Question

Captivate Prime Interactive Video does not work

Uploading Captivate files is tricky, the first few times I did it, it said invalid file type.

I fixed that by loading much smaller files via the upload to prime link in captivate 9.

The problem is that if you have a video and you want to have interactive  components, it appears that you can't because the output is HTML5, which doesn't support common things like the table of contents.

Are there plans to fix this? Or are there ways I can upload interactive content with videos to Prime?

Thanks!

Jeremy

Hello Jeremy,

Issue-1:

Uploading large files from Captivate to Prime using inbuilt PublishToPrime feature depends on the network upload speed. If the speed is slow (or the files are large), upload may fail.
We are working on this and would fix it in Captivate 9 soon.

As an easy workaround, for now you can publish the files on your desktop and then upload to Captivate Prime from browser.

Issue-2:

I did not understand the problem you have mentioned. Can you please elaborate. If you are referring to the the Captivate's Table of Contents (TOC), then Prime supports it. If the content is published from Captivate 9, then the TOC will be displayed in Prime playbar. (Please look for a TOC button on the bottom left of Prime playbar). If it is a scorm/aicc file published from Captivate 8 or lower, then Prime shows Captivate playbar as it is.

Let us know if you have any other issues which we could not understand. Please elaborate.

Thank you.

Is Captivate Prime transcoding the video again upon Pulbish to Prime from within Captivate 9?

What are the exact video specs for Captivate 9?

Everything: size, codec or compression type, fps, key framing, data rate, and optimzed for, i.e. streaming, downloading, plus audio sample rate and sample size?

    Hi Patrick,

    Video files uploaded directly into Prime are transcoded to optimize performance across various download speeds and screen sizes. Prime streams those videos directly based on the network availability and screen size of the receiving viewer application. I'll check with engineering to see if they can provide some more detail for you regarding any transcoding that is done by Prime for video content embedded into a Captivate file.
