Captivate

Hi, I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this same issue - I've noticed that sometimes when I preview/review a file with timed animations (intended to appear on-time with voice-over audio attached to the slide), the animations appear severely delayed compared to what I set in the timeline - in some cases, long after the VO has completely ended and the slide end should have passed.  Sometimes if I move the animation timing back and forth a couple of times in the timeline and reset the preview/review, it will fix itself. But not always - and even more concerning, sometimes when I get it fixed and send the review off to a co-worker, they report back that they are not seeing the animations appear in the same review link where I just witnessed it working fine. The randomness is frustrating and makes it difficult to pinpoint the reason behind this issue. I was hoping to see if anyone else has experienced this to collect more data and possibly figure out how to

I am currently working on a project using Adobe Captivate 12.5 and have encountered a few issues that I would appreciate your assistance in resolving: My project includes blocks using timeline narration (text-to-speech with captions) and blocks with attached audio (without captions).Mixing these two narration types has caused some issues.Specifically, I sometimes need to insert a gap between two captions in the timeline, but there doesn’t seem to be an option to do this.Is there a way to introduce spacing between captions in the timeline to improve readability and pacing?  

I am currently working on a project using Adobe Captivate 12.5 and have encountered a few issues that I would appreciate your assistance on. this is my first Captivae project, and here's one of the issues I encountered: I hid blocks on publish and set them to progressively appear once the previous block has finished playing.When a block becomes visible, I want to animate the text using the "Typewriter" entrance animation.Since the built-in interactions only include emphasis animations, I manually added entrance animations for the text.This method worked for some blocks but did not work for others, even though I ensured the settings were consistent across all blocks.Is there a known issue with text entrance animations when used in this way, or is there a recommended approach to make them work consistently? 

I am currently working on a project using Adobe Captivate 12.5 and have encountered a few issues that I would appreciate your assistance on. this is my first Captivae project, and here's one of the issues I encountered:I created flip cards using an image grid as a workaround to upload narration since the audio option is not available in the flip card widget.I applied the "Typewriter (By Word)" entrance animation to text inside the flip cards.The animation works fine under normal circumstances.However, if a user clicks another flip card before the first card's text animation completes, then revisits the original card, the animation stops at the same point where it was previously interrupted.The only way to reset the animation is by resuming the timeline. (Note: The timeline is paused when a flip card is clicked.)I would like to know if there is a way to ensure the animation always restarts properly when revisiting the card.

Summary: I am seeking help to figure out how to prevent users from skipping slides when rapidly clicking after activating a Clickbox that goes to the next slide.The problem:In a simulation, if I click on a Clickbox that is set to ‘Go to the next slide’, the next slide that loads will skip to the next slide entirely if I keep clicking repeatedly. The Slides that are Effected:Each slide that I am able to skip has the ‘Go to the next slide’ function either in a Clickbox or a Button, but no other Interactions. (When I say “Skip” I mean, rapidly clicking is somehow activating and forcing the simulation slides to ‘Go to the next slide’ before it has a chance to load completely. If the slide is given time to load completely, clicking anywhere on the slide doesn’t allow the “Skip”. Everything works normal and the user has to click on the object that is set to ‘Go to the next slide’.)An Unwanted Solution:Multiple slides in a row can be skipped if they have the same setup if I continue to k

Hello everyone. I have started using Captivate 12.5, but I have questions I need help with. 1. Where is the library or where to find the project's assets -like own images, sounds? 2. Is it possible to reposition images? I tried the padding option, but didn't move the images on the stage. 3. Where do I find the sound produced by text to audio? I would like to edit it with Audition, which is an Adobe app. 4. Can I import images - more than one at the same time? I'll appreciate your assistance and please point me to the right source if there are tutorials. Sincerely,German Cutz

I recently downloaded 12.5 after using Captivate Classic and am having trouble doing even the most basic of tasks. Is it really not possible to just add a text box that isn't bound to the slide in some way? I want text box on the left third of the slide with an embedded video component on the right 2/3's. In Captivate Classic i could do this in 10 seconds and I've spent an hour reading guides and watching videos for v12.5. What am I missing?  

Hi, I have a question regarding accessibility in Adobe Captivate. In the e-learning courses we develop, all content must be readable using a braille display.Currently, when linking to an external URL that opens in a new tab, we indicate this by writing something like: www.thisisexample.com (opens in new tab).However, I would like to replace the text "(opens in new tab)" with an icon, such as a "square with an arrow out of the right corner", to visually indicate to sighted users that the link opens in a new window. At the same time, I need users relying on a braille display to receive the same information, for example:www.thisisexample.com - icon: webpage opens in new tab/window.Is there a way to insert icons into text fields in Adobe Captivate while ensuring that they include appropriate alt text or accessible descriptions for braille display users?Thanks in advance!

Would like the video it to play immediately as the slide is entered, with no playbar. I guess I need to contact Synthesia, but I'd figure I'd ask here.  <div style="position: relative; overflow: hidden; padding-top:56.25%;"><iframesrc="https://share.synthesia.io/embeds/videos/84f39188-0141-4e0e-8186-1c245739b7e4"loading="lazy" title="Synthesia video player - Your AI video"allow="encrypted-media; allow="autoplay"; fullscreen;" style="position: absolute; width:100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0; border: none; padding: 0; margin:0; overflow:hidden;"></iframe></div>

Hello, After publiching the quiz into SCROM 1.2 and uploading it on successfactors, when I check the results of quiz takers, the report includes Pass/Fail but I need to get the score or percentages. What am I doing wrong?

Using Captivate Classic Assessment is a chronological software assessment and the student passes when they reach the end of the assessment.It's an open book assessment with a TOC that tracks student progress as the student completes certain sections of the assessment. The TOC does not allow the student to skip to the end. If the student needs to stop the assessment and continue at another time, will Saba/Cornerstone be able to let the student pick up where they left off? Does anyone know how make this happen? Thanks in advance for any and all help!

Thanks in advance for any help!

When checking accessibility, I noticed I am unable to tab through all of the radio buttons except for the first button in the block. How do I fix this?

Hi, can someone help me set th filmstrip such that I only get ONE picture in full above the thumbnails? Now I get a series above the thumbnails, very inconvenient. 

Is it possible to customise the player and TOC players in the new Adobe Captivate? I used to be able to do it in what is now "Captivate Classic". 

I select Adobe Captivate Help under Help and I get Captivate Classic help .... Took me a few minutes to realize I wasn't losing my mind because I couldn't find the help associated with 12 😉 Very frustrating as I'm reading all about the featues I'm used to using , but not seeing it on my screen. Can someone point me to the online help for the new version? Thanks in advance!

we have received the following notice from one of our partners:I am reaching out regarding the upcoming deprecation of the JavaScript unload event in Chromium-based browsers, including Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. This change is expected to be fully enforced by Q2 2025 and may impact the functionality of SCORM content hosted on our platform. As part of this deprecation, content that relies on the unload event for bookmarking, course completion, or other interactions may no longer function as expected. To prevent any disruption, we kindly request that you review and update your content to replace the unload event with the recommended pagehide event or other suitable alternatives.Please advise if this will affect our existing and updated Adobe Captivate classic and Adobe Captivate 12.4 version SCORM packages? 

HiI have been working with Storyline for a while now after 8 years in Captivate.This to be able to do more and better animasjons. I am using GSAP in Storyline and was thinking of trying it out in Captivate.To add it directly to the objects (as you do in storyline) did not work. Neither did adding it to the onEnter script.Would be really nice to be able to use it in Captivate so if anyone could help me out on how to get it working in Captivate Classic that would be great.BrRobert

Hello, I am having an issue with some hotspots re-positioning when I publish.  I position the hotspots correctly in Captivate, but when I publish they move quite a distance downwards. The issue seems to be limited to hotspots 4 through 6 on any slide and occurs on both previewed and published files. Two screenshots are attached.  The first shows the positioning of a hotspot (furthest right) in Captivate.  The second shows the final position when published (still furthest right, but much lower down the image).   Interestingly, the text box for the wrongly positioned hotspot still opens in the location it should have. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Graham 

We have a custom size we record software simulations in, 1728 by 1080 (for reasons). Ever since I downloaded the latest version of Classic 11.8.3.8 I am not able to record the application area at that size. It used to be the application would snap to the size but no more. The only work around is to record a custom region and manually size the app to that size which is not ideal. Is this a known bug?  Or does anyone have a solution? Thanks in advance!

I'm running Captivate on a Windows 11 PC. Last night, I attempted to update to the 12.4 version, got the 184 error and restarted the PC as advised. Now, the app will not launch. I have tried clearing cache, running as administrator but nothing is working. I'm looking for all suggestions at this point. Thanks!
