Bookmarking in Captivate 9

Hi All,

I searched the forums a bit and didn't quite find what I was looking for, so here goes:

My videos in captivate pack a lot of content. I recently got a suggestion from one of my viewers to the effect of providing some kind of bookmarking feature where users can scan an available list of book marks of a said video to access the part of the video that discusses the content they are most interested in learning about.

Let's say my video covers x, y, and z topics in that order. My viewer wants to access the z topic without having to watch x and y first (or have to go searching for it). Is there a mechanism in Captivate which can assist with this?

Thank you very much!

    No there is no 'mechanism" to do this in Captivate per se.  But there are a couple of ways to achieve something similar.

    If your videos are inserted as Slide videos, then they are locked to the framerate of the overall project.  So you could potentially work out what the frame number was for each break and then store this in a user variable that was used when using Advanced Actions with the System Variable cpCmndGotoFrameAndResume.

    However, that would be a bit complex for you.

    My other suggestion is to break your videos in to pieces and put them on separate slides.  Then you just need to jump to those slides.
