Welcome to ActivePresenter 9! This article offers a comprehensive guide for beginners who are interested in using ActivePresenter to unleash their creativity and potential. Now, let’s get started with ActivePresenter 9.
ActivePresenter 9 is an easy-to-use powerful eLearning authoring tool, screen recorder, and video editor. In other words, the integration of these useful functions in ActivePresenter allows you to quickly create amazing eLearning content, capture your screen, and edit recorded videos with just simple steps.

For more details about creating new projects, check out the post below:
As you may know, ActivePresenter 9 offers users a dozen of beautiful themes and templates to create consistent visual experiences. Besides, you can make your courses more informative by inserting a variety of visualization objects. For example, 3D Models, Charts, Tables, Images, Videos, Audio, YouTube videos, and so on. You can find them all in the Insert tab.
Otherwise, adding interaction objects to the projects is a great idea, as well. Those are special objects designed to respond to users’ actions in a predefined manner. Users can interact with these objects by using the mouse button (to click on an area, select checkboxes or radio buttons, etc.), or using keyboards (to press a key or a combination of keys). Applying these objects in your interactive quizzes or courses helps stimulate learners’ interaction. Also, interaction objects help keep track of learners’ activities by assessing their performance.
Next, get started with adding interactivity to your project in ActivePresenter 9. In fact, courses that transform learners from passive participants to active ones are the best. And adding interactivity to courses seems to be the most effective along with quickest way to motivate learners. ActivePresenter 9 comes with a large number of flexible events – actions, conditional and advanced actions, variables, JavaScripts, etc. to help create highly interactive quizzes, courses, and games.
In addition, the latest version supports you to create 13 interactive question types with a few clicks. All of them are available in the Questions tab.
What’s more, you can also import hundreds of questions from GIFT files and CSV files into your course at once. Just access the Questions tab and click From File.
For details about events – actions, interactive questions, or other related features, see the following:
When you first launch the app, there are two recording features right on the Start Page for your choices. Select Record Screen as Video if you want to create a video demonstration. Besides, Record Interactive Simulation is perfect for creating an interactive software simulation.
ActivePresenter 9 has a rich-featured editing timeline. It is located at the bottom of the working screen and contains the most powerful video/audio editing tools and features. For example, Cut/Copy/Delete/Crop to Range, Add background music, Speed up and Slow down the video/audio, and so on. You can apply commands to the whole selected objects or just a specific range. Especially, ActivePresenter 9 now allows displaying video frames directly in the Timeline pane. This helps to enhance video display as well as users’ experiences.
For more information about how to edit recorded video/audio, let’s take a closer look at the Edit Screen Recordings article.
Finally, let’s get started with exporting projects in ActivePresenter 9. After completing your project, you can click HTML5 Preview or press F5 to see how it works. With the release of the latest version, it is possible to preview a specific slide instead of the whole project in the browser. Then, feel free to choose any appropriate output format in the Export tab that meets your requirements. Further, the app now allows saving the selected slide as an image or video.
