Captivate

I am using Captivate classic and I have published a project and uploaded to the web. When I run the project I get incesent error messages in console - Uncaught SyntaxError: "[object Object]" is not valid JSON. This seems to be pointing to the CPM.js and CPXHRLoader.js files.  The main problem is that if i have any custom JS in the project, it will not run any of the functions and the project grinds to a halt. Any suggestions on how to fix this? I have also tried taking out all custom JS and I still get the errors in console, but the project plays normally then. 

I just installed Captivate 12.3.0.12 - I am using simulation demo to record a software program on Chrome browser. When I preview the simulation, the video zooms in, instead of showing the entire screen.  

Build: 11.5.5.5553 Gentlefolk,Rob Ward answered this question about a year ago, and offered up a third-party solution, which my organization won't pay for. So I think I know the answer but a year is a long time in the tech world and maybe something new has come along. [Rod's response here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/captivate-discussions/certificate-printout-right-justified-cannot-center-image/m-p/13902656#M302897] I have a PNG completion certificate background onto which I have placed variables to display the user name and completion date of the training. That part works fine. But the printouts are all heavily right-justified, with the printouts being handled by the window.print(); command. Aside from Rod's suggestions, has anything new come along to make this type of printout more presentable?  The audience is physicians, which as a class know an awful lot about the human body but knowledge of the innards of PDF printout adjustments is

It's a simple question requiring a simple answer, Adobe.If you've given the answer somewhere else, I apologise, but I haven't been able to find a date anywhere.Answers like "it's on the roadmap" just won't cut it.  I have clients that ask me about the prebuilt quickstart projects : "So you can open a quickstart project, switch the default images on Master Slides, tweak and create Object styles, and bring in your customised actions?".I reply "Umm, not exactly". And the next sentence from the client usually includes something like "we'd better find an application that can. Will Storyline, or Hype, or any of the other tools do that"?Help me out here. Anyone?

How do I advance to nect slide based on a choice made when using a pull down menu selection? Thanks

I opened an mp4 in Captivate to edit it.  This file was converted from a DVD to mp4 using another software.  At home, the mp4 plays with audio, but when I open it in Captivate, there is no audio.  Can someone explain?   Thanks.

I'm using video blocks/grids for a slide and I want to add a button to trigger to advance to the next slide after the user views all the videos. For some reason, once you watch any of the videos and click the button, it does nothing. It won't advance to the next slide. The button only works if you don't click any of the videos first. I can't seem to figure out why. I thought it was something I did wrong so I double checked to see if it works in one of the pre-built templates that's provided in Captivate. It doesn't even work on their own templates! Has anyone had any success with this? It works fine if I add a button to a slide video but I need it for a video block/grid. 

Bonjour à toutes et à tous, Je me permets de vous joindre car j'ai un problème majeur sur l'utilisation d'Adobe Captivate(version d'essai 2024)Contexte:Je dois publier sur une plateforme LMS des vidéos interactives, mais à chaque intégration sur la plateforme de codage (Visual Studio Code) , je me retrouve avec une fenêtre blanche concernant le projet. Tentatives:Dans l'idée d'une erreur de route, j'ai essayé de voir si ça fonctionnait en faisant un bouton pour ouvrir dans une nouvelle fenêtre, et là, ça fonctionne. Le code utilisé pour la fenêtre contextuel est le suivant: <a href="adresseduprojet/index.html" target="_blank" style="color: black; opacity: 0.35">Afficher en plein écran</a>L'adresse utilisée pour la miniature sur la page principale elle, est la suivante:   <iframe src="adresseduprojet/index.html" style="box-shadow: 2px 2px 5px rgba(0,0,0,.4);"></iframe>Vous êtes vous déjà retrouvé dans cette situation, et si oui, comm

Hello. Hoping for some assistance... I published a course to try it and it came out fine. Then I made a few edits- just changing some video slides, nothing crazy. Then I republished it. Now the Table of Contents is not publishing correctly. In Captivate, I have it organized so images are on the left, text is on the right, and clicking on the image takes you to the corresponding module.  But now, when it is published, the images are above the text, and they are stretched out. This is *not* what it shows in Captivate and we made no changes to the TOC page at all so I don't even understand why this is happening.  Please help me fix this. I cannot use this file with the TOC the way it is, it looks bad. But I can't fix it cuz what I see in Captivate is not what is being published. Thank you!

Hello, How can I enable the correct answer to be shown if the learner answers the question wrong?

Hello there fellow Captivate users. I am running into an issue with my advanced action breaking, and thus my slide is not working, so hoping someone can help me! I am running Captivate 11.8.3.8 on Windows 10.I have a slide with 8 click objects, 8 indicator arrows working with those objects, and one text multistate object which interact with an advanced action:I renamed all of them so that I can find the objects and build the advanced action, which does the following:- Change the state of the text object to one of its 8 states- Change the state of the current click object to selected- Reset the state of the other 7 click objects to normal- Show the indicator arrow of the current click object- Hide the other 7 indicators BUT when I save the advanced action, the names of Indicators 6, 7 and 8 change to 2, 3 and 4!(I was even sometimes struggling to find number 8 from the list available, and had to type out the name in order to get to it, not sure if this is a bug or just th

Hope all is keeping well! I'm new in captivate and worked on few projects for a software simulation and its working well but got a feedback regarding the screen resolution if its possible to have a bigger one. I'm publishing projects at 900x675, no TOC and no playbars and I believe its working well with different students but I know it will really depends on their laptops display settings and the browser they are using if its on 100% zoom. My current display is 1920x1080 and I'm happy with my view on the LMS Site But having thought of it, if I would like to publish upcoming projects on higher resolution. What would be the best resolution to use? Im currently looking for - 1280x720 (16:9) a wider one or - 1280x960 (4:3) which I believe has similar ratio with my current project. How do you think this will affect the look on the LMS Site as well as every student? Will it still be flexible resolution for every individual? I'm just avoiding the scrollbars to appear on the browsers but

Is there any plan to offer Captivate as part of the paid Creative Cloud All Apps package.  I understand that Captivate is much more than just a simple screen recorder but this is available on so many free/open source programs. I would think that it would be used a considerable amount from within Creative Cloud while using Adobe products.

I was really hoping this new Captivate would be the Articulate killer and integrate nicely with other Adobe products, the ability to design slides by moving content wherever I wish, but no this is simply a template driven piece of software which lacks a ton of features. Shame

(Captivate 7)I want a slide to contain a looping slide show of photographs.  I don't want to do this as an animated .GIF because the resolution isn't good enough, and I don't want to do it as a .SWF because I want it to work on Mobile.  My only choice seems to be to create a .MP4 and insert that, but then I'm not given the "loop" option.

I've recently got Captivate Classic installed after having Captivate 2017.  I've imported audio to a new project.  The audio won't play in the timeline.  Yes, the little audio icon is not muted.  The audio also won't play in closed captioning/edit window.  The time line marker won't even move ahead.  If I play the preview (F8) it won't play there either.  The only time it plays is if I use Preview Project.  This is the same for all my previous Captivate files that were originally created in Captivate 2017 and opened in Captivate Classic. I have tried exporting the audio files, renaming them and importing them back in without any success. To be honest Captivate has become more and more frustrating!   Any ideas?

I created a simple course in Captivate 12. There are just half a dozen slides with no animation or anything, one slide plays a Youtube video. On the final slide there is a "Finish" button that is assigned the interaction "Exit Course" on Click/Tap. When I preview on my computer, the course plays correctly and when I click Finish, the tab in my browser closes. When I upload to ScormCloud, the course plays correctly and when I click Finish, the tab in my browser closes and the status is marked as Complete. When I upload to AbsorbLMS, the course plays correctly, BUT, when I click Finish, nothing happens. It just sits there, when I finally give up waiting and close the window I get a warning that the course isn't complete yet, and when I close, the course is marked as In Progress. I've tried Tincan and Scorm and got the same results either way. I have had several users experience this, two of them, the course completion status changed to Complete 4-6 hours later. On my test account, a

Seems to be a common problem. Been through a few hours of wasted time trying to troubleshoot this. Two different computers. Both on Windows 11 and with modifications. The most recent, an i7-12700 w/ Nvidia 3060 6GB VRAM and 40GB system RAM. All other Adobe products work (outside their usual idiocyncracies) although it takes 10 minutes to launch CC these days... Captivate demo does as many say. It opens, clicking activate closes it, it pops up again within about 10 seconds, we go through this three or four times and the program shuts down. This seems to be a persistent issue since release and even support has no answers. Is this still true? Because I can't find one and I don't mind digging through my directories. The return on investment here is quickly fading. After 30 or so years, Adobe is feeling quite stagnant if this is the quality we've come to expect for the cost...

Hi there, is there anyway to get rid of this Sidemenü by accessing a Scorm Package from Captivate in Moodle?I know i can klick on < and it closes but its design is too old and i rather dont see that. PS: I cant use the new Captivate becouse this is about an old project, which i am trying to adapt in Moodle. best regards

I need some help.  I am having issues working with software simulations while using Mac OS.  Captivate is not recognizing my security settings.  At first I thought it was a warning as it appears to be working.Unfortunately, nothing happens.  Does anyone have an idea what is going wrong?I have 2 Macs. One is running Sonoma 14.4.1 the other is running Monterry 12.7.4.  The issue is the same on both.  While I was typing this I had been trying to record a simulation.  The countdown starts, then nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you 

Hi everyone. My team and I used Captivate 12.3 to build a course. We didn't know there were a million versions of Captivate that were good for different things. We just used the default program on the site. We used it because we need to convert the files to an elearning option via SCORM. It has taken a month or 18 hour days to build this thing.   I now have 10 separate cpt files. Originally I thought maybe I could branch each CPT Together somehow, but because we are selling the course itself, and wont be managing it, we need to combine it all into one file. Each module is about 10GB (roughly). Lots of video.  When I copy and paste one class into another, it keeps crashing. That's after just trying to merge module 1 and 2. We have ten. We can't rebuild the whole thing from scratch. What can we do? Any ideas?

Anyone else getting a fatal error any time you run a spell check in Adobe Captivate? I had been using Captivate 2019 and experienced the error. Then I had Captivate Classic installed on my device this week and hoped the error would stop, but it still happens. Any ideas?

Hi, my edited Classic published course suspends during the quiz and the screen goes white. I can still hear the audio playing but can't progress from that point. Contains a lot of advanced actions created by someone else. Any advice?
