Of course, Developer releases have been available long before then. In the more than half-year that High Sierra has been available for testing; I would have thought that somebody on the Mac Captivate team would have tested publishing output on their OWN Captivate Prime LMS. Mac High Sierra published html5 content simply doesn't work in PRIME LMS. ActivePresenter is a solution for creating screencast videos, handouts, manuals.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could get all of the functionality of Adobe Captivate without the hefty $700+ price tag? Well, now you (almost) can with this free alternative to Adobe Captivate for e-Learning development.
If you are strapped for cash, or simply need to just do a quick demonstration with some Captivate-like type features, then ActivePresenter can help. Depending on your needs this free tool enables you to record your screen in a eerily similar interface as Adobe Captivate. You can even add custom call out buttons detailing the different steps and/or any other information.
ActivePresenter’s free edition is limited, the most limiting feature to me is the inability to export to flash. But hey, it can make some solid MP4 videos (as well as other formats), and it even is SCORM 1.2/2004 compatible, so not all is lost. Oh, and if you decide you like it just as much as Adobe Captivate, the price point is a lot easier on your wallet for many of the same features – feel free to compare the different features and make an educated decision.
Personally, if you need Adobe Captivate, I would recommend just buying that program. The main reason: the support system. That is worth the extra cost alone. I don’t think you’re going to find too many active forums for ActivePresenter anytime soon. But for the free edition, it’s a pretty solid price.
