I'm working on a project that contains a few videos. The client wants the playbar for the videos, but without the scrubbing option. As there is no such functionality in Captivate 2019, I used a code (given below) that I found online. For the shorter videos, this code is successful in disabling the scrub feature. However for the longer videos, the scrubbing suddenly pops up in the middle of the video. Is there any other way to disable the scrub feature? // hide the slider thumbnailvar thumbEl=document.getElementsByClassName('playbarSliderThumb')[0]thumbEl.style.display='none'// disable drag and click slider navigationif (!cp.playbar.mainMovie._jumpToFrame) {cp.playbar.mainMovie._jumpToFrame =cp.playbar.mainMovie.jumpToFramecp.playbar.mainMovie.jumpToFrame = function(a) {var stack = new Error().stackvar callerIsNotPlaybar =stack.indexOf('HTMLCanvasElement.moveSlider') == -1&& stack.indexOf('PlayBarSlider.moveSlider') == -1if (callerIsNotPlaybar)cp.playbar.mainMovie._jum

Wanted to understand if we can create a SCROM course, give it to the client and have it auto expire after a specific period of time.

Just got a new computer and installed Captivate 8 and opened one of my projects. The workspace is larger than my screen. I cannot access the properties tab or the library tab. The exit button and minimize button are not visible. How do I resize the window so I see the whole workspace. I've got the view magnification set to best fit and I've tried all of the others as well.

I have created an audio player using HTML5 and javascript. This is embedded as an HTML5 animation. There is a play/pause button and a stop button. This player is located on a smartshape that is hidden. When a user clicks a link, the smartshape appears and they are free to play/pause or stop the audio. My dilemma is when they close the smartshape, is there a way to to stop the audio? The second question is if I have more than one audio embedded, is there a way to stop one player when the second starts? I've attached a screenshot of the smartshape with the player. The HTML5animation is actually a zip folder containing an HTML page, CSS, the javascript code, images of the bottons and an mp3.

Can one pan and zoom in on an image much like Prezi and Articulate Storylines zoom region tool? I know there is the zoom area, but it seems this only zooms "out" of a certain part of the image and not "in" to the image itself? I wanting to zoom into the image much like the pan and zoom for the videos. Thanks

Are there any differences in terms of functionality between a full Presenter license and a Student/Teacher license? Thanks.

Hi everyone I have a lot of bookmarks in my Project (on Slides with mp4 or on CPVC Slides,...).I used option "Jump to bookmark" - everything works perfect.But wenn I create an advanced action with "Jump to bookmark", the action looks like fine, but after clicking "OK" turned it to "Continue" and of course the action doesn't works.  Thank you for any help!    

I have a SCORM 1.2 training that has a lot of branching, but on the LMS the score reported by the LMS is hard to get over 40% even though I know I should be at 100% About my training:It actually has no quiz. I have multiple objects on each slide with Actions - Reporting - Include in quiz - 1 Point - Add to Total. On a single slide I may have 4 objects reporting that change the state of an object on the same slide. I have other objects reporting that have an action "Jump to slide."This means that a single slide may have 4 or 5 objects a user will need to click for a passing grade. It is setup more as a completion than a quiz. In the LMS I will go through the training and click everything and still only get a score of 40% but sometimes it might be 38%. Because of the branching, I may not always click on objects in the same order each time. I have the LMS set to "Send Data On Every Slide." Does this mean that if I click on an object with an action "Jump to slide,"  it

Hi all,I've been using Captivate now for the last few years, and in all that time I still haven't mastered importing videos into my projects. I make all my videos from scratch using Final Cut Pro, but when I import them into a project they can be very unreliable, in particular when using them on mobile devices. I'm wondering whether using Adobe Media Server could be the solution to my problem. The only thing is I've being playing around with it for the last few days and I don't have a clue how to use it!!So what I want to know is:1. Does this sound like a possible solution to my problem with playing videos in Captivate? 2. What is the difference between using AMS to stream videos in a Captivate Project in comparison to simply uploading the MP4?3. Where can I find a step by step guide as to how I can achieve all this. I've tried following the instructions on the AMS support page but it really is getting me no where!Thanks in advance,Diarmuid

Hello, I'm using Captivate 2019. When I'm published a course for my client, there is no problem to publish it with the LMS (Scorm 1.2). The problem is now, that, when the user close the course before answering the questions at the end, the LMS anyway shows the course in the LMS as „done“. Naturally we want, that the course will be show as still open until all the questions in quiz at the end will be done and also all slides will be seen by the user. Naturally I choose the settings in the selection that the course will be finished when all questions be answered and also all slides will be seen. What’s wrong?? I can’t find the mistake … 

I think I need to do this with advanced actions/variables and not use the inherent captivate quiz slides, but just for giggles, I'll pose this to see if anyone has any thoughts. I'm not too deep so I can start over. I have a big project. 10 sections. Each section concludes with a 3 question quiz.  Nothing is scored, or sent to an LMS.  It's a study tool. I do have advanced actions/variables setup to show how many they got right ont he final question slide of each section I want the inhernet quiz of captivate to reset after they complete a section. There's no ending quiz results slide, so the retake button is out.  I used a little javascript to reset $$cpQuizInfoAttempts$$ to 0, but that didn't work. It does not look as if the quiz can be reset without sending a user to the Quiz results slide.

Hi,This is my first Captivate recording.  I uploaded a power point and then recorded the narrative for each slide.  The beginning and end of each slide has approximately 1-2 seconds lead/lag.  When I published to mp4, I now have large lags between some of the slides (not all).  Some of the lags are 2 minutes.  I don't know what to do to resolve this.Thank you.

I have purchased and downloaded Adobe Captivate on my work computer, how do I download on my home computer?

We have a project that has a playbar that appears on every slide except it has disappeared from the last content slide.  It isn't a question slide.  All the other slides in the project show the slidebar. 

Hello,I am using Captivate 2019. When I publish a project to HTML that contains event videos, I have the perfect video skin (just the right buttons for controling the video that I want), but it auto hides when the video plays. So the user has to move the mouse to the bottom to see the controls. Is there anyway to diable auto hide on the skin contols. It works fine in preview and EXE, the skin and buttons stay visable, this is only happening when publishing to HTML which is a must for me.  Thanks in advance. Brian

It has a steep learning curve – meaning, it will take some time to figure out how to use it effectively.Those who have used different tools feel that Adobe Captivate is not as intuitive as a lot of other eLearning authoring tools.

I worked on a project which has audio attached to some layers, so when the slide plays, it stops when it reaches a button, the audio starts, when the button is clicked, the audio stops and the slide continues. It works on desktop, but when tested on Android, the audio attached to those layers won't work as expected, sometimes it won't let me click the button until the audio finishes, and sometimes the audio won't start until I click the button, or it won't stop and keep on playing when the next audio starts, very strange and random behaviour. I've tested with advanced actions, and got the same result.I found out it will only work right if I place an animation effect on the layer which has the audio attached. This has been my only workaround and it works when tested on Andorid / iOSAm I doing anything wrong or is this another bug for version 2019 (11.5.1.499)? Should I stick to this workaround?

I developed a 32 hour course with captivate years ago and updated it in captivate 2019.  It is flash based and now that flash is finished, how do I update the existing courses to html with the least amount of pain?

Hello everyone! We are new captivate users but experienced connect users. We needed captivate for it's promise of "easy" and "seamless" integration with Connect. (We are using the Meeting hosted licensing of Connect). And before anyone asks, yes, I need to use a Captivate quiz inside of Connect. It's the right tool for my mission -- and Adobe touts the integration.Bottom line up front: Captivate Quiz works properly onscreen inside Connect but does not report results to "internal server" via Connect, but does report via browser (albeit with an error.)Specifics:Step 1. We have no problem creating a quiz in Captivate. Works great.Step 2. Upload that quiz to Adobe connect via the "Publish to Adobe Connect". Works great. Select both SWF and HTML5 buttons on the output format. Log into our Connect, select the content folder, done. Add that file to a share pod.. Perfect.Step 3. Ok, now how do I view? Using the Report function, well that doesn't work.. ah.. probably because I'm using the meeti
