Video Demo Project will not load/display correctly after Publishing

Question

I have Captivate 2019. I imported  my video demo slides into my cptx project by going to Insert -> CPVC Slide. I also have a Title Page at the start of my project that is not a video slide. I also imported audio into Captivate for each of my video demo slides. When I preview my project in Captivate everything works properly, but when I publish my project as a Video, the title slide and the audio for each of my video demo slides are the only things that play properly. None of my video demo slides appear on the screen, there is a constant loading/spinning symobol that displays. throughout my entire project except for the Title slide. The project is saved to my local work server. Does anyone have any input as to what could be the issue?

You are not the first user to try this approach, but it is not a good idea at all. If you really want only to publish to Video Demo, please assemble the clips in the Video Demo editor. It is perfectly possible. You can always replace audio in a Video Demo which would give you perfect synchronisation, much more difficult to do so with CPVC slides.

I have tried this workflow many years ago and always had problems to achieve the wanted result. I know, it could be made easier in the Video Demo editor to combine clips but I am using that approach all the time. Here are some tips based on my experiences:

This video has been created that way, except for the Intro and Outro for which I used Premiere Rush:
