Hi,

I have a training video file from my client, which is in a .cpvc format. I have opened this file in Captivate 10.

To edit this .cpvc video, I cannot find any option. On the Properties tab, there are no options available. Can you enlighten me on how to edit a .cpvc file?

Thanks for your help in advance.

    Are you totally new to Captivate? This is NOT a video slide; it has a static background and there is only a staggering on the timeline for the objects that appear. Pan and Zoom could have been done during capture, not after it. Split is also a video term. You can duplicate the slide and take out some frames at the end on the first slide, and frames in the beginning for the second slide. But that will not change anything when publishing, makes no sense.

    Sorry, but your screenshot is showing a normal slide, not a cpvc-slide I suspect it is a slide recorded in a software simulation, Demonstration Mode. I deduct this from the presentence of a Typing object and a Mouse object.

    Thanks, that helps, so there may be no way to edit this video?

    Normally it opens in the Video Editor, and you have a timeline panel at the bottom that has a lot of features. The right docking station will show the appropriate panels when you choose an option in the timeline. Have a look at this blog post:

      Hi!

      Thank you for your input! The blog post says, the file opens in a video demo application packed with Captivate. I could not locate the Video Demo application. Could you suggest which video editor must be used to edit the .cpvc file?

      Thanks,

      When opening a cpvc file it should automatically open in the video demo editor. Is that not the case for you? You don't have to do something special at all.
