The second approach is to change the size of the application during recording to match the size of the final product. In this example, it means that the application would be 800 pixels wide instead of 1024 pixels during the capture.

This is the easiest solution, as no irreversible or complex resize operation is needed. But when capturing the application, the screen is very crowded. Remember that the application you capture requires a minimal width of 1024 pixels. So, by downsizing it to a width of 800 pixels, it does not have enough room to display all its components and creates horizontal scrollbars. The scrollbars and any scrolling actions will be recorded and appear in the final Captivate project. Scrollbars sometimes hide important information from the screen, and therefore, from your students.
