animated transitions (After effects to cp8 workflow)

[karlm83211502]

So I have a PNG of a photoshop project I created, I'm using this as my title slide in Cp8. I put a button beneath the word "Start" which takes me to slide 2.

Slide 2 is actually a .f4v video created in After Effects, without the skin, with all the elements (text, graphics) of the .png animating off-screen. Slide 1 and slide 2 look exactly the same, so when s1 (still image) transitions to s2 (video) it should be seamless.

However, the screen goes white for about a second when the "Start" button is clicked. How do I stop this "jump" and get a nice seamless transition?

Action on the button (below the word "Start") is Continue. Why the lag between slide 1 and slide 2. I've spent all day on this, reinstalled Cp8, been on the phone to Adobe.......aaaaaaaaaarrrrggggh if someone can help me solve this they can marry my sister!!

Which output?

HTML5 or SWF?

Hi Rod, thanks for your response. I haven't tried publishing it yet, just previewing, but it will be HTML5.

Insert the video as multi-slide synchronized video

Select the option to extend slide duration to accommodate video

Change the following line in your AdobeCaptivate.ini located here: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 8 x64

UseWidget7 = 1

Put your button on top of the video and set the pause point of the button at the beginning of the video.

Set the action to continue.

TLCMediaDesign - thanks also for your response, I'll give it a try and let you know how I get on!

TLCMediaDesign, I located the file but couldn't locate the line. I'm using Mac so wonder if that's why? Either ways the problem seems to have corrected itself now, perhaps I was just running too many programs yesterday?

Thanks for the suggestions anyways guys!

Correction, it hasn't corrected itself, the first 2 steps of TLCMediaDesign's suggestion have most likely corrected it.
