Captivate

I am super frustrated with Captivate right now.I had a bunch of issues with videos no longer working, so I deleted captivate and then re-downloaded it. Now when I open my project, I can't get the slides to center on the stage.I have changed the magnification to 66% and then I see it but it is in the lower half of the screen.When I center it and then click on the slide to edit content it disappears completely. Captivate help is closed on the weekends and I have to edit this project by Monday.Can anyone help? 

I’m in the process of creating some basic learning demos for staff and I’m trying to apply an animation where the outline of a rectangle/box appears as if it’s been drawn over the area where I’m showcasing (similar to what you see in other training demos for how to use captivate).  Haven’t been able to come across how I would achieve this and any help is much appreciated! Thanks

Hi everyone, Is it possible to change the cursor when a user rolls over the PLAY button when starting a course?  I of course have "Include Mouse" selected in the Publish settings.  This turns on mouse cursor cnages in the course itself but a little surpised that it does not turn it on for the PLAY button.  Any ideas?  I would assume this could be changed in the JS file but no idea where to look. Thanks!

Hi all, I've never used Captivate and am trying to determine if it will work for my needs. While I've been creating animations professionally for many years, they are primarily pre-rendered and I have limited knowledge of interactive tools. I'm wondering if Captivate can be used to make an interactive video, where the end user can do things like switch video streams on the fly, while the video continues to play (i.e. change to another camera angle), change audio channels (i.e. turn commentary on and off), and turn overlays on/off. I'm hoping all of these can be done while the video continues to play, through controls that are either always on screen, or ideally can be hidden until the user moves his/her mouse. Are these all functions that Captivate is capable of doing? Any tutorials you could point me to? Thank you in advance for any help you can provide!

My team has created the SCORM package with 10 quiz questions. The content is fine but after completing the quizs on LMS it shows the icon "Attempt in progress"I am wondering if it has to do with the quiz reporting setting? Thanks in advance for the advice 🙂    

I have added an accordian learning interaction to a fluid box on a responsive slide.  When editing, the accordian widget shows in its entirety and is centered in the fluid box.  However, when I preview it, the right side and bottom of the widget are cut off.  I have lost track of all of the different attempts at changing height, width, padding, fluid box positioning - after 3 hours of this I am stumped.  Also the next button, though active for the entire slide, will not jump to the slide specified in the action.  I am previewing in the latest version of Edge, which has the most recent Chromium updates, so I don't think it is an HTML5 issue.  Would anyone have any ideas as to how I can fix the positioning issue with the accordian widget, and why my Next button appears to be dead? Here is the view when editing... And here is the view when I preview...  

Hello. I have Captivate 2019 on a Mac.I am trying to make a Captivate VR project work in Google Cardboard.I opened Captivate, chose 'New Virtual Reality Project", clicked the 'Plus', and imported the 4000 px X 2000 px image. That is all.Whether I preview or publish, it works as expected in an ordinary browser window.But when I load it onto my iPhone and mount the iPhone in the 'Cardboard' viewer, I see a tilted static image that does not respond to any orientation changes.Maybe one of you knows what I am doing wrong? Thank you.

Has anyone used this plugin and gotten quizes to report passed (or failed) for xapi content on wordpress/lifter sites? The developer of the plugin is blaming captivate, but I'm pretty sure it's not captivate's fault. Any previous experience or suggestions/guidance appreciated. Thanks,  Lori

I have a lot of experience with Captivate ten years ago. Articulate and Storyline in the intervening years. The demise of Flash changes the way things work.Now I want to build some training for piano technicians. I have Captivate 2019. One question type I am trying to create is a multiple-choice question with four audio buttons, each button playing a different piano sound. Questions might be "Which of these intervals is a major sixth?" .. click button A, B, C, or D to hear the different intervals, then select answer A, B, C, or D.Quiz questions can't have interactive objects? How do I get around this?I just tried a different approach: creating an image slide with hotpots on the images of sound buttons A, B, C, and D, and attaching sounds to the hotspots. Then hotspots for each of the answers A, B, C, D, and these generate the normal "incorrect" or "correct" feedback. But I need four different sounds and it seems that the whole family of hotspots shares the same sound?There will be seve

Hi there,Would anyone be able to recommend a cheap VR Headset and 360 Camera that works well with Captivate?Thanks in advanceBobby

Hi all,Right now, the only way I see that I can share a project is through zip-condensing the captivate project file, sharing that project folder link through dropbox, then the recipient unzips the entire file and clicks on the index.html.Certainly there must be a better way to provide a project link (I hope)? The file size is too large for github, so ... help?

Hi there,I think that there is a lot of potential in Captiate's VR projects. They can be used in a lot of occasions - Onboading comes to mind immediately. However, the VR projects rely on WebGL that has some security concerns around it - interesting read here. WebGL is just not allowed in our company. I had a conversation with our Security team more than a year ago and they shared their concerns. No go. For me that means that I cannot even present a VR project to the stakeholders. I am sure it would be a success but there is no way security allows WebGL with the current concerns in place. I was wondering if someone has had similar experience, is there a way around that and and also are there any news on the approach?Thanks in advanceBobby

...Bonjour Elodie !… Et bienvenue sur Captivate !…Il existe de nombreuses solutions pour effectuer ce que tu souhaites !…(Voir : https://elearning.adobe.com/2020/11/afficher-masquer-show-hide/)En voici 2 (les plus simples…)Solution 1 :- Insère ton image sur la diapo… Donne-lui un nom particulier (“Dirlo_01” dans mon exemple) et clique sur le petit oeil juste à côté (cela la rendra invisible quand tu ouvriras la diapo…)- Crée (avec une forme ou une image) ou insère un bouton. Applique-lui l’action : si réussite => Afficher (Nom de ton image) et décoche l’option “Continuer la lecture du projet”- De la même façon, tu peux créer un bouton pour masquer ton image :Solution 2 :- Crée une action à l'ouverture de ta diapo pour masquer ton image :Et tu appliques la même action que Solution 1 pour le bouton !... Et voilà !...😉...  

Estimados colegas, saben si la versión más actuald e captivate 2019 es compatible con Big Sur de Mac?

Does anyone know if the exit command used on a last slide button would stop Catpivate from sending Complete or Passed status to the LMS? We are using xAPI and Lifter lms. Many of our courses are not reporting complete though some are, sometimes.  Any insight in to captivate complete/passed messages going to LMS and xAPI greatly appreciated. Thanks,  Lori

I've been a little surprised by something about to use javascript in captivate.If you know of any of the following issues, or if anyone has had a similar experience, I'd like to hear some information about them.All of the javascript below works perfectly fine in a typical console. (Obviously...)1.This javascript is not working.var uVarTest1 = "Hello";var uVarTest2 = "World!";alert(uVarTest1 + "\\n" + uVarTest2);2.This works.var uVarTest1 = "Hello";var uVarTest2 = "World!";alert(uVarTest1 + " " + uVarTest2);I wondered if, perhaps, I shouldn't write control code directly in the alert parameters, so I did the following.3.This doesn't work.var uVarTest1 = "Hello\\nWorld!";alert(uVarTest1);4.This works.var uVarTest1 = "Hello World!";alert(uVarTest1);I was perplexed... I also ran the following tests, just to be sure.5.This doesn't work.//This is just a comment!//Hello \n World!var uVarTest1 = "Hello World!";alert(uVarTest1);6.This works//This is just a comment!//Hello n World!var uVarTest1 =

I am unable to preview or publish (HTML) responsive Captivate v11.5.1 projects. I am using Windows 10 and tried all browsers with no luck. Additionally, I have cleared Captivate's cache and rebooted.  

Our organisation is moving from swf to HTML5 and I noticed that when I publish the projects in HTML5 they behave differently on our MLE. We have a project where the questions are just knowledge checks and don't score. We put 4 marker scores on the Continue buttons at fixed points as the user goes through. So as the user clicks the first scoring button they get 1 point so that's 25%. Once they have clicked all 4 scoring buttons, the course is complete, because it's set to Quiz is passed. Not so in HTML5, because I put a failure caption on the Continue button if the user doesn't click the Continue button but clicks somewhere else, the point isn't awarded to them even when they click it correctly. This then results in an incomplete attempt even though the user gets to the end. So you say, set it to all slides viewed, this isn't a good option for us as it doesn't always work on our MLE and network. There is a time lag and if the user goes too quickly, then the API can't keep up and again t

We are experiencing a problem with files published from Captivate and placed in to a Saba LMS. The settings I am using in Captivate are taken directly from a PDF supplied by Saba - and all their recommended settings are being used.When a learner goes through a single module of training there are no issues. But, when the learner re-launches that same module and clicks the initial 'Play' button, he or she is taken immediately to the last slide of the module - the LMS skips everything but the last slide. I found a thread on this forum that recommended changing the Publish settings  (Quiz -> Reporting). Specifically from SCORM Standard 1.2 to SCORM 2004, and under the "Advanced" area, checking the box next to "Set Exit To Normal After Completion". (See the attachment "1_Post_Adobe_Cpt_Forum.png"). This does indeed fix the problem, as upon relaunch of the module in the Saba LMS the slides play normally. But - when a learner leaves the module, he or she is presented with a

I'm using Captivate 2019 and stock entrance effects. I've got a several default fly ins and a several custom motion paths. In both cases, they will randomly not work smoothly. When they don't work, what it seems to do is flash the object in its destination location for a fraction of a second as the animation effect starts to play. It does not ever happen reliably on the same object/effect.

Hello,How do I delete Advanced Actions from my project?I use the 'garbage can' icon, but when I close and re-open, they are all back!  WTH!!!  ????

Hello:I am creating a course with self-paced learning checked (no LMS).   I've published it to a website.  However, when I relaunch the project, the bookmark window is all white and very difficult to read.  I can't seem to find any place in the Skin Editor where I could change this.  Am I missing where this setting is?  I've attached screen shots for reference and I'm working with Adobe Captivate 2019. Thank you! Alisa

I am using Captivate 2019 (corporate environment, software isn't supported by IT). Over the last week Captivate starts to save a file, gets about 50% complete, then no response. Task Manager shows "No response" and CPU processing goes down to almost 0. To test, I tried an older file just to make sure it isn't an issue with my new recording. Anyone else seen this? Suggestions on how to resolve? I would hate to have to reinstall, but will look to any ideas to resolve. Thank you!

Hello, I hope you can help me. I recorded a video using a program called Active Presenter. No I wanted to edit it in Adobe Captivate, but it won't load despite being a mp4 video. Did I miss something? When I loaded a video sent by a colleague AC did start media encoder all by itself to change the format. Here it simple says that the file is "wrong or broken" Sorry for being such a newbie and thanks alot in advance!

How can i export the captivate project to PDF, Please give the suggestion to me. Thankskind regardsJutigran
