Captivate

Hello, My company had created several eLearning courses using Adobe Captivate 2019 (11.8.0.586) and is looking to now translate these into different languages for our employees. However, they want me to update these already created files in the newer Adobe Captivate (the new version my work is using is 12.3.0.12). They're currently saved as .cptx files and I cannot get them to open in the new version as it only seems to accept .cpt. Googling is failing me as I'm reading that it should be backwards compatible but, that doesn't appear to be the case from what I can see. Is there a way to open these files in the newer version? if there isn't a direct way to open these files, is there a way to convert them from .cptx to .cpt easily (hopefully without another paid software)? Am I doomed to redesign these training files in the new version?Also, newer version.... is there no way to just create my own slide content without being restricted to these semi-template style content slides?

hotspots cannot trigger audio when clicked. for example parts of the body. When user clicks or hovers over the hotspot, they should be able to hear the name of that part. we can have an interaction like play media for each hotspot or embedd the audio in the callout. The same can be done for all widgets and carousels. they currently have no ability to play audio

Hi all,Does anyone know how to insert the gif images into the image block in Adobe Captivate12.5? I'm not sure why the one I inserted became a screenshot... Thanks!

Hey hey Captivate folks!  I've created a static, non-interactive project in Captivate.  I was hoping I could publish it to YouTube and then embed the URL in my Moodle LMS.  I've combed the great wide Internets for some tutorials on this and found a healthy selection for Classic, however, I've hit a brick wall for the newer version.  Could've just taken a left turn and ended up in Albuquerque.  Complete transparency, I am working in the 12.2 release because updating has caused licensing issues within my office.  We are holding off on that update until license renewal later in the spring.  Perhaps this feature is readily accessible in the 12.5 release?  I am also aware that I can zip this non-interactive project and upload to Moodle as a SCORM package.  Just exploring my options, if any, beyond SCORM.   Thanks in advance!

Hi! I'm using the latest version of Adobe Captivate and I can't seem to find any info online and it's not very intuitive as to how to explore a captivate file to a pdf or word document. Can someone help?

I've been building a game in the all new captivate and hit an issue where an interaction isn't working. The user should be able to click on a picture and IF  value1A > 0, then it should take them to a certain slide. It is not. I have checked the variable is changing as expected. I have had someone else double check my logic to ensure it's not an error on my part. i have noticed that the interactions which don't work are on a grey background rather than white - they look different to the normal ones, but I can't work out why or how to get them back to normal. Deleting and re-creating the interaction doesn't help. I've tried different logic options. It's like it just doesn't want to activate the interaction on that object. But I can still edit and everything, it seems like it's functioning, there's no red dot, no orange triangle, it just doesn't work. any help would be appreciated - can't see any mention of the reason for grey in the support guides.

I am looking to invest in a new personal laptop that will also allow me to do side work in Captivate, photoshop, and other adobe products. I currently have an older HP that is on its last legs. I need something that will also be good for video calls, Microsoft office, and connecting to virtual desktops. Ideal for long travel as well. My budget is $2k. There needs to be enough space for the programs as well. I'm fine with using OneDrive to store files, but for example my work issued laptop (dell) is always running out is space. I'm just overwhelmed at the options and need the best advice. Thanks in advanced!

Hi all!I am trying to create an interactive video that uses question slides as the overlay slides in Captivate 12.5. I added a bookmark to trigger the overlay. However, when I pressed "Add overlay", my question slide didn't show in the section where I can choose which slide as an overlay. Is there any other way I can add my question slide as an overlay for a slide video?

Is there any script needed because I just need learners to retain a landscape view just like any app games (e.g. Clash of Clans) where you can only view the game in landscape mode.

Hi, I've seem losing my master slide which showcase the content menu after showing the overlay slide. So I have two overlay slide that I want to show up on the slide that contain video. The first overlay slide works nicely, the video stop and it shows the overlay slide content with blurry background of the current slide  (disclaimer: my master slide contain the menu button as header and a footer) but after clicking next button to the next overlay slide, the background of the content menu which is the header on that slide is disappearing, after I click next button again which refer to going back at the bookmarked on the video, the content menu as header is completely disappear but the footer is still remain visible. Can anyone suggest what's happening here? really need help to resolve this problem. Thank you.

I have created a project and I want to add interaction to open another project when the button is clicked but after publishing when I preview it the interaction does not work. I have two buttons in the slide and want to add different projects to each button. Can anyone help me in this regard? Thanks

I developed a quiz in Captivate and published it.  But I can't save it in mp4 format to post to students.

I've dug around and looked for the answer to this, but haven't been able to find what I'm looking for. Is it possible to alter pronunciation for certain words? I work for an agency that has quite a few acronyms, and they are frequently mis-pronounced. Thanks!

I followed along to this video https://youtu.be/nEBTw4HymnI?si=2E5GGXs85kxAIXxL and now i'm trying to add closed captioning to the embedded audio but cannot figure out how to do that/don't know if it's possible.  Anyone dealt with this and ahve a solution or any pointers?

I am working on my Master's and am in a deadline to get the interactive presentaion I make with questions added to my WIX website for my final class project.  I am clueless on what is the problem is or how to fix it.  I am just learning so I am sure that I am not using all the correct terms to explain my frustration.  

Hello everyone! I am trying to figure out if I could recreate functionality that I currently have with quizzes on my website in Adobe Captivate. All of these are learning, non-graded activities. 1. I've got a quiz window that first shows some kind of interactive introduction with a text and button after pressing which a student would get to the question itself, where once one of the answers is picked there is a comment for it and you can see if it is correct or not. Then after they press the button in the same window they get a general feedback (it is the same not depending on if the test is failed or passed) and suggestion to try it again. Here they can either take another try or go forward with the course (we have it as a long read with quizes embeded into the structure so you can just move on without trying again). Please see a short record of what it looks like attached. 2. It is the similar thing in terms of structure but a bit more compicated. First of all it is a multi

Hi, When trying to add Play Media interaction I have noticed that there is only an Audio option and the Video option is greyed out. Have anyone experienced using this option already? is it applicable only to some cases?Thanks for any clue!

I have a 92-slide project, and bookmarking works perfectly until you get to slide 70. Then, after that, it always returns to slide 70. Slide 70 is the first slide showing a video that spans 11 slides, if that makes a difference. Has anybody seen this problem before? I saw an old post explaining it can happen with SCORM 1.2, but I'm using SCORM 2004 3rd edition. The project didn't mark complete. It's hard to test because you have to go through the last 22 slides to reach the end. Any ideas are appreciated. Mark -

I am reliant on another team to load my Adobe Captivate lessons to the corporate Learning Management System (LMS).  This is problematic when I want to quickly send lessons to my reviewers to get feedback as the LMS team can take up to 10 days to respond to my requests. I have, in the past, used an Amazon Web Server (AWS) site to host lessons and that has worked perfectly. My current project is likely to require hundreds of lessons which means the AWS option is going to get costly. Does anyone know,:1. Can Captivate lessons be hosted on a Raspberry Pi?2. What are the software requirements for the Pi server?3. Is there a simple, step by step guide that shows how to create the Pi server with access beyong my own home network? I'm a content developer, not a technologist, so replies with strings of acronyms will be lost of me 🙂 (I currently have a Raspberry Pi 5, 64bit, 16GB)

Hi, I've designed a course that has videos created by me and a video linked from the web to YouTube. I previewed the course in Captivate on Desktop and Mobile (Tablet as well but it doesn't show navigation buttons so I have paused on figuring out that issue!).  I tested the course in SCORM Cloud - all is good. I published the course (SCORM 1.2) and it's now in our LMS. Functionality on desktop is great - all as expected. On mobile, however, when I get to the sllide with the embedded YouTueb video - I see the video and the PLAY button, but there's no interacting with it. I can't proceed to watch the video and because moving ahead is contingent on this step - I'm unable to progress and complete the course!!  Anyone know where to even begin to look for the issue and determine a solution?

the window it works from within is only about 4 x 3 inches. won't let me maximize. installed on surface pro, 64 bit - screen resolution 2160 x 1440. Is this normal? It is too small to read and I would need a magnifying glass to operate it.As well, the maximize button in the window is not highlighted, maximizing is not an option.

I just had Captivate Classic installed on a new laptop and it's up-to-date (v. 11.8.3). Since the installation, I can't find slide transitions in the Timing panel.  I'm working on a Blank project, and have never had a problem seeing the transition before.  Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Good day.  I frequently get the LMS preview error in Captivate 2019  "Failed to Preview in SCORM cloud."  I have cleared cache in both my Temp folder and Adobe Cache folder and have also checked for spaces on  any Advanced Interaction names.  Any suggestions on how to resolve this please? 

I've had no luck in importing even a single file or slide from PowerPoint 2019 to Captivate 2019. I've been unable to find any advice that works. Does this feature actually exist?When I've tried today to import, I get one of these three outcomes every time:1: Unable to import Microsoft PowerPoint presentation. The file may be damaged.2: Unable to open Microsoft Powerpoint...for editing. Check file permissions3: Cannot import the selected file Refer to the documentation to ensure you have installed the correct version of Microsoft office.  Even the most basic file like a blank presentation with the work 'Hi' as the only content doesn't work.
