Captivate

I have a 4 minutes mp4 video covering highlights of a new product version recently released. Had it been a regular SCORM output, interactive, then userc could have clicked the links to interact and navigate.This being a mp4 file, is that possible. The mp4 files is meant to be a self-playing file without user interactivity. Just wanted to check if it is still possible.

When previewing a Cp 12 project, the first thing that I see is a charcoal-grey screen with a play button on it. Is this really what the user would see? It seems like I am looking at a mistake - like I would expect to see my nice title page, with a play button on it. I have not published any projects yet - so far I am only looking at my practice projects in preview mode. How accurate is preview mode, as compared with what the user will see?

On Click To Reveal Widget: With 3 or more flip cards on a slide, the Tablet view fails because it only shows 2 of them and does not give the learner any indication that there are more flip card(s) if they scroll to the right.  Suggest Adobe fixes the layout for the learner sees right away that there are more for them to do, without learning having to hunt around the screen. Thanks! (Comments from other users, if I am missing something?)

Hello, group! May I ask, if anyone can share accessibility info about Cp 12? I embed subtitles on all of my material (I do this as I create slides/videos etc, because I think after-market subtitles are icky), and I consider colours (for colour-blindness) and font size and choice for dyslexic and visicion-impaired users. Are there other areas that I could consider, or guidelines you can recommend? With drag-and-drop and T/F and Radio button quizzes--are there accessibility considerations for those who have trouble with mouse operation? In terms of Cp specifically, is there an option for an image to be narrated/described for the visually impaired? (I don't really like the quick, robotic voices of image-describing software, but I am happy to learn about what options we have in Cp. If it's all terrible, then I could always create a course with a separate version where I narrate the images myself...) Thank you in advance. 

When I publish my VR project to my local drive, the spherical slides are missing. I can launch the HTML file and it seems to work OK, but all I see are hotspots. No images. I'm using the publishing defaults, and all look to be in order. Is there a setting I'm missing?

Hello Community,The option to edit background images in a simulation with mspaint.exe was available in windows 10. However, in Windows 11, it does not take mspaint.exe. Steps: Right-click on slide > Find background > Right-click on background > Edit with > Open (here mspaint.exe used to work, not it doesn't seem to).Please advise if there an option to resolve it. Thank you.

Hi everyone,i am trying to embed my Captivate Video in to my moodle page via using iframe. But when i embed it, it steals the focus and my page opens already scrolled down. In order to see the information the user should scroll up again, which is a little disturbing.My video has no autostart function. I use a poster to click on. I read that the problem could caused by this "captivate generated play button" on my poster. But i actually want to continue to use that.Any suggestions for solving this problem.May be a tweak by *.js or *.css??? Thanks a lot.(Captivate 2019, Moodle 3.5)

How Do Get Smooth Editing In PC Smooth editing is an essential aspect of content creation, be it for videos, written articles, or any other form of media. It involves refining and polishing your work to ensure it's coherent, error-free, and engaging. In this article, we'll delve into valuable tips and techniques to achieve smooth editing, allowing you to produce high-quality and professional content.  Organize Your Thoughts Before You Start Before diving into the editing process, it's crucial to have a clear understanding of what you want to convey in your content. Outline your main ideas, create a structure, and establish a logical flow. This pre-planning will save you time during the editing phase and help maintain a coherent narrative. Read Aloud for Improved Flow Reading your work aloud is a powerful editing technique that enables you to identify awkward phrasing, sentence structure issues, and areas where the flow can be improved. When reading aloud, pay attention to the paci

I am trying to capture a full motion recording while scrolling down on a webpage. I am using the software simulation manual recording option. When I finish and view the slide, the scrolling is jerky and does not show smooth scrolling. 

Hi all, When I record a simulation it ends up bigger than the slides. Please see attached screenshot. I have tried every single thing I possibly could. I tried rescaling the project, I tried matching the dimensions of my simulation screen to my project. I have exhausted google search and Adobe help forums. Anyone have any idea? I'm at a loss.

Can we show custom cursor for Drag and Drop activity in captivate 2019

I've inserted a tab widget into a new page on a blank project (no assets used) and it gets funny in the preview, will it come back to normak once uploaded? Why is the preview so stretched out and wierd?  The first screenshot with the scarecro is how it looks in the authoring window, and the second with the potatoes is how it previews, none of the other widgets are doing this.  * I had disabled the heading on the widget and it still appears in the preview as well. Previewing on the mac in ventura using Safari. 

I just started using Captivate and am using the new V12, not Classic. Is there a way to set the defaults for closed captions for a project?  This includes setting the default font, the default voice agent, etc.  You can at least change fonts on all slides after setting up one slide, but it appears you have to change the voice agent separately on every single slide. I cannot find any way to do this in Captivate.  I've also searched the Windows Registry and looked through the XML files in the install directory of Captivate, but had no luck. Is this something that is simply not implemented? Hennie 

Can anyone suggest a reliable, US based, Captivate reseller?  Every year I practically have to beg to get a renewal quote sent to me and am ready to try someone other than Adobe. Thanks, Tony

I have partial scoring set up for 30 questions over 4 question slides. Each question has a partial score of 1 which should equal a total of 30 for the Maximum score, however, the max score states 46. The correct responses do reflect the number of questions I selected, I just can't figure out where the max score comes from. Any idea where the extra 16 points come from? Thanks in advance for any help!

I have a Play button on my Captivate slide for the user to press when they want to hear the audio for the slide. After the audio plays I have a Replay button appear in case they want to hear the audio again. But, the replay button takes them back to the beginning of the slide showing the Play button again. I want the Replay to go back to frame 2 to bypass that Play button, Is this possible?

Two Adobe Captivates. Which one should I use? What is Adobe Captivate Classic? What does the Classic version let me do that Adobe Captivate doesn't, and vice versa? Read this blog by Allen Partridge, Director of Product Evangelism, Adobe, where he answers all questions and more.

I just started the free trial with the new Captivate and am following the tutorial videos included. I chose the Leadership template for practice. The tutorial person chose a different template. He says to adjust the picture on the title slide, click the pencil next to the asset/system folder. On my Leadeship template there isnt a pencil, even though I can change the image. When I try to move the texbox title, it moves the picture too, so I feel sure the text is locked to the picture (so no pencil to adjust the image). I can't find an unlock anywhere. Help! Thank you! 

I am doing a project for school and having issues with my SmartShapes. When I publish my project to HTML, they are not there. I published to video, and they are there.  There are simple SmartShape. They are not buttons; no fancy work going on. I did have an Enternce effect applied at one point, but I have removed it. Now they come in later on the slide, according to the narration. I have arrows pointing to what I am talking about on the screen. Example of the arrow. Properties setting  Timing Here is my timeline - SmartShape_35 is the one in the above image. So as you can see very simple. I am using Chrome, and yes I have made sure it is updated. I even tried it in Edge and it did the same thing.   Any ideas on why they are not showing up only when I publish it to an HTML5? Thanks

Good morning.  I found a similar post with this question, but it never got to a solution.  So apoligies if this is a repeat.  I'm trying to create a slide (actually, several) that include images and an audio file.  I want the images to appear at times appropriate to the audio file.  I've included 3 images.  The first shows at the beginning of the slide.  The second "should" appear at around 28 seconds, and the third should appear at 73 seconds.  For the latter two graphics, I have the "Appear After" in "Timing" set at 28 and 73 seconds respecrively, and both are set to display for the rest of the slide.  Both of them are assigned the "Fade/Zoomin" effect when they appear.  When I first created the slide, I saved it and previewed using HTML5 in Browser and everything worked fine.  I then created a second slide.  This one also had an audio file and three graphics, but it was set to appear at 2, 10 and 20 seconds. 

Hello, I am excited to get my captivate 2019 software installed and just finished my project. However, when I publish the project, I got a black screen when browsing in both Chrome and Edge. Can you pls help? If so, that would be great. Your help is greatly appreciated. The project can display in Captivate and preview.   I published the project. When double clicking on index.html to review the project, I got a black screen.   The browser is supporting WebGL.  I published the project as HTML5. Thank you so much for your advice in advance!

Hi, I'm currently enjoying the trial version of the New Adobe Captivate. However, I cannot see where to publish my trial course as a SCORM file to upload to my LMS. The only option is as an HTML file. Is this function available? Kind regards David Parker

Currently reviewing the new Adobe Captivate 12. After trying out various aspects, one important constraint (probably necessary to make it fully responsive) is the closed nature of the various blocks (text block, media blocks). Once added, you can't just add another graphic element to your slide, or make changes to the existing elements other than those in the predefined parameters located on the right.This initially seemed truly limiting, but in a recent YouTube review of the product by Tim Slade, someone from Adobe elearning (Allen Partridge) responded that it is possible for users to "...create your own design options - and those will allow you to change the contents / arrangements and layout of the items for any given layout slide - so things like moving a button around etc. are all within reach". If this is the case, it makes the product truly powerful. My question is how does one do this (haven't spent hours trying to find out how, but it doesn't seem obvious)?Another aspect of th

I have a radio button quiz. When I rollover each one a grey highlight appears. Sometimes they are too short for the answer and I can't find a way to adjust them. Please see my example.

Has anyone had any luck using the new version of Captivate in Canvas? Because Canvas has such a small work area, the Captivate projects are resizing them as though they are being viewed on a tablet. Is there a workaround to prevent this from happening?
