Questions

I was told by a collegue that the Captivate trial has been extended to 90 days due to Covid19. Is this true? I just started to sign up for a trial and I only saw a 30-day option. I am trying to sign up in Canada, perhaps it's a different situation in the US?

I've created a multi row HDR Panorama that I really like and want to keep. My problem occurs when I select Merge and I get the error message " Merge Error, unable to merge ".

Hi.Let's say I want to create a quick tutorial on how to register in an app/website. It should consist of a couple of screens with a mouse cursor moving, as well as a small popup window with additional information here and there.This seems to be a pretty good job for Adobe Animate, right? I just paste the screenshots there, use an animation tween for the cursor and give it some easing so that it's smoother, show every now and then the popup with the extra information, and that's it.Is there a good reason to use Captivate for this task instead? I don't really want to record the registration process directly as a video, as I seem to have more control if I compose this manually.Thank you for any advice

I am creating a project in Captivate 2019 (64bit). This is being built on a stand-alone system i.e. it is not connected to the internet for security reasons. For these same reasons, I cannot record audio as I cannot attach a microphone. I can capture audio-only narrative in my Captivate Draft which is connected to my personal Adobe account through the internet. I do not have a personal subscription to Captivate.   With the project I am building on the stand-alone work computer, I cannot drop the audio from this personal account directly into the project. Is there another way of retrieving the audio captured on Captivate Draft slides saved to the Adobe account so it can be saved to CD / DVD for transfer to the project?   

Good mornig - Are any of the 2019 templates created with 508 compliance in mind?  I was wondering about using branching in a project where the learner would choose a path with less interactivity.  I would still try to keep the experience equal as much as possible.  thanks,Dianne

I am creating a VR course for my company. In that context I would like to take colleagues from personalised Hotspot to personalised Hotspot. I would like the visited or coming Hotspots to be subdued and just the next one in full size and colours. Is that possible and, if so, how can I do that?Thanks.Pascal

Just got Captivate 11 update 11.5.0.476, with the new Vimeo option in Interactive Video. I've tried a handful of Vimeo files, and the same thing happens. It gets to 50% when loading, then it hangs up. I'm forced to cancel to get out of it, and get a message "Video encountered an internal error."I know the videos are good. We've used them in many other places.Any ideas?

I have a tutuorial on software and I have text entry boxes where they have to type things in. How do I make the slide stop until they enter the text? I have it validated already but if they don't do anything the slide just moves on. 

Why is captive not available to download it does not show up, I have the CC All Apps Plan?!

Hello! I have already watched the videos and seen the webpage for how to insert a web object into adobe captivate. However, no matter what I try, I cannot get the actual object to appear once I play my project. It appears in the filmstrip view though, and in the slide previews. Even using http://google.com does not work, so I know that the problem is not in the webpage itself. Are there any ideas or help someone can please provide? I appreciate the help,Zachary

I have a course that I only want the Playbar navigation controls to appear on the 3 slides that have videos.  This will give the learner the ability to play, pause, and rewind the video. I do not want it on for any other slides, as the course has it's own navigation buttons. How do I have the playbar only appear on the slides containing video? Thanks,Larry

Does the current version of Captivate still have the ability to create interactive PDFs?Does Captivate use Flash to create the interactive PDFs?What will happen to the feature to create interactive PDFs after flash support goes away later this year?Will we have this capability after flash support stops?

Hi!Is there any way to avoid Captivate to convert ppt slides to swf? I really need to import several ppt presentations.I found a very stupid way to get around this problem that is adding a smartshape in every slide and merge it with the background. This is no way to work... I know! Help!Thank you!Inês Costa

How can I set a font for Runtime Dialog box?Apparently the setting in Object Style Manager is ignored for some obscure reason...As you can see: Arial is selected, the change applied, yet both preview and real box still use Times New Roman. Why?//UPDATE: some fonts are accepted by Captivate... for example Andalus, Georgia, Verdana... But not Arial, Courier New nor Trebuchet.

Hi I created some code a few months back which allowed a quiz at the end of the learning to be completed upto 3 times. This has suddenly stopped working. I have not changed anything. I initially thought it was the LMS but it will not work in preview mode either. This is the code the issue is it will allow the user to fail the test 2 times (instead of the expected 3) and just locks up on the screen displayed. Any help would be apprechiated  

Hi.I work for a company, who want to transfer theire lizenz to me. I think it's legal to tranfer a lizenz.!?What informations do I need. I think, the company has to deinstall Captivate and gave me the lizenz code?   Thanks!

So when I preview my slide or when I'm working on it, it looks like the top photo (which is the way I want it to look). However, when I play the project, it looks like the second photo, which I DONT want because everything is too small, my shadows disappeared and the shade of green even changed. I don't know what I did to make this change - can anyone help me? 

Hello, can I use the advanced actions and system variables in order to set up a report of the quiz results sent via e-mail? Or is there another way to to this? We don't have an LMS yet and would like to provide a knowledge check and test for clients after they've attended one of our webinars.  Thanks a lot in advance, Nina

Hi everyone,I come desperately to you because no one from the Adobe team can answer me.  I have a PSD file containing workplans. I want to import these workplans into Captivate. When importing, all my workplans come on one slide. I would like to have one slide per workplan, how do I do it?Thank you so much in advance,

Please excuse my ignorance, I am new to Captivate. I am one of those dinosaurs who previously worked only in Adobe Indesign converted to SWF or imported to Adobe Flash Pro. As we all know, SWF is on the way out and Adobe Animate doesn't really serve my purposes. I create educational interactive ebooks previously transferring them to my target market via a hard copy edition (exclusively built in InDesign coverted to PDF) and a computer standalone interactive version (exclusively built in InDesign converted to a SWF projector).I've been learning Captivate for the last month, via Linkedin/Lynda.com, and it serves all my interactive needs, even better than InDesign! However I have one outstanding issue, it's the format of the slides in a Captivate project. Adobe Captivate seems to exclusively work in horizontal formatted slides and not vertical formatted slides. Is there anyway that I can change the slides to a vertical format, preferentially A4 measurements.At present, although I have dev

We have a few hundred courses we publish for customers at different times. But randomly, as of a few weeks ago, there are a few that are not working when we test them on SCORM Cloud. We get a CP icon on the screen instead of the course. The settings seem the same as the ones that publish and show up correctly. Any ideas on what this might be related to?   

captivate 19 11.5.1.499 I have 3 TEBs on one slide, each with user validation, and show button deselected. On success I say increment a variable by 1 (with continue playing the project deselected and shortcut to none). I have a custom submit button with an action saying if all are true, show correct text and next button, else hide (these elements Which are hidden on stage)My problem is that the TEBs don't seem to be retaining any information, or maybe the success is not incrementing the variable assigned to each TEB (i made 3 unique). I did it this way to avoid an action on enter of slide which increments the variables with the correct entry in the TEBs. Is my strategy wrong?

Hi Folks, I am trying to publish my HTML (unresponsive) version of our e-learning website which has a Drag and Drop interaction. The issue is whenever we switch it to landscape mode, the Drag and Drop interaction doesn't work. Help! Regards,V

Does anyone know if a screen reader reads text or other items if they are OFF the stage/.

I am on a team that produces course material for the internal LMS. Over the course of three years, our company has changed hands twice. Each new sale introduces new branding since we are now a new entity. We produce hundreds of LMS courses for a wide array of software tools. Each time we re-brand, we need to go back into literally hundreds of Captivate projects and swap out the branding elements, change styles to the new standards, and change colors on thousands of slides. One of the most time consuming tasks is involved with changing and updating slide notes. I was intrigued by the Speech Management dialogue window. In this window you can view all the slides notes for the entire project. However, this is the only plus for my workflow. I can't resize the window, and the text styling tools are missing. For my workflow, I need to be able to select all the TTS notes and style them in one operation. I also need to remove bold from the properties of closed captions, if present. If
