Captivate

when I import a video ( flv, mp4.. - it doesn't matter ) I can see the video when I preview my slide but I can't see the video when I publish the presentation. Help !!

Hello all. I'm in the process of creating a Knowledge Check Interactive Quiz with a custom result slide. Each question is an overlay slide on a video slide that runs the length of all of the questions with the custom results that is not a overlay slide. Unfortunately, I'm not getting any results on the custom result slide. I'm using Paul Wilson's example(Adobe Captivate Practice Exam with Custom Results Slide) on Youtube. The only difference I see is that he doesn't have the questions(overlay slides) on a video which I suspect is the issue. My custom results slide was created from a blank slide. Since overlay slide types are only 'Knowledge Check Questions', and 'Content", would creating my custom results slide from a content slide type give the results I'm seeking? If anyone have another solution, please elaborate. Thanks.

I have to use a Web Object to contain a table that will scroll since it won't all fit on screen (15 rows, 2 columns). However, there are vocabulary words that I need to be clickable (like a hyperlink), but instead of opening a link, I need it to show a hidden pop up box that is located on the Captivate slide.  Does anyone know the HTML code to make this happen? Thank you for your help! PS - I will have 4 pop ups, named Pop01, Pop02, Pop03, and Pop04.

Hello,I recently went to publish the final project I've been working on, and I went through the publishing process and selected the saving destination to be my desktop. An error message appeared in Captivate then the program shut down and all of my desktop files were deleted.I'm currently using a Mac, running OS X El Capitan version 10.11.6; and I've spoken with Apple support representatives on the phone, and we were not apple to retrieve any of the lost documents. I have an appointment with Apple tomorrow, to see if anything can be salvaged.I am wondering if this has happened to anyone else, and if so what can I do to avoid this in the future when I try to publish the final project again?I have had issues with Captivate before where I've had to reset and shut down my computer, and seeing an error message was nothing new. However, this is a lot more substantial.

Hi ! I've been having an unusual problem with Captivate 2019 (v 11.5.1.499)If I want to remove a defective audion file attached to a slide, whether I recordedit into the program or attached it as an mp3, the program won't let me replace theold file with new. It hangs onto the old file for dear life. I even delected the slide,replaced the text, attached a new audio file, but it keeps reverting to the old.Anyone have this issue ?

Hi There! Why are some of the captivate project files so huge, What factors can cause files to be large?Thanks

I've been using Adobe Presenter 11.1 with PowerPoint (16.0.13426.20330) 64-bit on a Windows 10 m machine sucessfully for several months. Now for some reason when I publish, any text that is animated gets distored and elongated. My only solution has been to delete the animation. I can't think of anything that has changed that might cause this. Any advise?  

Hello I have a question.If i cancel adobe caaptivate plan, can i still use the files i saved? 

I am building a project in which, based on the selections the user makes, I will be building a dynamic slide of information. For example, if they choose A and C they will get a list of combined characteristics of those 2 groups. I would like them to then be able to either save and/or print that slide so they can take it with them. Any ideas how I can do this?

Hi Team, In my ongoing course, I am using 100% completion for a restricted navigation course to mark a course as completed in scorm reporting. Some users are getting 100% completion but some don't. Even I tried number of pages visit too. But no luck. I have observed that when a slide is visited, Table of contents has a selected check box. My assumption is that when learners are taking the course in multiple times, bookmarking is not happening and checkbox in TOC is not selected. So I just wanted to check instead of % completion or slide visit, if there is a way to create assessment slide as background to my content slide. So that by default, they enter that slide, the course can be marked complete inLMS. Please advise.

Hi,  I've published my project for "devices" and it works perfectly on a range but seems to have an issue when viewed on a Samsung Galaxy A41 as the writing is black and the positioning goes wierd too - any thoughts? Thanks in advance!

Hi I've created a captivate e-learning module is unable to upload it to cornerstone succeed.  Is adobe captivate compatible with cornerstone (succeed)? 

I am using Captivate 2019. Earlier this year I was able to access additional cutout characters via the "Get Free eLearning Assets" button in the My Assets panel. This was an excellent repository of different characters. Now, however, the button leads to a 404 Error Page. Has anyone encountered this? Is there a fix for this?

So the client wants each slide to show the elapsed time and the total course duration (they don't want to use what's already displayed in the TOC because the TOC is hidden and they want the time info to always be visible). So, I've implemented an advanced action that takes place upon entering each slide. Here is the javascript: var frames = window.cpAPIInterface.getVariableValue("cpInfoFrameCount"); var speed = window.cpAPIInterface.getVariableValue("cpInfoFPS"); var start = window.cpAPIInterface.getVariableValue("cpInfoCurrentFrame"); frames = frames/speed; var ss = frames.toFixed(0); var convertSeconds = function(sec) { var hrs = Math.floor(sec / 3600); var min = Math.floor((sec - (hrs * 3600)) / 60); var seconds = sec - (hrs * 3600) - (min * 60); seconds = Math.round(seconds * 100) / 100; seconds = String(seconds).padStart(2, '0'); window.cpAPIInterface.setVariableValue("var_sec_duration",seconds); window.cpAP

Is there a limited number of states allowed in Captivate (2019) ? I'm using a FasterCourse Template that came with a 6 slider slide; wanting to add a seventh slide, I added a state to the group; it does not shade pictures the same way in the added slide.  Meaning the original sliders have 3 pictures, only the center one is clear, the outer two are shaded to focus on teh selected one...  Thank you !!

I work in a corporate setting where we usually store our files on an internal network. When I copy the files to the shared network I cannot open my own files an I recieve this message:"Adobe could not open "XYZ.cptx". Check if you have the required permissions to open the file or if the file is already open"The file is not already open and this is my own file. After further investigation, every time I copy the file to another location on my C drive I also recieve this message.Any solutions to this issue?

Hello, I'm unable to get images to display at retina / HiDPI quality in my projects. I've tried both the exact resolution of the project, and importing a retina image to no avail. The SVGs display nice and sharp, but my screenshots look pixelated, even though the source is sharp. The player skin also seems unable to be viewed in retina quality. Would appreciate any insight into this. Thanks.

Hello! What is the recommended layout size for courses that will play on average 13 to 15 inch laptops only? I truly appreciate your advice 🙂 

I have a module in Captivate 2019 where I want 3 different scenarios to happen after the learner takes the quiz. I have built the advance action to show different messages for my 3 scenarios to appear on the Results slide, which are Pass, Retake and Coaching. The problem is, for the Coaching slide, I don’t want the Retake Quiz button to appear because I want to direct the learner to get further coaching before doing the quiz again. However, in order for that to happen, I need a custom Retake Quiz button, but that doesn’t seem to be working. I have used a shape as a button called Retake Quiz and it’s set to Jump to the first Question slide, I even tried the option of Return to quiz, but nothing works. The only way I can get a proper retake is if I leave the embedded Retake Quiz button. Which would be fine, but then it appears on my Coaching results option, which is right as it’s a fail, I just don’t want it there. From what I can find, there is no way to program an advanced action

Very basic question. I open a new project, an imprted powerpoint. At first, I thought i had a problem with viewing it on the stage only to learn that I had to scroll to see the slide. It does not stay in view and even goes behind the black curtain. How to I format the stage to keep the slide centered. I am working on a 15" laptop. Thanks helping a novice
