PNG exported from AI are pixelated in captivate

Captivate 9 most recent.

I have been searching on the captivate forums and finding a lot of posts about pixelated pngs (and other formats) once they are added to captivate. Many have do not have solutions and the ones that do do not work for me.

I downloaded some images from elearning brothers via the captivate assets link. The pngs look great when I open them in photoshop, but are pixelated in captivate. I tried various things - exported from AI to svg, resized smaller in photoshop - all with no luck.

Does any one have any advice? I had a requirement to label the buttons with a text box under the buttons. The buttons nect to the vector text shows the difference. Im exporting to html5 and looks terrible.

    Can you post a screenshot of those buttons, and explain how they were created?

    What output do you create? If it is a non-responsive project will the size be fixed or rescalable? Or is it a responsive project?

    I'm not sure why, but the last publish I did seemed to look better, but I will still answer your questions. I can only hope all publishings will be the same

    html5, non-responsive, rescalable.

    Of course, turning on rescalable could lead to decreasing the quality. Best quality is there when you alook at the resolution it was designed in. The only way to see the real output is after publishing and uploading to a webserver or a LMS. Contrary to SWF output the Preview methods will not really show the 'real' thing. Moreover, I don't know if you are aware of that: for HTML output in a non-responsive project, use the Preview HTML in Browser (F11) because all other Preveiw methods use a SWF termporary output.

    Are those buttons shapes filled with an image?
