![]() ![]() ![]() I have been disappointed because my expectation was that Captivate could become my main rapid elearning tool. I had hoped Captivate would be the best choice to solve many of my needs. Instead, I chose Captivate because I have had good experiences with other Adobe products, because Captivate was the top choice in a survey from the eLearning Guild, and because Captivate's feature set included the ability to convert PPT to SWF. I am like you in that my budget did not allow me to purchase several products to create my own custom Rapid e-Learning suite. (2) There are other applications with similar features to Captivate and Articulate, such as DemoCreator which you mention. Thank you for you clarification - you are correct on all your points: (1) Adobe Presenter is the flagship product from Adobe touted for converting PPT into SWF. #Camtasia vs adobe premiere proBut it just doesn't deliver the goods like PhotoShop, Illustrator or Premiere Pro does. Believe it or not I use PowerPoint quite a bit I just import them into Captivate files and manipulate from there - but even here Captivate has less than stunning capabilities, whereas Articulate appears to do a better job. I had hoped to also use it (Captivate) to output PowerPoints into Flash SWF files too. #Camtasia vs adobe premiere softwareActually, there's probably not a total e-learning solution from anyone.Ĭaptivate and Articulate are probably better suited for software simulations and branching scenarios. But the way I see it, TechSmith's products are not designed to be a total e-learning solution, but rather a part of a complete solution: the screen capturing portion. In fact programmers from Captivate have migrated to Articulate I'm told by someone at Articulate. The way I see it, Captivate's main competitor is Articulate and perhaps a nod to TechSmith's products SnagIt and Camtasia. I like their products and workflow and integration, etc. I'm an Adobe fan-boy - I have the Creative Suite CS2 (Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, ImageReady) I have Acrobat Standard I have Premiere Pro 2.0 and Captivate 3. You should check out this blog ( ) and see if you start drooling over Articulate's products instead of the Adobe lust that most of us suffer. ![]()
