Question

Are they serious? Captivate is not creative enough for Creative Cloud?

What are they thinking??? My thoughts are in chaos right now...I was about to buy in to the cloud, even though I'm not able to truly use it yet, so I could continue working and learning, as my trial is ending. Thank God I did a last minute check! WOW. This is wrong on so many levels.

And an extra-special thank you, Adobe, from teachers, many of whom create more each day than some folks do in a lifetime. Guess I'll get that squirrely little subscription for it, wondering all the while when they'll pull it out from under me. I was so hoping to combine it with the other programs bit by bit. Now I'm reading it's incompatible with so much here. Or do I have it wrong somehow?

Adobe, you have some very serious concept issues! Or I'm a bubble-wad and have no clue about what I thought the CC was. Entirely possible.

I have to agree, unfortunately. It seems they are really missing an opportunity to bring Captivate to the masses. It is a "creative" software and should be available. I am really surprised at the cost of the subscription for Captivate as well. Way too much money IMHO when compared to everything you get with CC.

Just my 2 cents!

Couldn't agree more, I'm always laughing (sadly) when I hear that Captivate is not creative... but it is 'another business unit', that is a common answer.

    I wonder if they somehow don't realize how excited I was to learn it existed? I now dream of things I can do with this program.  If more elementary teachers were aware of what this program can do, there's be a huge market for it, along with training sessions, webinars to encourage buying, so much more. And if teachers love it and use it—won't the generation of kids in school learn all it can do?

    The fact that they don't want one of the largest professions (teachers of kids, not adults) in the United States to fall in love with it is—bizarre! My friends all spend thousands a year on their students, and hell with waiting for districts to pay. They never will. Hey. That explains Adobe's thinking. But they're wrong. IMO. Or maybe I just hang with the seriously dedicated teachers. Dunno.

    Oh, well. Why am I still surprised at life's oddities, at my age?
