Adobe Captivate Terminology in Layman's Terms

1) For our purposes, Full Motion Recording in Adobe Captivate would mean an instance in which Captivate recorded a video being played on a computer as well as things such as mouse movement or a "drag and drop" action, that take place on screen during the playback frame-by-frame.

When you start to learn about Captivate recording options it will become clear why this is important to know since Captivate has other modes of recording which treat the mouse actions and so forth differently to the video playback.

Captivate is also capable of creating a separate screen-shot-based animation of the mouse movement using the Adobe Media Encoder and in such instances, the video playback and the mouse movement are separately integrated into your Captivate project. On this course you will learn how to use Captivate settings for different types of recording.

2) From Captivate 2019 onwards, the software now features a Gaze Event in VR, which is an action that is triggered when the user focusses upon a particular interactive element for a given period of time.

3) In a nutshell, Responsive Design ensures cross-platform compatibility across different devices and screen sizes. When you create a Responsive Project in Adobe Captivate this ensures that you only need to create it once, rather than having to create multiple versions for device compatibility.
