Question
Wishlist for Captivate 4
I'm starting this thread so we can gather all the thing we
want in Captivate 4 !
- speling check for closed captions : you can spell check your notes but not the closed captions!
- CCs independant of sound : CCs are embedded in the audio file. If it sounds logic, for some usage it's a real pain : if you rework your sound, you lose
the CCs (i.e. I had a bad voice over, i've written the CCs, then I received the new voice over and when I replaced the sounds, I had to rewrite
everything). Or for not-straight use of CCs, it would be great that CCs are related to the slide, not the sound. Ability to have CCs without sound as
well (for my not-common usages 🙂 )
- animated text - typing : i'd like it to be displayed like the zoom, with the 2 phases : the first phase when it's typing, the second when the text
stays still
- same idea for fade in/out on objects : like zoom : ability to see the fade in/out time and adjust it directly on the time line.
- "apply only changed properties" for a text captions doesn't really work well : it modifies the text as well (obvious if you have different fonts and/or
colors and/or underline, bold, etc.)
- "display for rest of project" : ability to choose the Z-axis of the object; i.e. the place on the stack : on top or bottom.
- and possibility to say "display until slide xx"
- sound management : I import my voices as mp3. during the importation they are converted to wav, and the publishing reconvert them to mp3. Don't we
waste energy here ?
- background images : why use bitmap ?? it justs make the .cp file bigger. We can work in png or jpg! I've got a project with 152 slides, it's 124 MB !
- Import project window : display slide number as well. suggestion : display slide like the "storyboard" view and enable to select many slides with shift
/ control an then choose the options.
- ...
That's your turn now!
