Captivate

I have applied the states of "visited" and "selected" to a branched interaction. I have made them both greyscale and blurred the image. However, when I preview the page the image does not change to what I have selected for it after clicking the image and returning back to the original slide.

I've created an assessment with some input fields for open-ended questions.  These questions prompt the student to answer in paragraph form, 5-7 sentences.  However, now that the assessment is SCORMed and running in my LMS (Moodle in this instance), I've realized that the resulting interactions report doesn't include the entire paragraph from the student input.  There is a cut-off.  Is this a setting (or something in the variables) specific to the Adobe Captivate project?  Or, is this something within my LMS that I will need to adjust? In the Adobe Captivate project, I have selected the reporting option for these input fields (to both be included in the quiz and reported to the LMS).  And I am working in version 12.6.0.    Thanks for any advice or insight someone may be able to provide!

Problem: Need an user input field in Captivate (not classic) to report its content (variable) to the LMS. In the past, I was able to this in Captivate Classic using a variety of methods (simplest being a survey question). But, with the newest version of Captivate, I'm struggling. My goal is to "pulse" the learner on a topic. The users input will save in a variable or as a quiz response and kick back to the LMS in reporting either as a quiz question or user interaction data. I tried to use a short answer question field, but having issues with it requiring an "answer" so I'm trying the input field and set it to report to LMS. If I have it set up right, could be an issue on the LMS side (SuccessFactors Learning)? Here is the input field reporting turned on.  What are some best practices in Captivate to accomplish this goal? Am I missing something easy? Thanks for your help!

I am on the 12.6 version of Captivate. In the last two weeks, I am unable to view anyone's CP  project review link sent to me or any CP review links I create.  The page either gets stuck at 90% or it gets past the project loading and then the page continues to spin.  I have restarted the program many times and restarted my computer with no luck.  This is frustrating as I then cannot view the comments left for me in the reviews.  Has anyone experienced this? 

I am very new to using Adobe Captivate, so new that at the moment I'm still playing around with the 30 day trial version, which appears to be the most recent version of the app. I'm feeling very frustrated, and I'm sure it's down to my inexperience, but it seems very limited. For example, I'd like to have a background image of floorplan with buttons which, when pressed, would take learners to a specific lesson for that room in the house (this is a home first aid module), but the buttons all seem to be locked in place and can only be moved left or right. I also tried the hotspot as an option, but of course they're not geared to that.  At the moment, I feel like I can do more with H5P or even Powerpoint. What am I missing, and what should I be looking at to improve?

For anyone looking for a solution to remove Duration from the TOC, this simple fix works.Once you have published, go to index.html and edit it in VS Code or similar and place this after the <head> tag:    <style>      .toc-preview-content-item-duration.duration-column {          display: none !important;      }  </style> Result is:   

Noticed that the bottom of some letters are getting clipped. Tried adjusting the font size and the padding around that texrt box, as well as adjusting the text layers in the timeline, but nothing seems to help get the bottom of those G's to appear.  Any ideas of how to fix this? 

Not sure if I'm losing my mind. I remember the ability to zoom in/out and print pdf in review/published mode. (Captivate 12.6)Did they take away this feature? In my narration, I mentioned to the students the ability to print the curriculum. 

Like so many others, I am so frustrated by this new version of captivate. Slow, slow, crash, crash, just stops working and won't open some files for no reason. I am trying to combine to .cpt files and since there is no longer an option under import to bring in slides from another project, I tried copying and pasting. This results in captivate shutting down every time. Does anyone have suggestions on how to bring slides from one project into another?

I am fairly new to captivate although I have learned to use it pretty well.   I love using the 360 slides in my training and they usually work fine with a few glitches here and there.  Here is where I am running into a problem:  I built a module where it is basically just informational.  You click a marker on a plot and it brings you into a 360 environment and you navigate around in 360 slides from there.  No quizzes or questions, just a tool for viewing in a VR type environment.   I have built it and it works great in preview.  It is too large of a file to publish to our LMS system, which I originally planned to do and just not have any reporting.  Then I tried to just publish it to HTML so I could allow users to access it at any time with a link and use it.  It seems like when you publish it as just HTML and try to open it in a browser, it just shows black screens for the 360 slides.  I am not finding any solutions for

Hi, I'm using Captivate 12.4. When opening my project in preview and/or published project, the hotspots are further left than where placed in the app.  I read a similar issue posted in Feb 2024 and followed the instruction to clear cache but this has not fixed the issue. Why is this issue persisting and is there a fix? In the app       Preview / published 

What is the path to use when I install the voices for Captivate 2019? In other words, where should I create a folder for the voices when I un-zip the file I downloaded?Thanks.

Hey everyone,I’ve run into those super thin “hairlines” that sometimes appear around shapes or objects in PDFs — and I’m trying to figure out if they’re just display artifacts or if they’ll actually show up in print.Would love to hear your experiences — especially if you've seen them disappear in print

Does my client require Adobe Captivate to be able to publish my course via their LMS?

I'm a long-time Classic user being frustrated out of my mind by new Captivate. I want to create a graphic of a line across the page, with text above and below the line. As I have seen people say so often here, this takes 5 seconds in Classic... For the life of me, I can't find any way to resize the graphics box  height to be narrow enough. It seems it can only be resized to the height shown below. Am I missing something obvious or is this the best that can be done?

I need to have a screengrab scrollable on the slide in captivate Classic. I also need hotspots to scroll so that the user can click the links in the screengrab.Storyline has the scrolling panel feature, this is exactly what I need in Captivate Classic.  Is this possible in Captivate Classic?The obvious solution is simply to use Storyline, but that's not possible on this occassion.  

HiI'm using the latest version of captivate on a project that involves a lot of video (mp4). All works perfectly in Captivate preview and when I publish (SCORM) to our LMS (Moodle) and preview there. But when I access it as a user the videos and audio files randomly cut off either at the start or at the end. I've tried adding a pause on exit but it makes no difference. I can see others have had similar issues over the years but cannot find a definitive solution anywhere. Can anyone help please?

In Captivate I want to create 3 sections in the same project and I want if one section button is clicked then only that selection slides to be shown till the course is completed by attempting that section quiz. Is this possible if yes can anyone guide how in a newer version of Captivate?

I am using the new version of Adobe Captivate and have an issue with getting a consistent look and feel with my buttons. I am trying to get a similar look and feel to the buttons in the below screenshot. The main reason I need the rest of the training to mirror this page is because the ability to force users to go through each step is tied to the buttons shown here, not the buttons in the play bar. However, when I use other slide templates—like the one below—the button is at the top of the screen, and I can't change the position. If the button locations are always changing, that's a problem for usability. Consistency is important from a design perspective and to make it user-friendly.Then I thought I'd try to insert an interactive button block below the main block, but there are two issues with this approach. 1) The most important being there is only one design style for the button!! The buttons with circles and arrows are not an option on this page (see below). 2) If the content

I added a hotspot widget to a blank slide and added 6 hotspots. I also added a title and instructions as well as changing the default image for is under the hotspots.  Although I changed he padding of all possible elements using the design options (Hotspot Widge,t Title, Body, Instructions, Next and Previous), there seems to be a large space underneath the image  and hotspots that is not being used. I tried several methods to remove the space since it makes the slide long without reason and creates a scroll in a browser. Unfornuately, every method I tried to remove the space using the padding features, has failed. (Adobe Captivate 12.6)

Has anyone had issues with audio being cut off within your projects? I'm using the built-in text-to-speech option to add narration. I've had no issues testing on the timeline, when previewing the course, and when sharing for review. The issue happens when I publish to our LMS (Cornerstone OnDemand). For troubleshooting, I've added additional silence to the end of my generated text-to-speech. Anyone else experience this issue? Any other suggestions? Edit to add: I'm using Captivate 12.5 

Hi,I've created an interaction which invites the user to guess a percentage but rather than simply have them enter a number, I wanted it to have them press and hold buttons to adjust the displayed percentage up or down - I found some code on another thread which does this job perfectly. Now I'd like to add a graphical representation of the percentage level - a meter that fills up or empties according to the percentage (see below). I've created an image to represent this and need to animate it to simulate the meter filling up/emptying.  There seems to be a couple of ways of achieving this as far as I can tell - either some sort of WAAPI/CSS/jQuery animation or by triggering an advanced action as part of my existing code. I haven't been able to get the first options to work - whether that is down to my own ignorance, inability to understand or organisational restrictions I don't know. The second option of triggering and Advanced Action does work, but only to a point.&
