Question

I have imported a Powerpoint into Captivate. Now I want to add video. How can I do this?

I imported the PPT, then added audio to each slide. Now I want to add video and add more audio to the video segments.  I tried adding the video to the PPT and then re-importing it, but I got an error message that told me to add the video from within Captivate.  But I don't see where I can insert the video in Captivate after I've imported the PPT slides.

I'm using Adobe Captivate 9 and Powerpoint 2013

Insert a Blank slide and add the video to it. You have the choice between slide video and event video. You can use a master slide to your wish. Captivate is not really a PPT converter...

I added a blank slide and used the "Media"-"Video" on the toolbar.  How do I get the video to play?  It doesn't work when I use "Preview"

I just used the "preview" "play slide" from the toolbar.


That is NOT a preview at all, no temporary output is created. Play slide is only meant for editing, synchronizing the objects on the slide. Never use it as preview, it is not labeled as Preview but as Play slide.
