Captivate

Speed up your authoring by drastically reducing the number of steps required to use images as buttons in your eLearning course. Captivate allows you to add any image or an SVG to your course and directly use it as a button. Define actions or advanced actions and assign them to the button in a few simple steps.

Well - new software - new challenges.That includes a newly redesigned play button screen.Those of you who are eager to jump on board with the newly redesigned version of Captivate but failed to appreciate the forced play button screen in Captivate Classic - will find it has resurfaced and here is one way to get past it in the new 2023 version.I am guessing there may be a much more elegant way to accomplish this - and if I discover it - I will certainly share. Until then, this is what I have.  As far as I know at this stage of the game - we will need to do this twice. Once for previewing and once for publishing projects. You will need admin rights to save the changes. **Please be careful making these types of modifications - you could break your install. Having a backup of the original HTML files just in case is not a bad idea. For Previewing Projects:Navigate to the following location...C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate\CPRuntime\Open the index.html file found

Does anyone know how to paste text and have it match the current formatting? I have been doing it fine until today.Normally, I would copy text from a Word document and when I pasted the text onto a slide in Captivate, the text would match the formatting on the slide.  Now, when I paste, the text keeps the formatting from the Word document.I don't know why that setting changed but it would be REALLY helpful to get it back.Any ideas?

I created a E-Learning with questions on CPT and posted in on my LMS (Talentsoft).The E-Learning is working and i have set the Exit Button via Java Script with the code SCORM_CallLMSFinish(); When i click on the button the e-learning is closing but it stills appears as ongoing and not as finished on the LMS, even if all questions have been answerd correctly. And when I try to redo it, when I am on the last slide, the e-learning shuts down automatically without any clicking.Can you please tell me what I have done wrong?KRYves

Hi all! I am looking for instructions on how to make text to speech a selection when I am selecting the audio functionality as part of a project. I have downloaded the text to speech packageI am selecting the text in my project and do not have the option for text to speech What am I missing any troubleshooting steps? I am using the most recent version of Captivate. 

Hello, I am using Captivate 2019. I have a problem. When importing quiz questions in CSV format in languages other than English, such as Russian or Korean, the font appears corrupted and the quiz questions are not displayed correctly. I believe this is a font issue, but no matter how much I search, I cannot find a way to change the font after importing the CSV file. In this situation, changing the font does not correct the text. Is there a way to change the default font to another font entirely?

Trying to publish a Captivate Classic project in mp4 format. From the Publish dropdown, select Publish to Computer. From the Publish as dropdown, select Video. Click Publish, get the following error: "Swf compilation failed. Note: Please verify if any of the actionscript is used as user variable name."

I'm encountering an issue with my slide in the review link. While it functions perfectly in preview mode, the elements don't appear according to the intended timeline during the review. This inconsistency seems to occur sporadically, working smoothly on the first attempt but not on subsequent ones. This might be a bug. Would you be able to assist me in understanding why this is happening and how to ensure consistent presentation in the review link?

HiI am having an issue with the new Adobe Captivate as I can't resize the project slides. It seems like such an easy feature to resize them but I'm going round in circles. I started with the default size of 1366x768 pixels, however, when I opened it again today, the size has changed to 1920x1080. I can only assume this was after attempting to record a software simulation on a Full HD window.  When I preview my project, the default size is back in play with the responsive design, but the problem is, my working window is still displaying 1920x1080 and nothing aligns properly, so I can't line up the components correctly. Does anyone have an idea for fixing this? It seems such an obvious thing but I'd really appreaciate any advice. TIA

Hola! He creado un contenido en captivate 2023 y lo he publicado en una plataforma moodle, el caso es que todo va bien en la primera visualización que los alumnos hacen, pero a partir de ahí si vuelven a entrar al tema, el contenido desborda la pantalla por debajo y no se ve completo.Voy a intentar adjuntar un vídeo.Gracias. 

After updating to Captivate 12.3 I started a new project a few slides.  Something seems to be different in 12.3.  All slides pause on exit with or without and interaction in place to do so.  If there IS an on exit interaction in place to advance to the  next slide or even to a specified slide - the slide still pauses. I have to manually click "NEXT" in the playbar to advance to the next slide. Is anyone else having a similar issue? I came across this post on Captivate 12.1.0.16 from August 2023 that is the same issue  I'm describing. https://community.adobe.com/t5/captivate-discussions/captivate-12-project-won-t-auto-advance-to-next-slide/m-p/14396617#M305700

So I created several training modules. (Using Captivate 2023) All of them work well, except one. For some odd reason when I test it in the Adobe Learning Manager, the slides will move to the next slide, but then a second later move to the one after that. So the reader is seeing a second or two of the next slide in sequence and then it move to the next one. This happens periodically throughout the module, so I am not sure what is wrong or what setting I might have off. I tried putting in a bookmark to stop play, but that didn't solve the problem.

On five random slides in my training, the closed caption is changing to "Enter slide note" only when I publish or preview HTML5. I have tried adjusting the timing, deleting and recreating the caption, but nothing seems to work. The only similarity between the the five slides is that only the last caption on the slide is disappearing. Has anyone else run into this issue? I'm on Captivate 11.8.2.

Hello!I've never used Captivate before, and I have to use it for a work project per customer request. Captivate Classic allows you to import a "Web Object" and add custom JavaScript to a slide, which is great! But I can't find these options in the "All New" version. Do they even exist in the new version?If Web Object, JavaScript interactions and other features aren't yet developed for "All-New" is there a link to a roadmap, so we can see which features are planned?3. If there is no way to add a "Web Object" in the new version is there a way for us to add our own custom widgets? I have not seen any documention on this, so if the answer is "yes", please also point me in the direction of where I can find more information on developing a widget (we are a team software engineers, we are only using Captivate because of this contract)I have seen the option File > Import > Project Content and Closed Captions. I have only seen a video related to the Closed Captions, but I can't

I am working with Captivate 2019. I upload the published zips onto a LMS. When I try to upload the scorm I get the message: "package manifest contains invalid XML." If I open the zip file, it does have a imsmanifest.xml, so that's not the issue. I have quiz reporting enabled, so that's not the issue. I have done this plenty of times before with other files with no issue. I cannot figure out what's wrong with the manifest in this file. I've tried publishing solely HTML and HTML and SWF. Any help?

Hi there - there are a lot of great ways to display information in the New Captivate, however, there doesn't seem to be an option to add CCs when you use audio on state changes (such as click to reveals), or any widgets. Am I missing something or are we just locked into basic functionality if we need our courses to be accessable? On a side note, is there any way to divide up a page similiar to wordpress/HTML with Divs? It seems extremely limited for formatting. Thanks!

Hello All, I am using Adobe Captivate 2019. The UI elements are very small. I am not able to see those on my monitor. Also, after publishing, the UI elements are too small for users to see. Please help me fix this issue

I recently created a short guide for Captivate users that are brand new to JavaScript and more specifically - trying to use it within Captivate. I have shared this with the e-Learning Community but since I am not too sure how many folks from this forum visit that site, I thought I would share it here as well in the hopes that someone will find something useful they can use in their own projects. The original post can be found at the link below. Getting Started With JavaScript and Adobe Captivate 

I need to delete a Slide note and I can't seem to get the delete button "-" to be enabled. I have click the check box several times on/off and that doesn't help either.     

Hi, I created an assessment in Captivate (version 11.8.3.8). When I enable reporting and select SCORM 1.2, I can choose whether to display the assessment results in points or percentage (first screenshot). However, when I select SCORM 2004, 4th Edition, this option is not available. Does this mean the results for each person taking the assessment will only be shown as a percentage? I created a test assessment and published in SCORM 2004, 4th Edition, then checked in the SCORM sandbox and found that the output was only displayed as a percentage. (second screenshot). I want the scores to be displayed in our LMS reports instead of percentage,    

Hi All, I have gotten wolf-howling-at-the-moon crazy with a Captivate Classic (11.5.5.553) project that has a lot of text and audio being toggled via Advanced Actions. I am trying to initially HIDE a Continue button and then have this appear if certain criteria are met. The way the Continue button is set to initially hide is to have the slide Advanced Action set to HIDE this button based on an IF criterion. I am actually using this slide AA, that is needed for navigation later, to serve a dual purpose. Issue I have is when I have this HIDE button action set, along with several other HIDES, the slide breaks and automatically goes to the next slide when the Continue button is clicked, in violation of AA rules set for that button. If I take this HIDE Button away from the slide AA, then the slide behaves as expected, but it appears on screen at an undesired time. Have I maxed out the system? Thank you for any thoughts. 

Hello,i'm in the course of testing the program for use in our company, and i'm struggling over this error message in Captivate.I'm asking the question here in the hope that someone has an idea whether this error message is an problem of my workstation, or a problem of Adobe Captiva 5:This message occurs while publishing the swf file, after compressing and inserting swf file tags, while saving swf file (according the messages in the publish progress bar window).The Project conditions are20 slidesEvery slide contains around 5s of captured full motion video and audio10 Text captions, some zooming, and 3 text animationsI'm usingAdobe Captivate 5 (Trial)Windows XP SP3 (Dell Latitude E6410, Core i5, 4 GB RAM)Tried to change some settings, close programs, reboot.

I'm really loving the new share for review function, however, I've come across an issue and potential bug where slide videos are not playing during share for review, but presenting the way it's supposed to when published into our LMS. This is troublesome when I have a bookmark to fade the continue button in at the end of the slide (end of video) and learners can't continue to review the rest of the education. Is this a bug Adobe is aware of?

Hi, I am using Captivate Classic 11.8.3. In this version, I cannot find the 'Continue playing the project' option for the hotspot in the VR project.Earlier, I was able to find it in version 11.5.5.Could anyone help, please  Thanks

At the end of a quiz, when you click the Submit button, nothing happens.  When it is clicked a second time, it goes to the next slide.  Can anyone suggest a fix for this?  What can I check to see if I configured my interactions properly?
