How to set a screen size for responsive project in adobe caprivate. specially in smaller screen size [portrait and landscape].

I wanna add music at the bakcground of my course, but I only find the "music per slide" , I don't find the option like the Captivate Classic, It is possible?

I'm a total newbie to instructional design and working on my first LMS module. I was on a call with a company that I'm working with, and they set up a call to "review how the captivate package will emit tokens and variable substitution for different languages (13 languages)." I have absolutely no idea what they mean by the captivate package emitting tokens... Any thoughts on this one?  Also, does anyone have any idea on variable substitution for different languages??  Online resources or even a starting point would be great. Thank you!

When I attempt to import an audio file to the background,the file loads, the window opens to review and edit the recording,the issue is that there is no Save or Cancel command button as indicated in the YELLOW box at the bottom right of the screenshot.I have to use Task Manager to close the window and re-boot the app.NOTE: I have been able to perform this function successfully for many months, on many projects, for some random reason, it is not working now.This is true for all project types: Blank, Video, Software Simulation.I cannot figure out why the imported file displays in the window as Narration: (name of file) As shown in the RED CIRCLE below:I appreciate any and all assistance. This is a really tough issue given my project deadlines 😞

Hi everyone,I'm having a strange problem with Captivate.It's asking me to buy the software, but I already got it? It appears fine in my plan overview in Adobe CC. Otherwise, Creative Suit works just fine. I have tried on several computers and unlinked them. Has anyone else experienced the same?RegardsJacob

Hey everyone,  This is my first time posting here and I hope what I'm posting is OK! I'm a teacher in Ireland where my students are in the age bracket of 12-18. I currently use Google Slides to create content for them and use different apps for quizzes and learning checks. I am wondering if anyone else here teachers in this age bracket and uses Captivate. And if you do, how do you find it, and how do your students find using your created content? I'm obviously remote teaching at the moment as all of our schools are shut. And I want to find a way to create content for my students that is engaging and easy to use for them. Any response is greatly appreaciated and thank you for your time!

Hello, When I add bullet points in a slide and try to get a "preview", I get an error message and can't see the slide. If I replace the bullet points by a simple -, it works.  Strangely, in some slides, there is no problem, and in other, there is the problem.  Any explanation or tip, please ? Thanks and best regards, Marily

I’ve designed a slide with three shapes configured as buttons. Each button has a different term on it, and each button’s Action is "On Success Change State of" a multi-state shape named text_placeholder_shape.  As the user clicks each button, a different state displays the response from a different country of each button’s term in text_placeholder_shape.  I can preview the slide and the text size of all three states are the same. (See example.) But when I view it in the SCORM cloud the size of two of the states changes–the text is very tiny. (See example.) I am including all the screenshots. I am at a loss as to why one would stay the size I programmed it to and two would change. Any thought? 

Is it possible to publish or print a storyboard/handout with thumbnails in the new Captivate or do I have to use Classic?

Hi everyone, Just would like to ask around about an error I am encountering, specifically in creating a glossary. After publishing the module all fonts or characters suddenly change to a diamond character. I tried several ways  like uploading a word file, uploading a png or jpg, doing tweaks on the fonts like creating hidden white fonts yet nothing works. It also does not acknowledge the "apostrophe' when I use it. Can someone help me on this? Thanks

Hi.  Suddenly I found Adobe Captivate on the main screen of my Android 10Q right where Bluetooth and Location are.  It goes off with a flash randomly and my pictures started being deleted as well.  But that's a story of cloning I believe.  I can't uninstall it though.  It's embedded somewhere. Not in apps. No APKs. No downloads etc.  Can someone help?  Short of a factory reset?  Thanks a lot. 

I created a course from scratch with recorded audio.  I don’t want the "Next" slide button to appear until close to the end of the audio.  I tried setting timing for that button to ‘Appear After’ and set the time close to the length of the audio playback.  I have it selected to display for Rest of Slide.This works for slides where I have a picture linked to an external video and my button appears near end of video.  If the slide is just text with voice over it is not working.I am including a screen shot of the timeline with one of the slides this is not working for.How can I accomplish my goal?  Do I need to use an advanced action, and if so, how?  I have not used those.I am using the 2019 Classic Captivate.Thank you!Cheryl

Captivate Quiz template - when published to a LMS the radio buttons do not change state.

Hello Using Captivate, how can I swipe up and down to reveal long form text content just as I would when browsing a website article on mobile? Thank you

Hi, first of all thank you for any help provided. I have a simple show me, try me and test me project. I have 100 slides for show me all with one single text caption providing guidance. For test me I am providing one text caption for guidance and one hidden text caption accessed through a hint button for assistance. Instead of hiding each text caption manually is there a way to wildcard hide the lowest numbered caption using javascript  and then this can be set as the page enter action to the 100 try me slides. I could also use this on the hint button to show the hidden caption. Aware there may be slicker ways of working in terms of setup but as this is an established project I'm looking to align to the current practices. Thanks again in advance for any help. 

Curious if this is a commercial product or something homegrown by someone, as I can't find any documentation on it.Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone, I'm still doing development in Captivate Classis. The upgrade seems to have gotten rid of the preview next 1-5 slides. I don't want to have to publish/preview an entire 80 slide lesson to just see if a couple things are working. Did that option get relocated somewhere? Also, I used to use custom motion paths in advanced actions. But I don't see the ability to do that anymore either. Again, am I missing something? Or did they get rid of it?   Anyone know how we can get these missing things put back in? Thanks,  Lori

Hello Group! Since the first week of July, I've spent around 40-50 hours navigating around Cp 12, trying to figure it out, as I prepare to launch a course in the autumn.  At first I blamed myself for not understnading the interface--and I asked so many questions on this forum! I want to thank you all and let you know how grateful I am for your intellectual generosity in answering so many of my questions. Lilybiri Lieve, Stagprime, and many others. I appreciate your kindness and willingness to help.  I also have had lovely experiences with the Captivate team, including a very kind Gaurav, who spent an hour on a video call with me watching the bugs on the screen of my practice module, taking notes, and sending in bug tickets. But as kind as that was of him, it is also one more hour of my time that I spent trying to fix Adobe, rather than writng and building my course. I cannot afford to do this. I love the idea of Cp 12 and I think when it is ready it will b

HiI changed DpiAwareness to be able to use screenrecording. This made everything super small in captivate. Any way to get the "correct" reolution again?

I have a number of SVG character cutouts I got from Canva in a Captivate 2019 file that aren't being picked up by my NVDA screen reader. The accessibility fields are filled out and the screen reader is picking up the SVG image cutous that I got from the Captivate library just fine. Anyone have experience with this or any suggestions? Thanks!

The 'g' in the title block (font Alegreya) keeps getting cut off regardless if I make the font smaller and or shift the spacing. Also, in all responsive ratio as well. Any advice?  

HelloI need to export the project to a 1.2 Scorm , Im currently working in the new version of Captivate but I can't find where's that option. Pls help!! 😞

I’ve designed a slide with multiple shapes configured as buttons. Each button has a different term on it, and each button’s Action is "On Success Change State of" a multi-state shape named text_placeholder_shape.  As the user clicks each button, a different state displays the definition of each button’s term in text_placeholder_shape. The actions are set for Infinite attempts. When I preview the slide, I am able to click on four slides and then the slide advances to the next slide. I am including screen shots to show what I am doing. I have been reading about the active and inactive display, but have not been able to determine how long the button should be active. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have created a course that does not have any SCORM and want to put this into Moodle as a resource. I am looking at the instructions in Moodle and it says to publish to the web. But when I go to Publish, there is no option for Web. Under Preview there is a feature for live preview on devices. But not sure where I would save the file to. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
