Captivate includes a workflow that allows you to publish your Captivate movie as a video file and upload it to your YouTube account without even leaving Captivate.
In the following exercise, you will convert your file into a video and upload it to YouTube.
This exercise requires that you have a YouTube account. If you do not have a YouTube account, you can create one for free at https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/161805 or read through the steps of this exercise.
Perform the following steps to upload the video to YouTube:
- Return to the Chapter15/encoderDemo_800.cptx file.
- Use the File | Publish to YouTube menu item to start the process.
When using this menu item, Captivate generates the slides as if you were publishing the movie in Flash format. When that first conversion is complete, Captivate opens the SWF to Video Conversion window and converts the .swf file to .mp4. So far, the process is exactly the same as the one you used in the previous section...
