Question

Captivate 2019 - Preview Project - Cannot skip through preview due to audio synching

Greetings!

I feel like I am asking for something special since Captivate seems to have so many issues performing its basic features, but here goes:

 

I made a change to the very end of my project, which contains slides, narration, and music. 

I would like to only be able to watch the end section, however when I click on Preview Project (or the other options) I cannot skip to the end part without the audio repeating from the very beginning or stopping all together.

 

Is it possible to skip through a project preview or am I forced to watch the entire project?

 

On a side note, I have also tried watching just the slide in question, but the audio will not play.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

BK

It would be great to know if this is a responsive or a non-responsive project. If it is a non-responsive project, the only really valid Preview method is F11, Preview HTML in Browser. To be able to skip quickly to the wanted slides I would suggest to activate temporarily the Table of Content, with full navigation allowed.

 

As for the audio: it looks like Captivate sees your audio as one big project audio clip, which needs to be loaded fully on the slide with the first audio. That worked great for SWF output sometimes but is a spell breaker for HTML output. Prefer individual audio clips, one per slide and leave a small gap before and after the audio timeline:

Greetings!

Thanks for the speedy reply. Yes, it is not responsive. The only interaction is the user hitting "Play".

 

I have enabled T.O.C, but am not seeing the option for Full Navigation?

Check in the Settings for the TOC to have 'Enable navigation' checked, and 'Navigate Visited Slides only' unchecked.  That is what I mean by full navigation.
