Adobe Captivate 4 is the “godfather” of all screen recording programs.  Captivate 4 dominates the paid screencasting market because of its superior editing functionality and flexible recording options.

Of course it comes with the support of a behemoth software company in Adobe.  Adobe has done a good job of creating tutorials that will get you up and running with Captivate in a flash (no pun intended).

The real differentiator with Adobe Captivate 4 is its ability to create interactivity in the presentation with ease.  You can create training or teaching videos that require the viewer to follow along with your mouse clicks.  Creating interactive quizzes is also a breeze with Adobe Captivate 4.

The Pros

  • Extremely powerful editing capabilities
  • Multiple screen recording options
  • Ability to create interactive slides (including quizzes)
  • Integration with the rest of the Adobe suite of products.

The Cons

  • The price is high at $799.00.

The Uses

If you are looking to create robust multimedia presentations or have the need for interactivity within your presentations, Adobe Captivate 4 is worth every penny.   Captivate 4 is not a quick and dirty screencasting program, its intention is to create best-in-class multimedia video and e-learning experiences and it does that very well.

Don’t forget that you can try this software out before purchasing to make sure it meets your needs. Get your free trial or purchase Adobe Captivate 4 by clicking that link.
