Insert question slide in middle of video

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?

This is very helpful, thank you!  You mentioned there were actually two ways to accomplish the task.  However, you only demonstrated one.  Your method assumes I know how many slides I need before importing the video.  But inevitably, there may be a need to insert a question slide after the video has been imported.  How would that be accomplished?  Would that have been the second method you mentioned?


Hi there,

I will be glad to explain the other method as well. You can refer to the below mentioned video that I've created for you:

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

I'm wondering if there is an update on this? I am using Captivate 9 and the menu is very different than this one.

I can't find the edit video timing; there is a timing tab, but no edit.

Hi there,

Thanks for reaching Adobe Community.

You can accomplish this task with the Multi-Slide Synchronized Video in captivate 6. You can do so by clicking Video > Insert Video > Multi-Slide Synchronized Video. You can edit the video timing by going to Video > Edit Video timing.

Once the video is distributed between the number of slides you want. Then you can select the slide and insert a quiz question slide in between.

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Thanks for the quick reply.  So far I have two questions:

1. I tried importing the video as a Multi-Slide Synchronized video and distribute it over multiple slides.  However, when I did that, the video plays on top of the slides.  I need the video to stop.  Then there is a Question slide. Then the movie resumes.

2. I don't understand the idea behind having to know in advance to how many slides you want to distribute the video.  What if I've already imported the video and decide I want to insert a question slide?

I appreciate the help...the logic and sequencing of tasks is really confusing me right now.

Hi there,

Please accept my apologies for the same.

Lets take an example here: I have a project where I have four slides. I inserted a Multi-Slide Video and distributed it amongst  those four slides. Now I click on the first slide in the FilmStrip and then click Quiz > Question Slide to insert a question. This way whatever part of that video is there on the first slide will play and then it will advance to the question slide and then I will answer the question and when I hit submit, it will advance to the third slide for the next part of the video.

Thanks!
