whose name is too long to print in this space.
Adobe’s YouTube-based demos and tutorials are constructed using the aforementioned tool set. I think they look great. What’s even more impressive from a software engineering standpoint is that the presenter, using an HD webcam and a few tricks of the trade, is able to construct a sophisticated two-cam (using the Captivate screen animation as a cam)production singlehandedly.
Because of its sophistication and potential beyond eLearning, and because I think Adobe has the best shot at wrestling HTML5 into submission, I’ve made the investment in Technical Communicator Suite 4 and will be spending time this winter exploring its possibilities for marketing communication and user assistance.
