[Web4lib] Macromedia Captivate (formerly RoboDemo)

[Ann B Hubble]

Yes, I've used both Captivate (now owned by Adobe) and 
Camtasia. I prefer Captivate. It seems more 
straightforward in general, but especially for creating 
text 'bubbles' within the movie. It is also fairly easy to 
edit and add/delete sections within the movie. I have yet 
to add sound (narration) but have played around with this 
on test movies and it seems really easy. Just wish they 
would come up with a version for the mac...
