Question

Is there a way to deep link to a specific slide within a Captivate presentation?

We're creating training videos in Captivate 7 and would ideally like to be able to provide links to different sections within a video. My current plan for doing this is to set up the different sections as individual videos and embed them within the overall training video, but to also be able to provide a link to the individual ones - so if the overall video was on planting a garden there might be separate videos on planting root veggies, planting beans and tomatoes that climb and need support. I'm pretty sure it will work, but it's not as ideal as being able to have one video and link to either specific slides for a topic or specific times within the presentation so someone just wanting to learn about root veggies doesn't have to watch the whole video, for example.


I've poked around the documentation and searched around the Internet, to no avail, so I figured I'd ask here.


Thank you!

    Another option if you are planning on using Vimeo to embed. They have a great API that allows for 'deep links' and other video options.  

    I made a blog about how to use it here.

    User multi slide synchronised video to distribute your video across many slides. Linking to those same individual slides using 'Jump to slide' action will allow the slides to act like chapters for your video.

    Paul - is there any way to link to a specific slide from outside of an HTML5-published Captivate project?

    Not that I'm aware of.
