Captivate Timeline and VTML Pause?

Hi all,

How should I count the Adobe Captivate 8's timeline in comparison to the VTML pause time?

Say I want the TTS to pause from 01:03 to 0.1:15. How do I calculate that in VTML?

Thanks

Assuming a 30fps publish and a 12 second delay, then 360 frames?

But I'm not up on VTML either. Wouldn't the delay be in seconds, respective to the timeline?

I assume not or you wouldn't be asking

Erik, it is NOT a cptx-project but a CPVC project where the default framerate is 15fps.

VTML tag for pause is in milliseconds. This means a 12 second delay would be 12000 milliseconds, and the tag should be:

<vtml_pause time=”12000″/>

I cannot help you, never use VTML but for the sake of those who want to reply: this is a CPVC, not a CPTX file. Default setting when published is at 15FPS (whereas a cptx file is published at 30fps).
