Why are some of the captivate project files so huge?

Hi Jutigrana,

Lilibiri's request for more details remains valid. But when you say "captivate project files" I assume you are talking about the CPTX project files. There might be a number of reasons for a huge file size:

• the number of slides
• all imported media (images, svgs, audio, video, web objects like oam, backgrounds etc.) go into the Library and increase the project's file size
• the Library might contain many media files which are unused in the actual project. There is a button: Select Unused Items to detect those and delete them
• Image, Video or Audio files might need better (file size) optimization

These a some reasons for massive file sizes. Please tell us your file size which you consider as huge. Generally speaking Captivate's project files are relatively large. In my experience I can't remember a CPTX file smaller than 30 MB (in my practice).

What do you exactly talking about: the raw cptx-file or the published HTML (or SCORM) folder?

It may be due to using images in a very high resolution, and resizing them in Captivate, about audio or video with a quality which is too high and is not adding more efficiency to the learning process. If you gave more details, it would be easier to answer. Including the OS and the exact full version number you are using is always useful as well.
