Closed Caption Customization

If you are using HTML5 you can do it.

You would need to make sure there is no CC button to show CP's built in CC div.

Since the CC is actually text, you can attach and event listener that is triggered when the text in the CC div changes.

So with JavaScript you first need to get a reference to the CC div and and populate the variable that is the content of your bubble $$yourVariable$$.

This script will populate the variable with the initial text, and then cycle it as the CC text changes.

window.yourVariable = $("#ccText").text();

$("#ccText").bind("DOMSubtreeModified", function(){

     window.yourVariable = $("#ccText").text();

});

There are controls for open and closed captioning in the Caption window. This Adobe video has some information: Create and customize subtitles |

Moderator: Please, this is a question about CC in Captivate, you are pointing to a video for Premiere Pro, totally different Adobe application

The default Closed Captions appear in the area provided at the bottom of the screen, and the learner has the option to show or hide this area.

If you want CC text to appear in normal callout captions you would need to manually add these captions to each slide and copy/paste the text from the Slide Notes area.  There is no option to do this automatically.
