Captivate

Could Adobe provide a pre-made tutorial type slide that could be added at the beginning of presentations, for phone users, that demonstrates the navigation methods specifically? I am using Adobe Captivate for structured elearning lectures for a course that is being held asynchronously (I post material, students view material, student complete assignments, I mark assignments).That being said, I am receiving a few questions from students about navigation using their phone. The first slide of any presentation shows a small icon at the top right hand of the screen but if they choose not to click this icon, they do not know how to navigate. Obviously for this semester I was able to show them by making a Video Demo and adding the play bar as an overlay to the slide and posted this picture of phone navigation to their LMS. If not I'm sure I can just post my video demo each semester without much of a problem. 

Estou com uma dúvida aqui. Minha empresa já possui um LMS. Onde eu aloco meus cursos. Porém estou com uma demanda de um cliente que está interessado em meus cursos. Porém eu tenho que envia-lo no formato scorm 1.2. Queria saber se o Captivate consegue transformar arquivos de mídia em geral (mp4, wmv, entre outros), arquivos com extensão pptx, pdf, docx, xlsx, para o formato scorm 1.2?

Is there a ways you can share a captivate scorm file free without signning on same easy way as Articulate Storyline has https://tempshare.articulate.com/.  Help

Hi all!I am new here. Please explain this to someone technology challenged. I have made my first non-responsive project in adobe captivate. I try to publish it for review and I don't understand the output files at all. I tried to "print handouts" and they come out tiny and I cannot sustainably resize every single slide for all the presentations I need to make in this program. I thought this would make things easier than power point and I am invested now after trying so hard to learn this software. Please help me!

Hi, I have a diagram, let's call it a map of some roads.  I want to have a slide in Captivate that shows the road map, and then highlights different routes as the slide plays. I tried Shapes, with long, thin rectangles overlaying the roads, grouped together, but I feel like there must be a better way.

How does one get the plugin for text-to-speech for Adobe Captivate 2017 version?

Hi, I'm new to creating software simulations and using Captivate 2019. When I publish my simulation as html and then attempt to upload the zip file to my LMS (I'm using iSpringLearn), I get an error saying it is not a valid SCORM package. I thought everything published by Captivate would be SCORM-compliant. Is there something else I need to do to my html files?

I am using Captivate 2019. I make a simulation, add my audio files and I need to turn it into an MP4. I need to add Closed Captions to this project. I need them to be able to be turned on and off inside of the MP4. I know how to add closed captions before I turn it into the MP4 but I dont know how to make them function once it is an MP4

Hey everyone. I have an issue where changing the UseWidget7 from 0 to 1 in the AdobeCaptivate.ini file breaks the functionality of my dropdown menu learning interaction. The dropdown menu appears on the screen but I cannot interact with it. If I change UseWidget7 back to 0 (false) it works again.Does anyone know if there's a known conflict with this or if there is a hack around this? Thank you in advance!

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer me. I have mp3 files in my project. They played fine at first, but now I don't hear them, and when I try to preview in the library, Captivate crashes. I tried to delete them and start again, but again, if I touch one in the library, crash! I tried deleting all instances of the audio files, then go the "select unused items" in the library to delete, but they don't get selected, and thus I can't delete. It's like that audio folder in the library is frozen. My video files play just fine. It's just the audio files. Sigh. Thanks!

What is the benefit to signing in with admin privileges when using Captivate??  I've had admin privileges for years but recent changes at our company's IT department has them denying me admin privileges. TIA,Susan

Hi!When I import languages the text doesn´t completely update in the text buttons Caption field, it does update in the Normal (Default) state but not in the RollOver or Down states.How do I fix this, do I really have to look through and manually correct every button in each language? There´s 30 languages with 177 slides each, not all have text buttons but you get my drift, it´ll be a lot of hours the customer won´t pay for... 😕😕BR

I tried adding a skin that will show a playbar at the bottom of the screen, but it does not work. There are only buttons to mute the video or to close the tab. My project was created from a PowerPoint presentation. Each of my slides consists of 99% inserted video, with the last 1% of playtime dedicated to the underlying PowerPoint slide. How can I get a playbar at the bottom of the screen so that the user/learner may scrub through the video forward and backward?

I've been a Captivate user for years (since v4) and created fairly complex training but have primarily used professional talent for our audio (recorded in a studio and importing the audio files). I just recently started using the Text to Speech function in Captivate (v2019 11.5.4.613) and every once in a while, the software will read an apostrophe as "registered trademark" rather than ignoring it. Sometimes I can just re-type the character and everything is fine, but no always. Has anyone else experienced this and how do you fix it?

We are creating Test Your Knowledge questions in our modules. These are not scored, reported, tallied, or kept track of. They are placed every 10 slides or so to give the student an idea of what they are retaining. What I want is to display a custom message for success or failure. The message displays the correct answer as it appears in the module. I can accomplish this with no issues. My problem is with moving to the next page. As of right now, I am extending the slide duration to 10 seconds before it continues to the next page. This can be too long in some cases and too short in others (depends on the answer).  Is there a way to be able to add a "click anywhere", or "click Y", function through advanced actions? If I add the "Next" button it allows the student to skip the question, which we do not want to allow. We are not using the default message as they are ugly and as far as I can tell, cannot be customized for each page. If they can that might solve my issue. &nbsp

I am doing a technical presentation which is requiring me to add several words/symbols into the dictionary that is not getting pronounced correctly or pronounced at all.  Each time I open the dictionary to add a new word, it seems to be replicating the entire dictionary.   So now when I convert text to speech it is taking longer than 3 minutes to do it (yes I timed it).   I am telling it to save file and replace file.  When I go into the CSV file to open it, this is the message I get:  So now I have almost 300,000 rows in my dictionary even though I may have only added around 50 words.   How do I clean this up so that it does not take so long to generate my text to speech and how do I get it to stop duplicating?  I  have captivate 11.5.5.676.  

Afternoon I am having difficulty in uploading a biteable to captivate. I have upoaded it but the biteable is way too big.   This is what biteable have advised our Biteable video's dimensions are 1080 × 1350 (in its current aspect ratio), and it looks like the canvas area in Captivate is set to 320 × 200. I assume that's why you're only seeing a small section of the video.Any help appreciated

I'm kinda stuck on why my slide-audio doesn't play on one of my slides. It works fine in all other slides and I am not sure what I'm missing. I attached a screenshot of my timeline, maybe there is something that I don't see here that's causing this? Slide-audio doesn't seem to be affected by a button pausing the slide, so that shouldn't be causing any issues, and even if it would it should play the audio for the first couple seconds.

Hi thereHaving an issue within captivate, that I am unable to find a fix for.  And is causing majot issues for my app on a LMSI have my quiz settings set to Incomplete----> Passed/FailedWith Slides Views set too 100% and Quiz is passed ticked on.And this is exactly how I want the app the function, and it works great.However.  I seem to have an issue where captivate will just reset my Slides viewed to 0%, seemingly at random.  WHich will then have the Paa be classed as complete even if the user has only seen 1 slide.SO I can test the app, and build it, and sometimes it is perfectly fine, and then sometimes it resets itself back to 0% and it breaks the appHas anyone else had this issue, and is there any possible solutionsThanks in advanceStuart

Hi there,I'm trying to add a video to a slide of a project and I'd like the user to be able to view the video in full screen and then exit back to the slide. Ideally, there would be an option on the video skin to do so, but I'm not seeing that. Does anyone have experience with this and can provide some insight or a fix?I'm publishing a responsive project as HTML5 and using Adobe Captivate 9.Thanks!

I feel like I'm missing something.  I have 4 text entry boxes on a slide. no validation, no submit buttons, no nothing. Just 1.2.3.4. Nothing fancy about the styling. They each add text to their own variable which is used elsewhere.  Their order in the timeline is from top to bottom: 1.2.3.4. Their tab order is from top to bottom: 1.2.3.4.  But on screen, TEB 3 is in focus on load, then it's tab to 2, then it's tab to 1, and TEB 4 can't be tabbed to at all.  I've tried to reorder objects in the timeline, it changes the focus/tab order around but not in a predictable way. I've emptied my preferences, I've copy/pasted to a blank project, I've updated to the latest version of Captivate, yet my 4 text entry boxes don't reliably tab in order.  Is it just me? Have I missed anything?  

Hi allWhat happens when the subscription ends? Will published projects work?

It is my first post and I am a bit confused. Adobe Presenter's Forum seems disappeared.I tried the latest version (11.1.5) on a Win 10 64bit machine and Office 2016. Win did already removed Flash 32.0.0.445 activex, and there is no way to install any other version nor to uninstall the Win update Flash Remover.Presenter's Themes cannot be even open that the warning appears "You need to upgrade Adobe Flash Player....". Actually I need to install it.I already installed the register files for let Office 2016 using Flash. But the problem is upfront.I would like to install Flash and keep it, so to make, among other things, AP working. Is there a work around somewhere?ThanksA.

Hello, When I use the Magnification Control+ to zoom on the stage and click on an obejct, the stage center resets to the top left corner.  This makes it very difficult to fine tune any objects that are very small as you have to zoom out and zoom back on every click.  Is this a bug or is this how it functions normally?  Why does this not work like the navigator in all the other Adobe programs where once you zoom it it stays put until the user changes it? FYI I am using Captivate 2019 on PC and Mac.  Same issue. Thanks
