I trying to publish my video to youyube.com. But when i try publish it in captivate it can only publish it in 100 .swf files. I tried converting the 100 .swf files into different video formats, with multiple software, but thay can't convert it.
I try google searching for answers but there was none. I was trying to covert the 100 ,swf files into any other video format, then use Windows Movie Maker, to edit the video, but i can't, cause theres no software that can convert .swf files. I know Captivate can publish my project into .flv, but thats only if i have a Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro server.
Adobe must update Captivate to include the following:
1) Be able to have the option to make just one .swf file instead of 100 .swf files
2) Be able to publish your project into the following formats: FLV, AVI, WMV, PowerPoint, MP4, 3GP, MPG, MOV, DivX, and OGG.
3) Be able to have the option to make just one or multiple files of any format in update 2).
4) Be able to publish the file(s) in the formats of update 2), not just to your Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro server, but also to your computer, e-mail, and FTP.

    Welcome to our community, Joe

    These are good suggestions. Unfortunately, while it may make you feel as if you accomplished something by listing them here, they will only make you feel better. If you really want to make the Captivate developers aware of your suggestions, you need to use Adobe's preferred avenue for that. The avenue? The Wish Form. It's the link below:

    Okay, now that I've advised you on that, how about addressing some of your issues.

    You said:

    Ouch. You are using Captivate all wrong. It sounds as if you used the "Full Motion" mode. Sorry, but it's just not quite up to the task for that. Yes, I know there is an option for it, but it's one that you really shouldn't consider, as the result is almost always never what you want. You have seen that in action!

    If you want to use Captivate as it works best, you need to consider recording in either Demonstration or Assessment mode. In those modes it captures the screen as a static screen shot and normally creates just a few files to distribute.

    If your intent is to have full motion from beginning to end, I suggest you investigate a different product, as you will likely be happier. Something like Camtasia Studio is good for that. Perhaps use Google to investigate full motion alternatives.

    Hi again

    Okay, I would be remiss if I didn't stop and point out that Adobe DOES actually have a tool that will allow you to splice, slice and dice full motion clips. So if you want, you could theoretically use their tool to splice together all 100 of your shorter clips into a single larger clip. Check the link below for that:
