Captivate doesn't play animation beyond 2 seconds. Both in preview and published content. As such I've kept my animations within 2 seconds. I've looked it up all over and I can't find a solution. I do need to play beyond 2 seconds, as a sequence. Anyone facing this same issue?

    I am not a native English speaker, or perhaps you start using Captivate and do not know the 'slang' yet. What do you mean by 'animation'? To me that is either a SWF or a HTML5 animation that you insert using the Media button in Captivate 8 (I don't see which version you are using). But I suspect you mean something different. Can you please post a screenshot of the timeline of that slide, and try to explain what 'animation' means to you? If you are talking about the slide playing, maybe you have an interactive object that is pausing the slide. Mostly that happens at 1.5secs by default but could have been changed.

    Thanks very much for replying. It's not an animation as I later found out, but a sequence, where objects will appear at a certain timing. My objects were not appearing after 2secs even after I've set all objects on screen to more than 3secs (default). I have, however, created a new file and transferred the objects over and they all seemed to work!
