Questions

I am using the new version of Adobe Captivate and have an issue with getting a consistent look and feel with my buttons. I am trying to get a similar look and feel to the buttons in the below screenshot. The main reason I need the rest of the training to mirror this page is because the ability to force users to go through each step is tied to the buttons shown here, not the buttons in the play bar. However, when I use other slide templates—like the one below—the button is at the top of the screen, and I can't change the position. If the button locations are always changing, that's a problem for usability. Consistency is important from a design perspective and to make it user-friendly.Then I thought I'd try to insert an interactive button block below the main block, but there are two issues with this approach. 1) The most important being there is only one design style for the button!! The buttons with circles and arrows are not an option on this page (see below). 2) If the content

I added a hotspot widget to a blank slide and added 6 hotspots. I also added a title and instructions as well as changing the default image for is under the hotspots.  Although I changed he padding of all possible elements using the design options (Hotspot Widge,t Title, Body, Instructions, Next and Previous), there seems to be a large space underneath the image  and hotspots that is not being used. I tried several methods to remove the space since it makes the slide long without reason and creates a scroll in a browser. Unfornuately, every method I tried to remove the space using the padding features, has failed. (Adobe Captivate 12.6)

Has anyone had issues with audio being cut off within your projects? I'm using the built-in text-to-speech option to add narration. I've had no issues testing on the timeline, when previewing the course, and when sharing for review. The issue happens when I publish to our LMS (Cornerstone OnDemand). For troubleshooting, I've added additional silence to the end of my generated text-to-speech. Anyone else experience this issue? Any other suggestions? Edit to add: I'm using Captivate 12.5 

Hi,I've created an interaction which invites the user to guess a percentage but rather than simply have them enter a number, I wanted it to have them press and hold buttons to adjust the displayed percentage up or down - I found some code on another thread which does this job perfectly. Now I'd like to add a graphical representation of the percentage level - a meter that fills up or empties according to the percentage (see below). I've created an image to represent this and need to animate it to simulate the meter filling up/emptying.  There seems to be a couple of ways of achieving this as far as I can tell - either some sort of WAAPI/CSS/jQuery animation or by triggering an advanced action as part of my existing code. I haven't been able to get the first options to work - whether that is down to my own ignorance, inability to understand or organisational restrictions I don't know. The second option of triggering and Advanced Action does work, but only to a point.&

Why does Captivate 12.6 crash and corrupt the file every time I try to customize the Click-to-Reveal widget on Mac OS?

I am creating demonstration videos with Captivate for a client who are implementing new time management and reporting software. They want individuals to be able to go through the training alone on a computer monitor, and also want an instructor to be able to show the training on a big screen at the front of a classroom / auditorium. I have completed a large 130 screen video and initial feedback says the video (asset) quality needs to be better.1. How can I maximize the quality of a demonstration VIDEO?2. If I publish to HTML instead of video, will this improve the quality?3. Does the way I save the screen images affect the video quality? (Should I re-save them to bmp or something else. I saved them as jpg)Any suggections would be tremendosuly appreciated.

I'm attempting to make a simple recording like i had done with captivate previously. I run through my settings ensure when i record im in demo mode and yet still everytime it makes my video in to slide based on clicking. Can you no longer make single videos in captivate cause ive spent over an hour plus looking and there isnt much to look at to determine where the issue is but i've found nothing. TL:DR how can i make just a single video and not a bunch of slides while recording

Hallo, wie gesagt, Captivate 12.6 stürzt ab sobald ich gewisse Folien öffne. Manche Folien gehen, andee wiederrum nicht. Inhaltlich sind Sie immer gleich aufgebaut. Die Abstürze sind also Inhalts-unabhängig

I had envisioned creating my content elsewhere and importing it into Cp 12 as a video, and intersperse quizzes, interactive elements, etc) Some users (Stagprime, Liltbili) are advising that as much as possible I should consider creating the content within Cp 12.  So I am exploring the option of creating content within Cp. A problem is that I can't create very much on the Cp slides, as I can in Keynote or PPTX. (Shapes, PNGs, etc). This is because Cp seems so very limited in what it can do as a slide-making program. So then I thought about creating the visuals I want elsewhere and importing them into Cp in a "1-PNG-per-Cp-Slide" sort of way. Trouble is, there is no way to have a Cp 12 slide be just one image--only images plus text, and only multiple images, at that. I understand we can "uncheck" the texr/title boxes, but I cannot find a way to get just one image on a slide, and to also have that image take up most of teh screen real estate in all three screen sc

Hi all - it's a long shot but I have a legacy Captivate project from 2008 that I would really benefit from converting into a usable modern format. Sadly it seems the new version can't open the old '.cs' format files.  Is there any way that anyone knows of converting these old files into something usable? Alternatively, because I have the flash output, is there any way of emulating their display in something that can handle the html output the way the old Flash plugin used to?

I’ve created a curved text using Text on Path and skewed it for the effect I want. But I’m struggling to add a shadow that follows the same angle and shape.How can I create a shadow that aligns properly with the text style?

Storyline can connect to Articulate's web-authoring tool "Rise" which allows multiple sources of information to live inside one interactive course page. Does Captivate have this capability with a web-authoring tool?I'm blown away at how cool Articulate Rise is, and Storyline files (along with a bunch of other file types) can be dragged and dropped into a single page, allowing the learner to really explore a topic without having to click through constantly. Does Captivate have the ability to connect with a tool like this? 

So https://www.adobe.com/products/captivate/buying-guide.html  includes an Education discount:  In fact I was in contact with a taddy @adobe.com who stated: " Thank you for connecting with us. We do provide educational discounts, but it’s only with our VIP subscription, please find the information below:" USD $275.88/yearVIP subscription:  It will be an annual subscription with a yearly recurring renewal cost. With the admin console, many licenses can be managed, assigned, or reassigned easily. Access to upgrades is a part and is available for free.  However, I *just* (June 27, 2025) realized that the buying-guide.html actually says that student and teachers CAN GET education discounts, but not really. As in my school has to buy it for me. But that's silly, right? My CURRENT account (raphaelae@yahoo.com) ...with my https://account.adobe.com/profile ... STATES:So I just need an Adobe person to invoice me at raphaelae@

Searching for assets is difficult when I can only see them in the panel menu. They are too small. Is there a way to undock the panels like you can in classic? If not, how can I view larger versions of the items available in the assets panel?

Hello,  Just wondering if anybody encountered a similar problem: The photos in Assets are not loading into the all new Adobe Captivate. Any thoughts on this? Thank you. 

I used Image Trace in Illustrator to turn a hand-drawn sketch into a logo. Everything looked fine in Illustrator, but after exporting it as an SVG, some random lines appeared that weren’t visible before.Is this a common issue with Image Trace? Any tips on how to clean it up or prevent it from happening?

Hi! I am creating a simulation training for a process in our software system. I want the user to press the ENTER key to move to the next screen. In Captivate Classic I would use a Text Entry Box and add the shortcut ENTER. Does anyone know if this action can be done in Captivate 12? I added the text entry box however, I cant find a "shortcut" to place the ENTER action and when previewing the simulation, it performs the action of a Click box to move to the next screen.  Thank you!

How do I rearrange the page order in the carousel widget (Captivate ver. 12.6.0.63)?

Hello, using Captivate 12.4 creating a training simulation. I have added an Input Field text box. This only has resize handles on the left and right hand sides. Tiny circles located in the centre of the left side and the right. I have watched a few videos online and on all videos there are small resize dots in each corner of the Input Field box.  How do I get the resize dots (handles) in each corner of the Input Field box please. I need to shrink the Input box smaller than the left and right resize handles will allow. Thanks in advance

Hi everyone, I'm a recent user, so I might not be aware if this issue has been flagged or experienced by others. After having to recreate my whole 10Go project from scratch due to supposedly corrupted quiz slides, I now face new problems :  #1. I open the project, then it totally freezes, can't do anything, but when force quit, it doesn't mention "Not responding".#2. When project is open, sometimes the top menu disappears.#3. If I miraculously succeed in publishing to scorm (xAPI standard), the zip file is only 10% of the project's size, otherwise it crashes before the end of the process.#4. At the beginning of the timeline, on all slides, there is a little "face-like" icon, and according to support agents it means something is corrupted but no one seems to know why... Note: I work on Macbook pro M2, Captivate 12.6 I'm desperately needing help to solve these. Even if agents are showing good intentions, Adobe's support is absolutely not up to the level we can expect from

Are there more illustrated character options available in Adobe eLearning tools, similar to the default one that appears in the character + text box slide?I only seem to get realistic photo-style characters when trying to change it.

How can I insert or upload a custom template into the Captivate 12.6 asset repository so it appears alongside the default templates?
