Is anyone having problems inserting images with Captivate 2019? When I attempt to insert an image onto a slide/stage it instead creates a new slide just after the one I am working on. Then, on that slide that was automatically created I can see the image in the slide sorter on the left, I can see it when I preview the presentation, but I cannot see it on the stage, and it is not listed in the timeline as an image. The image is set as the background of the slide…but it is invisible.Anyone else seen anything like this?

Hi, I have a Captivate published SCORM package that is inconsistently not allowing learners to launch from the LMS due to the cmi.suspend_data : G1A%24nP1A%24nP1A%24nP1A%24nP1A%24nP1A%24nP1A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%24nP0A%2

What is the best way to learn to use Captivate for someone with NO learning software development experience.  I have never used any version of Captivate.  I am finding the Introducing Captivate 2019 to be unhelpful as it focuses on new features and functionality (and assumes a base of prior knowledge with earlier versions) vs. teaching someone how to start at the very beginning and use this software.  Where can I find or get actual TRAINING? 

Hi All,In Captivate 2017, whenever I published a project that had links to an external resource (such as a Word document that would open in a new window, for example), Captivate would show me a list of all those resources when I published. (See screenshot below.) I loved this feature because it was like a checklist for me to make sure I included these files in the output folder. I don't get this list when I use Captivate 2019. Is this some option I need to turn on? Or was this removed in this version of Captivate? Thanks,Bernadette

Anyone experience this before? All of a suddent when I go to preview a responsive project (even a brand new project with nothing in it) it gives me the error below. I'm using the latest updated Captivate 2019 on a Mac running OS X Mojave.  I can publish the project just fine, but that's not really a long term solution since it takes much longer to publish, and negates the purpose of previewing, especially when you want to preview the next 5 slides. Previewing all (even in a brand project with 1 blank slide) and previewing next 5 slides gives me this error.

Was wondering if anybody else has gotten this message:The content you are trying to view is not supported in the current Document Mode of Internet Explorer. Change the Document Mode to Internet Explorer 9 Standards and try to view the content again.  To change the Document Mode, press F12, click Document Mode: , and then select Internet Explorer 9 StandardsThe LMS is Talentova. I am publishing in HTML5. It is a basic text page turner course. I have captivate 901320Thanks for any input!C

I know how to pull the project captions and closed captions to translate my slides into French, and how to pull my slide notes for translating, however, once I paste those translated slide notes in french back to the slide note section, will it speak in french using the text to audio?

I am trying to add slide audio using the Text to Speech function and I find it pretty robotic sounding. Does anyone else have this issue or am I doing something wrong?

Is there any way to hide and show slides via javascript? Thanks!

Afternoon Adobe community, I'm somewhat of an amateur when it comes to Captivate, but I have a problem with the retake quiz function. Currently, when you run the quiz and fail, the "Retake Quiz" button jumps to the slide with the first question (which is the first question in the GIFT file format). The slide before the first question there is a video you need to watch in order to take the quiz, is there a way in the Advanced Actions to do this? I don't really know where to start.  In addition to this, if a user fails the quiz, before returning to the video I want the button to direct the user to a slide that explains some of the answers before going to the video at the beginning of the quiz to retake it. I created this from the "Responsive Project" template.  If anyone has any idea how to resolve this issue I would be eternally grateful! Cheers, Martin

Hi everyone,I'm trying to export a Captivate file. It works perfectly as SCORM and also as Executable, but when I export the same file as video, the result is very weird. After a few seconds of correctly showing the content, the screen fades into white, the audio goes on, and the content sometimes show up behind a white overlay. Anyone ever experiences anything similar?Any suggestions are welcome.Thank you,Bernadett  

I am using Captivate 2019 for my projects. When I publish the html output, I could view the course loading in the html page which is touching the html header. How can I publish the page as the centre of an html page.

Hi, I have created a course in Adobe Captivate 2019. There are content as well as quiz slides in the course. I uploaded the course on LMS, for the first time the course is running fine. But when user revisit the course and trying to navigate to the quiz slide, he/she is not able to visit the quiz. The quiz slide is not coming after first attempt and the course get stuck on the first slide itself. Also when I published the course, it successfully published in HTML5 version, but when I tried to publish in SWF format it shows me an error below.  I feel that the issue is related to this error. Can anyone please help me!!!

I have a slide with term buttons that when clicked shows the definition of the terms via the state view. The user is allowed to click back and forth on the buttons as much as they want. I also have a "Continue" button at the bottom to allow the users to move on after they have finished looking at everything. My problem is that if they wait between clicking the term buttons for over the length of the timing of the slide and then click one of the term buttons, it automatically moves on to the next slide. Even though I have the "Continue" button set to pause the project until the user clicks it. (I have also tried to make the Continue button a click box that pauses the project until user clicks it. Still does not work.) Do I have to set a crazy long slide length to prevent this from happening? 

When we copy files from other system the properties (color, stroke, stroke color etc) of highlighted checkbox getting change.

Losing the advance script added to object when a file is copied from other system.

I am developing a course, which has no assessment section. Instead of Quiz option, I have selected Slide Views (all slides). But it is not showing completion in the LMS. Is there any option to create a hidden assessment slide, which could be added for course completion.

My course was kicked back from our 3rd party reviewer for 508 compliance. I would appreciate any help as I don't understand how to fix it. I am looking at the html5 files and am not seeing anything that I can work with. The reviewer stated, "cite the FRAMES"  and gave the following examples.1. course_View_page.k2?pageID=815&bgColor=&text=&background=&deficientView=0   xNo title attribute on this <FRAME>.2. course_view_navbar.k2?wbtClassID=109&moduleID=481  xNo title attribute on this <FRAME>.3. seatTimeUpdater.k2?wbtClassID=109&moduleID=481xNo title attribute on this <FRAME>. Help? Thanks,Carol

I am now getting "Swf compilation failed. Note: Please verify any of the actionscript keywords is used as user variable name." error when previewing/publishing anything.I have tried, copying and pasting each slide individualy into a new project and previewing/publishing failsI have even tried a blank project with 1 blank slide and I still get the error!I have no actionscripts or variables used in my project.Any Ideas?I'm using the ever so bugged Captivate 6 on Windows 7

I have an old project that was created back when the file type was .cp and I converted it to .cptx so I could work on it in Captivate 9. Most of the slides were locked and I was able to unlock them all except the quiz results slide.  There is nothing I can do to unlock this slide.  It has the blue lock in the upper right corner of the slide on the filmstrip.  I can click that and it disappears but when I click off the slide it comes back. In the timeline there is no "dot" next to the lock column.  I cannot highlight the slide and hit Ctrl-K. Is there another way to either unlock the slide OR delete the slide. Thank you!

I have an interactive video with 4 overlay slides that contain drag and drop interactions. Everything works great when I preview the project. When I publish the project and view it the overlay slides do not show. The video just keeps playing.

Hi everyone, I recently tried to export an 18 slide Captivate project. Exporting as HTML5, and I don't get any errors, but when opening the index.html file I am just met with a blank white screen in my broser (see attached GIF). Does anyone know why this might be the case? I've exported this file before with no problems. It is not set to responsive. https://giphy.com/gifs/THIzwTa7ulKu7eb0vj EDIT: I have fixed this issue after some extensive testing, eliminating individual slides and finally creating a new project and re-adding elements. Under Project > Skin Editor I had disabled 'Show playback controls', which is what had caused this issue. I have now turned them back on, but turned all of the individual controls off, so it is still invisible. No idea why this was causing the issue!

One of my client has lost the source file (cptx) but he still have HTML5 folder. I wanted to extract all the resources (images + voice over) but I have noticed that all the images in HTML5 are in json , Now I'm looking for a way to turn them to PNG, I'm asking for help to do this convertion.
