Is it possible to have the Closed Captioning 'bar' below a slide, or even to the side of a slide? Thus not blocking any information on the slide with CC.

Correct answer RodWard

By default Captivate offers no options for positioning the CC area.

If it would block slide content, you should consider moving essential content higher on the slide.

Thanks!

I see that your solution is the only one.

But once you go into full slide software simulations, the e.g. "Windows Taskbar" is overlapped by the CC 'bar', hence my question. It would have been nice if you could move the CC around a little.

Thanks again!

It's pretty easy to move the CC in html5, just a little CSS. For swf you need a widget, we can create one for you if you'd like.

CSS

#cc{

top:505px;

background-color:rgba(15, 50, 66, 0.5);

}

#ccClose{

display:none

}

As Rod suggests, you should move your content up. In our projects, we rescale them, adding about 45 pixels to the bottom of the screen, moving the existing content up. This creates a "footer" that then contains the closed captioning when it's turned on.
