Editing Captivate Characters

[ashfordlearning]

Is there a way to flip an adobe character to face a different way (i.e. instead of facing right, they face left)?

Try to apply the Scale Effect, with X=-1 and Y=1. You have to be sure that the Effect is extended to the whole duration of the Timeline,

Amazing! I wish it wasn't so manual. That there was a user-friendly way of figuring out how to do that. But, I'll take it! Thank you!

Sorry, there is a more friendly way, but I was just working with Effects, and I know that not many users are aware of this option to scale 'negative'. That was just the teacher in me.

Easier: select the character: open the Image Edit accordion and click this Flip button:

Hope you do not mind me taking you on an Effect trip

That's more like it It's good to know the ins and outs of Captivate.

I haven't taken any formal training, so these tidbits help. It's been

hard to find specific training on these types of tasks. Thanks again!

I never did take any training, not even bought one book, just learned by playing and trying to answer questions,
