Adobe Captivate 3 Script Writing and Production Guide
Author: Kevin A. Siegel

I've been teaching Adobe Captivate for years. At the end of a two-day class, my students have all the skills they need to create highly interactive computer-based training simulations (CBTs) using Captivate. Some time ago a student, just prior to leaving class the last day, asked how she could focus her writing skills and create clean, step-... more »by-step documentation she could use for her Captivate storyboards. She said she had searched and searched and could not find a class designed specifically for creating step-by-step documentation. I had another student ask me if I had a style guide he could borrow so that he could create a corporate style guide to be used for all of their Captivate CBTs. Based on those conversations, I created this book. Part 1 of the book is designed to help you focus your grammar and writing skills and allow you to create concise step-by-step documentation. Part 2 of this book is the Style Guide and Process document I created for use at IconLogic. Please keep in mind that this 98-page workbook will not magically turn you into a writer, let alone a script writer. You'll need lots of hands-on experience and additional training before that happens. Consider this book to be a "baby-step" book. I've written this book as a way to get your storyboards and scripts off on the right foot. Also keep in mind that the Style Guide I present in Part 2 does not teach you Captivate. I ve got a book, "Essentials of Adobe Captivate 3," that will do that. Instead, that section of the book is simply designed to offer the techniques and processes we use every day to create CBTs with Captivate. Here is what you will learn: Part 1: Script Writing The Process | Ignorance Is Not a Dirty Word | The Audience | The Subject Matter Expert (SME) | Find and Promote the Wow Factor | Rules for Writing and Tools of the Trade | Hard-News Writing | Feature Writing | Technical and Script Writing | Avoid Plagiarism | Writing Style Guides | So Many Guides, So Little Time Grammar Workshop Comma Inside or Comma Outside the Quotation Mark? | Less is More, But is Fewer Very Much? | Led/Lead/Leading/Leading | When We Join Things, Are They Always Plural? | Commas Between Adjectives | Hyphens Writing Workshop Active vs. Passive Voice | Death to Deadwood | Writing Concisely | Writing Narratives | Writing Step-By-Step Procedures | Sample Script Part 2: Production & Style Guide The CBT Development Process Adobe Captivate 3 Preferences | Global Settings | Recording Settings | Full Motion Recording Settings | Recording Keys Settings | Custom Recording Mode Settings | Display Settings | Screen Resolution | Desktop Wallpaper and Icons | Windows XP Display Properties | Windows Vista Personalized Settings | The Recording Phase | Download the Template | Record a Project Using a Template | Production Phase Version Control | Project Settings | The Cleanup Process | Slide Properties | Text Captions | Buttons | Click Boxes | Text Entry Boxes | Audio/Narration | Publishing Audio Scripts | Importing Narration Files | Pre-Publish Settings | Project Start and End | Project Background Audio | Project Skin | Project Info | Publishing Projects | Publishing for an LMS | Publishing for a Web Server
