Captivate

Hello!Is the number of slides in a captivate projekt, respectively the file size limited?Can`t find any information in the user guide...Thanks!

I am trying to figure out how to edit the answer text for the Millionaire Challenge game in Captivate. All of the directions I've seen say to look for a "Btn1Label" option under Advanced Actions for each of the answers and edit the text. I edited the answer text there and that text is still not showing. When I tried previewed the game and even practiced publishing it the answer text is all blank. How do I fix this? Going to the elearningbrothers resources has not been helpful. Thank you all.

Is there any way to advance to the next question automatically when you use the "Return to Quiz" function.Also if you do that will the LMS track the answers correctlyThanks

When I select stretch to fit:A sub fluid box's width is at 100%:When I remove stretch to fit:The sub fluid box with is 62%:Why can't I type in a width percentage between 62 and 100%? I need this so that the text doesn't wrap to the next line. I can't do stretch to fit, because if the fluid box wraps to the next line, the width takes up the width of the device, and it looks like the text is aligned left.

Hi, I'm quite new to Captivate. I have an unresponsive project and published it as a full screen .exe file (without the play head) which runs fine on my PC, but is too big on other monitors. The project is on a shared folder and intended for training purposes, is there a way to make sure the file will adjust its size depending on what PC/Laptop it is opened on?v 11.0.1Thanks.

Hi:I'm new to Captivate and testing to see how things work.I've imported a PowerPoint presentation, not embedded, and then exported to see what the file structure and size look like.The PowerPoint is 27MB and the Captivate with the embbeded PowerPoint is 190 MB so I assume Captivate is creating a full res image for each slide.When I publish to html, the files are saved as PNG and the total project is 105 MB.In an attempt to reduce the file size, I imported a set of jpegs of the PPT presentation. The total jpgs are 6MB and the Captivate file is 7 MB - much better.When I publish this version to html, the folder is 37MB. It seems like a lot of extra data and I see that the images are converted to json (which I've never seen before).I then selected all the slides and set the properties/quality to jpg. When I publish this version to html with publish quality = jpg 50%, the folder is 26MB and images are converted to png.Is there a way to control the output?When publishing, the "Size and Qaul

Hi -Our team is creating a responsive project that has buttons users will click to access PDFs. I found this article (Learning Developments: 5 Simple Steps to Attach a File in Adobe Captivate) that explains how to insert a PDF. I followed the article's instructions and it worked great. However, I'm a bit confused because Captivate gave the below alert The alert says to put the pdfs in the "callees" folder. I tried this as well, and the buttons work fine. my question: does it matter if I put the pdfs in the Callees folder or in the top level of the output?

Hi there, I am creating a responsive project in Captivate2019 and am having issues with the native keyboard popping up on the mobile device causing the project to reduce size to fit in the remaining space. This is happening when the user selects a text entry box. I would prefer the keyboard to overlay the project so that it keeps all the proportions. I'm using a Samsung Note8.If it helps, it's a training package for a mobile app with an interactive test at the end of the modules where the user has to use a simulator to complete tasks on the application. This is where the text entry boxes appear so I need the simulator to continue to fill the Note8 screen even when the keyboard opens.Any assistance with this would be great, thanks.

I am trying to get an advanced action to implement a page changing routine, e.g. showing only one page and hiding the rest. My problem is that if I use Decision groups for each conditional statement, if variable Page = 1, the routines all execute and it goes from 1 to 99 in the same click. I only want it to execute 1 condition per click.

I have used a Captivate 8 file (.cptx) as a template/placeholder in multiple projects.  I customized the original file, including changing fonts, then used 'save as' to create many new courses from the "template".  Today I opened one of the captivate projects and the fonts had reverted back to the original file, then realized that ALL my Captivate files had reverted back.The projects are stored on both my PC's hard drive and on a network drive.  I verified that the fonts in all the Captivate files are also wrong when opened by a coworker on another PC, to rule out that it is my Captivate preferences or settings.Any thoughts on why this may have happened?

I have an unusual questions.  I am currently building training for reading a meter.  The meter is read from right to left which is also the direction we would like to fill in the blank, is this even possible?

HelloIn the publication of an interactive project, Captivate includes an image, with a size and an interactive area for the start click. If I'm not mistaken, there is a specific hot area to click on the image and I think it is not modifiable.It is the case that the project visualized in mobile, in vertical format, the image and the hot area are below the visualization and the user would not know what to do.This can be modified.Thank you

Alight.  Captivate.I inherited a project I'm trying to complete.  The entire project is nearly complete; however, whenever I go to preview in browser or publish to a video, text and photos are gone.  At first, I had some sections with the red box, and after updating each slide to maximum quality, those red boxes left. I am now finding that as the file progresses text and images are not fading in like they should.  On the timeline in captivate it looks alright, and in the preview in the program itself it works like it should.I have a background in after effects, and I find captivate very limiting and its very frustrating not being able to solve what appears to be a simple problem without relative ease.Does anyone have any suggestions?  To my knowledge every slide is visible and seems fine in captivate.  Is there a setting I'm missing with the objects options?Best,Derek

Please help me! I am new to Captivate and I am using Captivate 2017. I am working to turn a power point into elearning. When I uploaded the powerpoint for some reason the pictures on the first slide did not come over. I see them while I'm creating the elearning but when I preview, there are no pictures. That is driving me crazy. I'm pretty sure that I selected high def when importing the power point. Please tell me how to fix it? I have gone back to the power point and tried to move the pictures forward and to the front. It still doesn't show when I preview.The next question, one of the power point slides had a youtube video embedded. When I imported the slide I could not see the youtube video so I just deleted that slide and figured I would try to link it another way. The video is in my Captivate library. Is there a reason I did not see the video when importing to Captivate? Is there a quick fix?I would share the project here but I don't see an option.

Hi there,There does not seem to be any settings in Captivate 9 or in Media Encoder where it is possible to control the conversion of videos when publishing Captivate projects to HTML5.When publishing Captivate, the Media Encoder automatically converts all videos to 320x240 resulting in poor video quality. I've included a typical log file of a converted video.Any solutions or workarounds would be most gratefully welcomed!Andy.------------ Source File: C:\Users\AHines.ML\Desktop\GroupsNew\GroupsOverview\werwerwer\vr\Vi1.flv - Output File: C:\Users\AHines.ML\AppData\Local\Temp\CP80321147527Session\data-80327221957.mp4 - Preset Used: Custom - Video: NTSC, 320x240, 29.97 fps, Progressive - Audio: AAC, 128 kbps, 48 kHz, Stereo - Bitrate: VBR, 1 Pass, Target 0.60, Max 1.15 Mbps - Encoding Time: 00:00:0207/21/2017 09:19:57 AM : File Successfully Encoded----------

Hello, I apologize if this is a noob question, but I'm having a really difficult time uploading my captivate file into my Learndash LMS. I'm using captivate 9 and trying to publish a small HTML5/SWF course. I've uploaded the captivate zip file into my wordpress media library, and that's where I'm pretty much stuck. I'm not interested (at this point) in collecting user data, so I don't need tin can or anything like that. I simply want to include my captivate file inside one of my topics on a LearnDash course. I am aware that there is a plugin specifically designed for uploading captivate content onto wordpress, however the plugin is quite pricey and I've read rather poor reviews about it. I know there is a way to do this using iframe, I'm just not sure I understand it. If someone who has experience in this area could provide some help I would be forever grateful. Thanks.

My courses were created in Cp2017 initially publishing as SWF and HTML5. I'm being asked now to only publish as HTML5 and when I do, many of the items are not working correctly - drag and drop not working, widgets not working, states not working correctly-may or maynot show, unable to enter in text entry boxes, feedback flashes on the screen and totally not readable...Prior to publishing, I checked the HTML5 tracker and nothing was listed. Course worked as designed when SWF was included in the publish.Will upgrading to Cp2019 fix any of the publishing issues by being the latest version? Or, has anyone encountered these issues and if so, how did you mitigate them?Thanks so much!Cindy

I can't get the shadow or reflection to show up in any state except the default state. I'm not sure why the Shadow and Reflection area is not grayed out if it can't be used for the other states.

I've been working on a Captivate project for some time with no issue.However, today I publish the project and Captivate is rolling back to non typekit fonts. Strange, as I had made no font style changes and before it was working fine.So, I check the web projects on adobe font and can see that Captivate has not included any fonts in the latest publish.See attached screenshot:You can see on the 17th of may Interstate was included. Today (20th may) not fonts.Why has Captivate stopped including myFonts? I am logged in to CC, everything else is synching fine.Any ideas?! any fonts in the latest publish.See attached screenshot. You can see the 3rd version down did include the fonts and this worked OK. I have made no changes to font styling and Captivate should just publish and include fonts - but it does not.

I am relatively new to Captivate. I am creating an interactive software demo. I started with a blank project then added software simulation slides. I added buttons, text captions, and roll over captions to some of the slides so that the user can interact with the demo as they would the software. This demo is intended to be used for training purposes (hence why I included text captions to help guide them through and provide additional information) but we would also like to use this in presentations, and would therefore like to be able to hide all text captions and roll over captions within the project when necessary. Is there a way to do this? v. 11.0.1

Hi, I have several users who are running captivate 2017 on a Windows 10 laptop that exceeds recommended spec and they get the following issue: when pressing 'play' to preview a project from the edit window (play button in the bottom left), it plays fine up until a certain point in the video. The video then stops and captivate crashes to desktop. I have tried the following steps: Renamed SLcache folder and restarted captivateUpdated captivateUpdated windows to include all pending updates (1709)Updated flash playerRan as administratorRan in compatibility mode (windows 7)cleared preferencesupdated adobe application manageruninstalled and reinstalled captivatetried a brand new video demoMoved project cache to local file from roaming profileNot a single one of these attempts worked. The program still crashes on projects when they reach a certain point. It is different per project due to varying video length, but it isn't even always reaching 38% of a video before crashing, it varies from pr

I like to narrate off of a separate script and not from Notes inside of Captivate. Is there a way to upload a script directly into captivate for the creation of captions? Say for example I have the entire script in a flat file with some sort of symbol to indicate slide number?
