Captivate Recording

These files are recordings from Macromedia's Captivate software application. Captivate allows users to record activity conducted within a specific application.

The software allows users to add text, animations, and audio to the activity recordings that are often used to create software training demonstrations, allowing users to watch step-by-step instructions showing how a software application works.
