When we first started using Captivate in class I was a little hesitant. I had never used it before and I was unsure as to whether I would be able to navigate through the interface comfortably. When trying anything new, of course its a little nerve wracking but I found Captivate to be pretty easy.
The interface reminds me of a mash-up of Photoshop and Avid. The properties panel is very similar to Photoshop and the timeline is very similar to Avid. I believe Photoshop also has a timeline feature but it has been a long time since I have used it. Anyway, with a little extra guidance from our professor I was able to navigate through it and create little mock training programs.
This program would be great for any novice developer to use to create training as well as for expert developers. You can even make your design process simpler by creating a design on PowerPoint and uploading it to Captivate. There you can add all of the interactivity your heart desires.
