Is there a way to have a FMR playing on a slide then when a button is pressed have the video continue playing where it was but add an image over top?I am creating a software simulator for call center software and it shows how long the agent has been on a call. I want to be able to press a button on an FMR slide so that I can add a PNG file showing what dropdown happens when they press that button but keep the FMR from the previous slide running where it left off.The goal is to show how long someone has been on the call while being able to show some of the options agents can press while on calls.The only way I can think of to do it is to just have the FMR start over on the next slide when they press the button however that starts the call timer over from :01.Any ideas?Using Windows Captivate 2019

I've created a quiz, but the "Continue" button on the final slide does not exit the presentation when the quiz is completed. There doesn't seem to be any settings that I can change for that button's execution, so I'm not sure how the learner is supposed to complete the quiz and return to the LMS.

A client wants a quiz designed with the answer immediately following each question. The intent is that, right or wrong, the learner can see what the correct answer is and why before moving on to the next question. Is that possible to set up in Presenter?

After three video recordings my webcam video is not visible any more at the corresponding slide, neither in play mode nor in preview mode. When I click at the slide at the location where the webcam recording should be, I see a transparant selection frame and a recording identification. The timeline correctly shows the webcam video presence and it is marked as visible. Restarting my laptop did not solve this issue. Still no view.Is my webcam video gone (e.g. memory issue) or hidden somewhere? Any help is greatly appreciated.

How could I manually enter a slide number in an empty box which will take me to an entered slide by using captivate 8? For example, if I enter 5 in an empty box, it should take me to slide 5.

I've built a quiz, but the "continue" button on the results slide doesn't exit the presentation. I've also tried adding a shape with a link to end the show, but that doesn't work, either. Is there a setting I'm missing that would cause the "continue" button to function? Is there another way to have the quiz close out and return to the LMS?

Hi folks, I have a SCORM file and one slide in particular skips ahead after 3 seconds or so (replicated on my LMS and on SCORM Cloud).My LMS did some checks for me and noticed the slide in question has a “durationInFrames” of 90, 90 frames at frame rate of 30 frames per second works out to 3 seconds, which is when this video is skipping. The next slide, it has a “durationInFrames” of 4485. 4485/30 = 149.5 seconds, which works out to just about 2 and a half minutes, which matches the length of that video.So:How did I set the durationInFrames value to be 90 on this one slide, when all the other slides durationInFrames value was determined by the video file I used?How can I change this value on the slide in question?Thanks in advance!

Hi All,I recently had to reinstall my copy of Adobe Captivate 2017 when I changed over to a Windows 10 machine. When people send me copies of their .cptx courses to test or fix, the unpublished slide text content is all appearing in Times New Roman, even though it was all originally authored in Calibri.  I have gone into my themes and set all my text styles to Calibri, and then imported the style file, and have run the .cptx file again, and it is still showing up as Times New Roman.Why is this happening, and how can I stop it from happening?  About 30 .cptx files were "contaminated" by this before it got caught by QA.

Hi Adobe-Community,I've created a VR project and would love to use it in HTC Vive. Does anybody know how to accomplish that?Best regards,Felix

Hello everyone, I have been working on a tight timeline on a project, so any help is very much appreciated. I have a screen with three buttons that, when clicked, will play audio. I have hidden the next button until all three audios are met. On my original publish of the course, this worked perfectly. The client has given me their edits to be made and now I am previewing and publishing the course only to find that the functionality on this slide no longer works properly. Basically, it now progresses the slide the moment the learner clicks on any one of the buttons; it plays the audio then progresses the slide. I have tried to adjust the action on the slide itself. I have worked on each button: the three content buttons and the 1 continue button. I am not sure of how to fix this. The edit I made on this slide was to adjust the timing of the buttons to appear AFTER the audio on the slide itself. I appreciate the help.

This issue appears to be intermittent. I've had some slides not playback their recording when I preview or play project, and then PLAY the recording another time. There are no objects (at least none I can find) that are pausing the project. The recording is set for the entire slide on the Options tab of Properties:And the audio plays back just fine when I click the .Wav file in the properties.The audio appears in the timeline, as I'd expect:But I get nothing when I run the course. The really weird thing is that the audio for most other slides plays back just fine. HELP!!!

With break-point modes, we do have the freedom of keeping those objects out of canvas which are not required for mobile mode and vice versa. Similarly, can we selectively have different objects in different modes using FLUID BOXES?

Sorry, not much expertise with D&D here, so this is a basic question: I'm trying to implement a drag&drop interaction in Captivate 9 that uses images, which I understand should be supported.  However, after I imported two small images as rollovers and created two drop targets using shapes, I got stuck in the drag&drop wizard because it just won't let me select the images as drop sources.  When testing this with only one image and drop target, I even get a note that at least two objects are required, so the image is not recognized as a target.  What do I need to do differently?

My English is not good.I want to see always event video's playbar not when I hover my mouse on screen.Is there any way?

Hi, how can I jump to a fixed slide in a pre-test for a correctly answered question? What is the variable?thanks oneill

I'm using Captivate 2019 11.01.266.I'm creating a VR project, but I can't find a way to hide the playbar controls like a normal project.The Skin Editor option under Project is grayed-out.Is there any way I can do this?Thank you.

Using Captivate 6 on Mac OS X.  I'm using the AlphaFromTo effect to change the alpha from 100% down to 25% in the space of 1 second.  The transition does occur, however as soon as the 1 second is over the image immediately returns to 100% alpha for the rest of the slide.  Is that the way AlphaFromTo is supposed to work?The "Alpha" and the "Set Alpha" effects don't seem to do anything at all.Would appreciate any ideas!

We are wanting to use event videos in captivate which will have their own skin so the user can pause, skip etc. through the video.We are adding the audio to the event video and this is fine, it plays well.But if we pause the video using the video skin, then audio carries on playing as if it is on the timeline.Is there anyway that the skin interacts with the timeline or someway to mute the timeline and just use the event video skin.This is really frustrating as really the audio should stop when the video is paused.ThanksPaul

Hi folks,Late last week, we started getting reports of users launching Captivate 9.0 HTML5 SCORM objects from our DOCEBO LMS. They reported that the video began playing, but the audio was not playing. If they clicked the Pause button and then restarted the lesson, the audio was there. I tested numerous lessons that have been published and had no issues in the past. All these issues were in Chrome 66. The same lessons work and play fine in Firefox and IE.I opened one of the affected lessons in Capt 9, and previewed it using the Preview HTML5 in Browser option, which opens an instance of Chrome, and the audio didn't play unless I paused and restarted the lesson.Has anyone in the Captivate community experienced this issue with Chrome 66/HTML5? According to Chrome's website, they made the change to reduce the amount of annoying auto-play ads.Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,We have recently published two Captivate projects using the same version of Captivate (2019). Both were published as SCORM 1.2 files, and after uploading them to our LMS (Totara) we run into the issues with one of them.  It appears that assets (mostly images, but also audio files) were not loading and throwing "Failure to load resources" with 404 and 500 server errors. After inspecting content with a Fiddler Trace, we saw that the assets that we are having trouble with are being called up as JSON files (see attachment of a Fiddler screenshot).  The file that was playing without any issues were pulling the assets in their original format (.png, etc.).I was wondering if anyone know why some assets get formatted one way or another, and is there a setting in Captivate that regulates this?  Also, is it possible to force the assets that currently get formatted as JSON files into their original file types?Thank you,Marina Z.

I would like to have the learner complete a series of 8 puzzles using the learning interaction and assign a score of 12.5 to each puzzle to total 100 points after the 8th puzzle completion.  Can the system do that or does it score each individual puzzle separately?Thank you,Melody

I've been asked to enlarge the Captivate playbar "a little".  As far as I know, I'm limited to the playbars provided (Captivate 2017 or 2019), but I'm wondering if there are other options I haven't come across.Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi,Is it possible to delay the appearance of the hint and incorrect caption boxes on a click box?I would like to include a text caption box on the slide to direct the learner to find the correct tool before the hint appears, but have the click box available.So far I can only see one item in the timeline for the click box which includes the timing for the hint and incorrect captions. I'm using Captivate 8.Thank youKaren

Hello,Our corporate bundle is having some issues with HTML5 loading in Adobe Captivate 2017.  Any known issue with the HTML5 quiz questions partially loading through VPN?Thank you

Hi,Using most up to date Captivate 9.I've been taking advantage of the theme function. Its working nicely. However, I'm noticing when I start a new project and apply the one them I've created, many styles are duplicated and all have version numbers suffixed like _1 or _1_2. The weird thing is - I never named any of these styles with a version number.I am suspicious these are caused by making a slight change to an object, like bolding one word, and that style is prefixed with a +. Then saving the theme and applying the them to the next project. I'm really not sure though, just a suspicion. Using one style or the other seems to not make a difference, but it is a bit frustrating. If this continues I'll have a very large list of styles. Does anyone have an answer to how this happened in my styles/theme and how I can prevent? Good chance I did something wrong, but I want to start preventing it.
