For one organisation I worked at, I found the best method was to write an actual script, record the entire script as audio only, and then I would go back to the beginning of the project, have the project play back the audio to me, as I captured the associated screens I was working through.
In fact, I often do a similar thing in reverse when using Screenflow. It could be for many reasons.you've fluffed your lines, that chequered shirt you decided to wear causes camera flare, you discover that the cat crunching on her food nearby was far louder than you thought (this happened to a colleague of mine when she recorded in her house), you just want to do your voice and camera part over again, or maybe you want someone else to sit in front of the screen and be recorded? I wanted a way to go back, have Captivate play the screen capture back to me, whilst allowing me to add in a new webcam capture, but I couldn't see it. I think it's vital to be able to replace the web-cam capture in the timeline. Once I completed the screen capture and the webcam recording, I couldn't find a way to easily replace the web-cam recording without starting all over again though. I was incredibly lazy in testing, not even bothering trying to have a consistent background colour behind me, but even then the outcome was far better than I expected. I was really impressed by the chroma key effects and how simple they were to set up. It wasn't a reassuring thing to come up against, so at that point I decided not to proceed. To me, the hyperlink and suggestion of Soundflower almost feels like an afterthought as opposed to a an eloquent solution. I guess it's really about the 'spit and polish' that Adobe puts on the product.

Maybe Adobe could create a fork of Soundflower and maintain it and build it into the app? Then again, why does Snapz Pro need neither of those things? Curious.

The reassurance for me here is that I know and trust Telestream…I'm not so keen (even if Adobe is asking me to do it) on installing a third-party driver whose maintenance I am questioning.

Telestream's Screenflow prompt to install additional software for sound capture is a lot more reassuring than the one for Adobe Captivate

Screenflow (which I have used for around 5 years now) does it more eloquently than Captivate does, prompting users to upgrade their driver (not a term that is typical for Mac users) and then explaining how to use that driver in the future. I use multiple screen capture tools that can capture Mac audio without needing to install additional third-party software (SnapzPro X for example), but I think it's even more prudent to look at companies with more high-end screen capture functionality and take a look at how they handle the situation. For a major company like Adobe to point to what looks like not-so-well-maintained software as a needed install, caught me off-guard. In fact, High Sierra just gets a workaround mention at the beginning of the page.

Now I usually don't like installing apps to make other apps work…and when going to the download page for Soundflower, it doesn't look like (no offence to its developers) that there is much maintenance going on. The hyperlink took me to this page, stating that in order to capture Mac audio you need to install something called Soundflower. This may not be new issue with Captivate, but I wasn't impressed with where it led me. In testing, I was intrigued by an odd warning I noticed saying that I couldn't capture the audio of my Mac. Now, with this new functionality, that whole process could be enhanced and look a whole lot more professional, with a video of the person speaking included…if only I wasn't so camera shy :-) But don't get me wrong, this is a superb enhancement! I then published those recordings up to the Adobe Connect server and made them available. What I did in the past (particularly at Massey University) when I needed to provide some rapid support for people using Adobe Connect, was fire up Captivate for a screen recording session, talking live over the capture as I explained how to do something. It's a fantastic new feature that will benefit many.
Many of you reading that statement will say "No, not really", but what I mean is that the new functionality in Captivate clearly has its lineage associated with what has gone before. What Adobe has done (I think) is to take some of the functionality within the Adobe Presenter (a product I loved and miss using a lot) supporting application Adobe Presenter Video Express, and put it into Adobe Captivate. Wow! This one really caught my eye and I'm really pleased to see it included in the new version of Captivate….but I also find it intriguing. Of 2 Smart Video recording (webcam and screen)
