Question

Running a preview of Captivate project is chopping audio but in published file it is fine

I have built a Captivate project in V2019. When I playback the project 5 slides at a time - audio is sometimes getting chopped off between slides. Once published it seems to be fine.

 

Would appreciate any advice how to fix this.

    Make sure there is a slight gap at the beginning and end of each slide's audio clip on the timeline.  If you don't have these gaps (one tenth of a second is all you need) then Captivate sometimes 'stitches' the audio file for multiple slides into a larger audio clip, and that can cause issues when only previewing a small set of slides.

    Hi Rod

     

    Thanks for the reply - I did try that and it still chopped off. I even tried inserting a slide before.

    My focus is on the fact that this only happens in preview, not after publishing. Is this a non-responsive project?  If yes, use only F11, Preview HTML in Browser if you want to see a preview using a temporary HTML output. All other previews use a SWF output. Which browser are you using?
