Importing Captivate video into Articulate

Hi,

I am facing this issue while importing a Captivate video into Articulate. The video seems to run just fine, but without the pauses/roll-over interactions that I had provided in the file. Tried importing as HTML/swf format, but that isn't playing either. Is it possible to import the video with all the interactions that I had given? Any help with this would be appreciated.

Thanks

You can link a Storyline webobject to published Captivate content. See an example here.

That’s a tricky one! Articulate doesn’t natively support Captivate’s interactive elements like rollovers and pauses when importing. One workaround could be to export the Captivate project as an MP4 (without interactions), then recreate the rollovers and pauses manually in Storyline using triggers and layers. Another option is to embed the Captivate file as a web object, but compatibility can be hit or miss.

A video is by definition passive, will lose all interactivity. It looks like you can only import a video, not a full interacitve Captivate published movie. Reason is probably the different way of handling HTML. Maybe you should post this question in the Articulate community. I can embed an interactive published HTML poject in an iFrame as you can see in several of my blog posts. It has to be published somewhere of course. Here is one example:
