Correct answer Lilybiri

Captivate 9 ships with an app for iPad, which is labeled Captivate Draft and is often used for storyboarding.

Sometimes I use Draft for storyboarding, sometimes just paper and pencil or a digital equivalent, sometimes I will do it right away in CP. So many

factors are important: complexity, client, working alone or in collaboration with a team to mention only some.

We're still migrating a lot of content from PowerPoint and other formats into eLearning. We'll use the PPT to build a PPTx by adding narration in the slide notes area.

As a first draft, the PPTx can be printed in Notes view and used as a storyboard.

Once production moves to Cp, I'll bring the Narration and Slide Text into Cp as Notes, use TTS to get draft audio, publish for review. In another review cycle, I'll add notes text as Closed Captions, Print to word using a custom WordOutput Template, and generate a Narration / Storyboard master for review.

After republishing, the Narration / Storyboard master is shared with the audio talent / narration reader along with access to the published draft for a 'virtual walkthrough.' I ask the talent to make notes on their copy and ask if we need to revise the printed script or if their notes are sufficient.

Usually, the Narration / Storyboard master with their notes is suffient for a recording session. The audio capture is bulk edited (revisions made to a single audio file), then exported based on the content for each slide. I've had issues adding WAV files to each slide in Cp8, but saving the audio segments as WAV files can be bulk converted to MP3 if those issues appear.

Pulling the edited audio segments to each slide goes rather quickly, republishing allows a final revision. Generally the narrator is excluded from the review, as most of us don't like hearing our own voice.

Thanks for all your answer,

Sorry to come back later now...

I mean create a storyboard with "classique"  Adobe Captivate 9 version, not with draft one.

In order to gain developpement time after, and to have an easy view between the storyboard and the developpement phase.

I will test to work withe "embranchement" window".

So if you have some idea,

Best regards,

Christophe

Do you mean with Captivate Draft or with the full Captivate version?

    Thanks Lilybiri,

    I don't know where could I find Captivate Draft ? This is an addon with captivate?

    I usually work with captivate full version.
