Questions

Hi there,I try to make a demo video of the program auto desk Maya and some important input is with F for focus or 1, 2 and 3 to smooth mesh. unfortunately captivate does not capture these key strokes. It only captures "shift", "alt", "Ctrl" and the Function keys. I would also need to capture Left and right mouse click and "hold&drag" or make the window of the mouse "hold&drag" function visible in the recording.how can i set the settings that it will capture alphanumeric input as well as mouse input  ?help is greatly appreciatedcheersPhil

Hi,I try to create a image button with a hover state. I can upload one image button for the Normal state but a second image for the Hover state won't work?Anyone knows the solution or is this just another bug?

Adobe Captivate Version 11.0.1 HTML5 output seems to put a quotation mark in the metadata (aka HEAD) section for no apparent reason.  Will removing this have any unexpected side effects?Given my experience with Captivate thus far, I assume this is a bug, but it's also possible I'm using it wrong.

I just bought Captivate 6.  I have some existing completed training videos that were recorded in Camtasia.  They have no quizzing.  I would like to import the video into Captivate and insert quiz slides throughout.  For example, the end user will watch the first minute of the video.  Then the video stops and the user is presented with a Question slide.  The user completes that quiz and the video resumes.  the video stops at the next Question slide.I can't figure out how to insert the Question slides in the middle of the video.   I have tried different search phrases in the forum search but can't seem to find this exact topic.  am I asking for functionality that doesn't exist?

Cp 7 - I'm using a drag and drop and am triggering audio to start when the user passes/fails the interaction. How can I add closed captioning to this audio as it's not on the timeline?Thanks,Angela

Hello, I registered for Adobe Captivate Specialist Program a while back before I saw the computer specifications for the 2019 release. Now, I find myself in a bind because I do not have 16RAM (I have only 4). I can buy a laptop that has 8RAM but anything with 16 (and the other requirenents) is just out of price range right now. Does anybody know if I'll still be able to run it without the memory? I mean, if I stay away from VR will i be ok? Can some of the learning content for the certificate program be completed in a previous version of captivate so I'm not just sitting on my hands in the meantime? Thanks!

The desired action:I want the learners to select one of 4 avatars from the beginning of a module and have that avatar to display for a number of slides throughout the project.What I Tried:Created an avatar variable that changes based on the avatar that the learner selects.Created an object placeholder named 'Avatar_Placeholder.'Created an advanced action titled 'Change_Avatar_State' so that if varaible = X (for example), then change the state of Avatar_Placeholder to X.Copied and pasted the Avatar_Placeholder onto the desired slides.Added the advanced action, Change_Avatar_State to the desired slides.The Problem:The name of the object placeholder, Avatar_Placeholder, changes on each slide onto which it was pasted, meaning that I now need to go in and change the target placeholder in the advanced action for each decision for each slide. The question:Is there a way to do this without having to go into the advanced action for each slide and changing the target placeholder?

Can anyone tell me what the Bookmark and Overlay timeline layers do in Captivate 2019?Thanks

Hi, I have created a matching questions slide in Captivate 2019. However despite me checking the shuffle box under quiz, column one is not shuffling when I play a preview.Any ideas what I am doing wrong. 

Hi,I have just installed Captivate 2017 on a MacBook running macOS Sierra. When starting up, after selecting "New" then "Responsive Project" or "Blank Project", a window with "Loading Themes" or "Creating Objects" briefly appears and nothing happens.Thanks for any suggestions.Scott

Hi I'm using Captivate 9 and have recently run into a bug or something.I've created a basic slide to allow me to test some Javascript. I have the Javascript working as it should, assigned to a smart shape button.I wanted to add the code to a conditional action but when I copy and paste the Javascript in the script window inside a conditional action and select ok, then re-open the script window all the code has disappeared.It's not a massive amount, but it would be quite tedious to type from scratch. I tried typing in a bit of code and closing the script window and then re-opening it and the typed code stays in. It seems if you paste code into the script window within a conditional action it doesn't stay there.This seems really bizarre. Has anyone else had any similar experiences?

Presenter 11.1's shot up in price, and now it looks like it does not include Adobe Video Express 2017 along with it, as it did before. You now have to buy that outright?Am I right? Just when you thought you'd figured out a solution...Imogen

Bonjour,j'enregistre mes cours avec Adobe Presenter en direct d'un cours en présentiel. Si je reviens 1 ou 2 diapos en arrière pour remontrer du contenu, est-ce que la synchronisation est maintenue?Merci beaucoup.

I am using Captivate 9.0.1.320. When I select the Submit button and click the "Shortcut:" radio button, I set it as the Enter key. But when I click off the slide and come back, the shortcut change I made is no longer there. It's like it won't take any shortcut key on a Submit button. Anyone else run into this? It's happening on all question types. I even tried setting a shortcut in the Slide Master for a matching question - still doesn't work.

I recently updated the Captivate 2017 and I'm running into the issue of not finding the exported images and gifs in the exported files. Anyone know what happened to them?I'm trying to make some javascript code to play with the images. They used to export to the assets/htmlimages folder with the same names I gave them and now they're not there anymore. It's just captivate icons.

Today is my last day of my current contract. I recently created a monster project that includes at least 800 advanced interactions and 10s of variables. (I'm sure Lilybiri would have been able to shrink that number way down but the project kept mutating.) My employer wants a spreadsheet so that they can view and sort them any way they wish. I showed them the F9 function but they're old school and want everything in excel. Is there a way to do this? Time is of the essence so I appreciate any help any of y'all can provide!

I need to know how to export quiz questions from Captivate.    I can't believe that there isn't a way to do this.

I was suddenly no longer able to preview my course in HTML5, but it still worked in SWF.  The course would just freeze on the loading spinner. After going through an exhaustive process to discover the source of the problem (which included hiding/showing, copy/paste slides, etc.) I discovered that three slides that were imports from a PPT were no longer associated with the PPT embedded resource, one of which was slide #1 - hence the freeze on load.  The menu still provided access to PowerPoint functionality, but I did not discover the error message until I tried to find the PPT in the library...which Captivate 2019 could not do.  I ended up recreating the slides, but would have preferred to simply re-associate the slides with the source PPT.  How can this be done?  Thanks

The software I want to create the demo and assessment for is on a different computer, and I can't get them on the same computer.The software is located on a computer with internet access.  Would using "go to my pc" or other remote access software work?It's the only way I can think of to have both programs on one computer.I'm a newbie, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dear community,We encounter an strange issue when publishing Captivate module in HTML5. Our Captivate files include  regular audio files and audio "smartshapes" ; we noticed that the problem happens with the smartshapes in IE.When testing it in Chrome, the module perfectly works from the beginning to the end ; but when testing it in IE, the audio (from smartshapes) stops after a few seconds, then the next audio smartshapes begins and again, stops after a few seconds, and it is the same with all the smartshapes.  Nonetheless, we've checked the native Captivate file and the smartshapes are correctly placed in the timeline, no one is placed in conflict with another. Has anyone encountered the same issue and found a solution for that ?Many thanks for your help,Benedicte

I have a Captivate 8 project where I have several text input fields, and I've made them go to the next slide.  I took the "Submit" button for the text entry, made it invisible, put it in the bottom corner, and assigned it a TAB shortcut key to advance to the next slide.  This works great when I publish to SWF, but doesn't work at all when publishing to HTML5.Does HTML5 have issues with shortcut keys assigned to buttons?  Do I need to do something on my end?Thanks
