Captivate

OS: macOS 10.15.7 - Catalina using Captivate MacOs 11.5.5.676Note: new to Captivate 2019, have not used Captivate for a couple years, but previously on MacOS (9, I think)I attempt to make a software simulation capture. I have attempted this with default Cmd-Enter and with several custom global keys (same results).At end of capture, I'm unable to stop recording. No key combination works. I've also clicked the Captivate icon in menu bar. When I do that, Captivate crashes. I have attempted to provide Captivate appropriate permissions in Mac's Security & Privacy settings.

Can someone kindly point me to the page where I can subscribe monthly? I do not see the need for a perpetual license just yet. Thanks!

Hello all! I am creating a Drag and Drop as part of a knowledge check.  I have three locations and three sources. Each source has one correct drop location. And I have created three custom variables, one for each drop combination.  I am trying to change the value of a variable when a source is dropped on a drop location so I can check those variables upon submission (not auto submitted) to provide the appropriate feedback. I am trying to do this… IF a drop is correct, I want to assign that particular drop variable with 1 and if incorrect, assign with 0, via the object action. Drop sources can be re-dropped if necessary, so if a source is dropped them moved to a different drop location, the object action of checking if it is correct and assigning 1 or 0 to the variable should happen again (crossing my fingers that this is possible). I will have a custom submit button to take care of the submissions so I can accomplish all of the scripting. I want to gi

Recently many of my clients asked me why the projects open in new window, because they want to open in the same window for more user finish control in the LMS. So Captivate have some config like that?

Hello,I have a problem... We have a Captivate VIP licence for 3 users. For one of my user on MacOS 10.14, I don't know why, one day Captivate says the demo version has expired and that we need to purchase it or enter a serial number. But we have a license based on user e-mail that I configured in the Adobe Administration Console.So I uninstalled everything on my user Mac, even uninstalled Creative Cloud.I then installed again Adobe Captivate thru the Package I built from the Admin console.And unfortunately, Captivate keeps complaining that the demo version has expired... And we cannot use it. How can I force Captivate to ignore this demo expired timestanp and connect to the Adobe website to verify the user e-mail and see that it is a valid VIP licence ? Can someone please help me. I am stuck and it is becoming urgent for this user to get back to work ! Thanks for the help. Andrew

Hi, Had a search but couldn't find an answer to this one. I'm working with a client who has over 300 existing scorm files to be updated in Captivate. I, of course, do not have the original source files. Is there anyway to extract the text content and import into a new Captivate template? As a backup is there anyway to bulk import text from another format such as xml? I realise you can export, make necessary changes and reimport, but as these modules are varied in length and content it would need to be able to import and generate text captions and slides automatically. Many thanks, Alistair 

Has anyone seen or written a date picker calendar for use in CP? There are flash ones out there but I don't know if they'd work in CP. I tried doing one with scripting but the scripting, while easy, is very limiting. Thoughts?

Hello,   my current issue is that I have some audio that syncs well with my animation in my timeline preview, but when exporting and viewing the training in my browser, is out of sync.   My setup looks like this: I am working on a slide that uses both a slide-audio, shows some graphics while its playing, when this sound is completed it pauses the training and shows a continue button to resume, after clicking that button it plays the sound attached to an object and continues the animation.   Generally, this works fine everything up to the pause is perfectly in sync, exactly as seen/heard when previewing in my timeline. Now when the new sound starts playing, the first couple of animations are still in sync, but then by the end of the 62 second audio clip it's completely out of synch. Previewing my timeline the objects a faded in exactly where they should in relation to the sound. But in the exported file, my last animations are delayed by seconds.   I can now guess at

I need to add closed caption to training modules I have developed.  I made sure to create the cc parameters for the project before working on any slides.  For some reason I can't explain, on the same slide, captivate can change font a number of times.  And it has nothing to do with resizing because I have very short sentences that are appearing with a tiny font.  I've tried redoing the slides from scratch without any cut and paste in case some font settings were secretly copied, it still changes the font but not necessarily for the same sentences.  The only commonality I have identified between the problematic slides is that they contain alot of Text to Speech sentences.  When viewing the next five slides in preview mode, they are perfectly fine.  But the published version is a different thing.  You find screen copies in published mode below, as well as the preview mode.  On one of my slides, it even introduces italic at one point.  It

I use Captivate11.5.1.499.  I've selected the dynamic them from the choices of themes delivered with Captivate.  When I preview the slides, everything is fine.  When publishing them, I am sometimes missing the theme background on some of the slides.  It is frequent in the quiz questions section.  For example, I might have 3 multiple choices questions.  The first one will have the theme background, but the next 2 don't have any background.  The 4th question might be a True or False and will have a background.  Sometimes it is right in the middle of the project (not in the quiz section).  I've had cases where the background was missing.  I don't change anything and re-publish and the background is back.  Any idea why?

Hello! I need to add  talking avatars (coaches) to Captivate. What is the best way to accomplish this? Are there talking avatars assets available in Captivate? Thank you!

Hello,In Captivate 9 I'm creating a slide in which I have groups of objects that contain lines. However, the lines do not show up when I preview the project nor when I publish it. I've attached a screenshot below. You'll notice a space between the circle objects and the squares containing dates where the lines should appear. I've tried deleting the lines and drawing them in again and changed their properties around, but I can't get them to appear. Thanks.

Hi there from South Africa. I lost my job due to retrenchment a few months ago. Before I left my previous employer I selected a few files of the work I've done for my CV portfolio to show a prospective employer.Then disaster struck. I got a bite and was asked to send my portfolio. However, the only two Captivate files I chose cannot be opened by clicking on the HTML file after unzipping it.  I've googled around and the only reason I can phantom is because I keep all my files stored on Onedrive. Apparently Onedrive is not able to store /support the file extension inside the SCORM zipped package. It's happened to me many years ago, but I cannot remember how to fix it. I was hoping there is an experienced Adobe Captivate user on here that can help me. I'm in a real twang here. The only one person left at the company cannot find the two Captivate files in question and I'm out of options here. Hoping someone can help.   

I'm looking to add hotspots to a slide. Does anyone have any resources to walk me through how to do that? 

Afternoon all,I have imported PowerPoint into Captivate that has a self assessment quiz (in other words there are hyperlinks in the PowerPoint that take you either back to the question if wrong or if correct you can continue). Question is if I export the Captivate to HTML (as flash is going away), the assessment doesn't come out right.  Am I missing something, a step or anything?  If I save it as a pdf everything works.  I need to save it as an HTML for our Learning Management System (LMS).    Thoughts?   Thanks in advance. Respectfully,Bill

I am a new user of Captivate 2019 on an iMAc using OS 10.15.7One of the reasons for adopting Captivate was to be able easily create video lectures using PowerPoint.  This does indeed works very easily. I use the facility to capture myslef speaking whilst presenting the slides.However, when published to an MP4 file the sound quite quickly moves our of synchronisation with the video.  This happens very quickly, within the fist few minutes of the recording.Is there any simple solution to this problem?

Hi.In my projects I use a variable to work the text contents in vector format, so I can see the output result better.But what can I do to get captivate to install this font on the end-user machine?Thank you

One of our clients recently deployed a large scale, multiple module project. Many of their users are complaining that the course is not marking complete for them on the LMS, though it doesn't seem to be consistent. Many have tested on the same LMS and it marks complete fine.We have tested thoroughly on SCORM Cloud and can't recreate the issue.Currently, each module is published using SCORM 1.2 and success to mark complete is set to 100% of slides being viewed.Is there anything within Captivate that would cause this inconsistency? Any possible solutions?

Hi there - I am new to Captivate so sorry if this is a basic question.   My company has a subscription to an online platform containing video content.  We have permission to embed the videos into our online learning slides, however I can't get the embed link to be accepted at all? Can I only embed if the source is in Vimeo or Youtube?  I can't see how else it will work?  Any other options?In ActivePresenter software, I used to be able to just add the url and it would work.  The video URL is:https://imdex.safetyhub.com/embeddirect/V28F49G7/2246553?videosettings=0-66&hideprogressbar=1And the embed code is : <div style='position: relative;padding-bottom: 56.25%;padding-top: 25px;height: 0;'><iframe frameborder='0' scrolling='no' src='https://imdex.safetyhub.com/embed/V28F49G7/2246553?videosettings=0-66&hideprogressbar=1' allowfullscreen style='max-width: 100%;max-width: 100%;position: absolute;top: 0; left: 0;width: 1

I have a new coputer using updated windows 10, Nvidia Quadro 2000, 64G of RAM and 4 TB of soid state drive capacity. Captivate shuts down every time I try to use screen capture via 'Video Demo'. I have tried everything,,. start up as Admin, dumping Logitech software, Adobe Tech support could not fix it either, opting to tell me to disconnect two of the four monitors I have on my system, and when that did not work she had me call Windows tech support to back out of my latest window updates which as it turns out is a grinding and risky process of resetting my system shutting down and rebooting my computer 3 times and THEN working in safe mode, etc.... My question is, why would anyone spend over $1K for software that requires disassembling my system and erasing Windows updates? The tech says it has something to do with a KERNEL being bad. She would not help me fix it.I really want to use the software, but not at that cost, all that work, not being able to update my Windows
