Captivate

I use Adobe Captivate 5.5 for the Mac, my fill in the blank question slides are not working.  The answer are showing and the box for the answer is so small that either you cannot see everything you type or else you can't even get your cursor in it to type at all.

I am trying to put together a training video using a recording from a webinar.  When I try to add the video to Captivate, I receive an "internal error" message and no video is uploaded.  I have used the Adobe Media Encoder to format the video.  After using the encoder, the video will load, but there is no volume.  I have tried encoding several ways, and even used a custom format which indicated that the audio is included.  Is there any way for me to play the video through captivate with the sound from the webinar?

Hello all! I was wondering if in Captivate an object's state can change at a certain point on the timeline? I saw that the option is available in Articulate Storyline and I was wondering how I could do this in my Captivate Projects.

So I've downloaded the trial version of Captivate and have been testing it for a few hours now, attempting to create some Software Simulation demo videos. However, the program will only intermittently capture keystrokes when typing. I have tried typing in three different browsers (Edge, Explorer, Chrome - in address bars and in websites) and I Notepad. Sometimes, it will capture the keystrokes but it is very rare. Most of the time, the text will either just be there at the slide to begin with, or it will appear during the slide. I contacted support and after trying a few things and doing a screen share, he just confirmed for me that this is a flaw with Captivate. That sometimes, it just doesn't work and will not capture keystrokes. I'm so bewildered by this...An Adobe program that requires a $30/month purchase just...doesn't work sometimes? I feel like I must be missing something. Is this an issue that will be resolved?? I really want to make Captivate work because I am a long-time Ado

Hi there, Updated to MacOS Mojave 10.14Using Captivate 2017 releaseChrome and Safari browserPreviously on High Sierra, no issues with publishing. Now when I publish or preview my file in HTML5, the screen shows a spinning wheel, and the HTML5 never starts. I read on one forum of one way to overcome this i.e. by turning off playback bar on the skin editor before publishing. Tried it, and it works.But this is obviously a temporary fix. I still need my playback bar so are there any permanent fixes to this problem? Thanks

With 2019 (v11) just released, that's the only version available to purchase.  We have clients that require us to build in previous versions (2017 / v10) for the current case.I talked to Adobe support and found out two things:1. The subscription model only allows the use of the current version.  So now it's 2019, no 2017. 2. They just changed the policy on perpetual licenses, so if you buy a license of 2019, you can no longer call support and request a previous version serial number.Any one have any insight on this?  It really messes up consulting companies and freelancers as clients we may be building for hold off on upgrades quite often and require using a previous version, and if we don't already have it or add staff, can get them a license to perform the work.  I know the creative could suite can load previous versions for items like photoshop etc, curious why captivate won't.This is a little crazy, i'm sitting here needing to spend money with Adobe and they don

I have a course completion certificate that allows the user to enter their name and the course name in text input fields.The text entered is assigned to variables that are used to create a printable certificate on another slide.  Clicking my Print button jumps to that slide. On entering the slide I execute the Javascript "window.print()" command which opens the printer dialog to print a hard copy.  The Captivate will be published in HTML5 only.Problem 1: the printer dialog opens before the slide contents are fully loaded. So the only thing that prints is a background image - not user name and course name.Problem 2: the slide image is smaller than it should be and pushed to the right edge of the page with a lot of blank space on the left.I thought of somehow trying to trigger the print action later in the timeline after slide contents finish rendering but there doesn't seem to be any action that can be triggered that way - at a certain time or when an object loads.  As to

I have a page that has an HTML 5 animation. I have set it to Arrange "Back", so that when a menu button is click the menu shows on top. After setting the animation to "move to back" my menu, when clicked is still behind the animation. Is there a solution to get the animation to move to the back? Also, I  set the menu object to Bring to the Front.

This problem we are trying to resolve is with Captivate 2017.Scenario: Course has a formal quiz with 10 questions and student is allowed 2 tries at the quiz. The Results slide has the Retake button that is used to reset the quiz if they failed on the first attempt and allows the 2nd attempt. If the student fails the quiz a second time, the Retake button does not show on the Results slide and the Continue button takes the student to a Course Failed slide.On the Course Failed slide, there are 2 options for the student, exit the course without successful completion or restart the course at slide 1. For this restart course option, the quiz will need to be reset to a first time status (as if the quiz was never taken in the first place). The quiz has an introduction slide where we want to execute that reset the quiz action (we can use Advanced Actions that is launched when the slide is started, or whatever action needs to be performed).How do we program that Advance Action or is there anothe

Greetings from Chicago!I'm sure there's a simple solution to this.. On the quiz results slide:I need to display (show) a "Continue" button when the learner passes the quiz. The Continue button will move the learner to the final slide of the project which is just simple "congratulations" message and some simple directions.If the learner does not pass the quiz, the "Continue" button is hidden and the "retake" button is displayed. I appreciate any help you folks can lend.Cheers!Serko

Hello,Is there a way to make widget results report to a quiz for reporting purposes? For example, I am trying to do a Jeopardy game and I see a reporting tab but it just says "interaction ID". I realize there may already be answers to thsi question or reading material, so if you could just link that information- I would greatly appreciate it! Or any help

I am trying to develop a design template to create training material, and need some help. We are using Captivate 2019 and below is the requirement.Design the SCORM package content with Menu Items on the left. Main menu has different sub menus, and each time sub menu content and quiz is completed (including software simulation test), some % completion is tracked at a main menu level.There are software simulations (such as Demo, Assessment, and Training) for each learning content under sub menu. (Ex: Create Sales Order)Once all sub menus items are completed, entire learning is considered complete, and badge is displayed.Below is the sample design we want to get done.Thanks in advance

Hi People,Windows 10, Captivate 9.I have an interactive video which contains custom interactions (button based questions and answers). The video is just under 6 minutes long. My challenge is that when previewing the project, the end of the video fades out and continues for another 2-3 seconds. When I publish the project and view the final output, this doesn't occur. I preview in Firefox. I have tried both Chrome and Edge but they both fail to run the preview correctly - either fail to play the video frames (Chrome), or after stopping at the first interaction, then display a Loading message and continue playing.I've cleaned the Captivate cache many times and also cleaned the Windows caches.Ideas? Andrew

Hi,  My company installed Captivate 2019 after doing a windows 10 upgrade.  Prior I was using Captivate 8.  Now when I attempt to publish a project I get the error code Swf failed.  Note:  Please verify if any of the actionscript keywords is used as user variable name.  I was able to hit F11 and preview in browser without any issues.I don't see any keywords issues.Any ideas on what to do?

I am trying to do a simulations.  When I preview the project, or publish it- there is a "submit" box that appears.  I want to delete it, but it is not on the slide.  What am I missing?

Am I going insane?I have a number of objects on my slide. I need the GrayShadeBox to be under the "pop up" boxes, but over the background. Here, I have it under 2 boxes, but over the other two:If i try to use the arrange tool (both from the menu and from the "ribbon") to move back (down) one layer, this happens:It moved down to the bottom of the stack.... 6 spots!Ditto happens with ctrl+[Even if I it try to drag it, it won't stay where I dropped it (the red circle), and it actually disappears from the timeline!Why can't i get this layer to sit between WatchInboxTip_271 and SmartShape_268? What have I done wrong?

So I want the user to be able to click a button that will reset all the hidden elements and variables. I am wondering what the best method would be. Is there a javascript or an advanced action that can return/refresh/reload them to a specific part of course and set everything to zero?

I am reading in some forums that Captivate smart shapes are not 508 compliant and produce a ghost shape or button for 508. Is that true with Captivate 9? If this is true, is there a work around?J Noble

Hello Adobe Community,I would like to create a quiz at the end of a presentation and have the quiz results returned back to me via email.  How do I do this WITHOUT using an LMS?  Currently I am not using one.  I don't even see a feature in the Quiz Manager to have results emailed back to me.  Any assistance would be sincerely appreciated.

Is there a hosting service to make this software an LMS?

Hi,I want to create a video with a software demonstration. Audio will be added afterwards, by three different people (different speakers/accents).This means that sometimes, I will have to:make the audio file longer to match the video (add silence where possible)pause the video to match the audio (until the explanation of a certain part has ended)The first point is not an issue. However, I don't find a way to pause a video object for say 3 seconds.I have already checked the following:recorded video in a cpvc file. You can trim and split video, but no way to pause it as far as I can seemulti-slide synchronized video. You can distribute the video across several slides, but no way to pause again.I know that one can pause a slide by adding certain objects (click box, button etc.), but these only continue on success. This is not a solution for me, since I don't want any user interaction at all.The only thing I have found until now is the following:use a mulit-slide synchronized videoplace th

Hello all,I have a task to create a course somewhat similar to a role based course. In the course, module 1 is mandatory and module 2 is not mandatory for group 1. For group 2, they have to complete both the modules. To maintain consistency with other courses, I am not having a form screen but I am branching the group as soon as they reach the last slide of module 1. I will give two buttons in that screen, one saying Jump to quiz and the other one saying take up the module 2. I will assign variables to both the button.My main struggle is with the question slide. Group 1 has to attempt the questions related to module 1, he/she doesn't have to see the questions from module 2. Group 2 has to attempt all the questions. I tried by creating two question pools and to link the question pools to the variables. But that is not working out as the result slide will create confusion as it takes all the questions present in the file. How do I proceed? Please help!Thanks,Parichaya
