Add a video file
You can easily add an existing FLV/F4V file to your project.
Note: Only FLV/F4V files with metadata play in Adobe Captivate projects. If the inserted file does not have metadata,
use third-party software like FLVMDI to add metadata to the file.
1 In an open project, select Insert > Insert FLV or F4V file.
2 In the Import Video dialog box, specify the location and then click OK.
3 To apply the settings or setting changes to all FLV/F4V files in your project, select Apply To All.
Change video quality
In general, color is rendered correctly in Adobe Captivate projects. However, sometimes colors are rendered
inaccurately, such as when the color scheme varies radically between slides.
