One question: When will Captivate 12 start implementing Master Slides?

It's a simple question requiring a simple answer, Adobe.

If you've given the answer somewhere else, I apologise, but I haven't been able to find a date anywhere.

Answers like "it's on the roadmap" just won't cut it. 

I have clients that ask me about the prebuilt quickstart projects : "So you can open a quickstart project, switch the default images on Master Slides, tweak and create Object styles, and bring in your customised actions?".
I reply "Umm, not exactly". And the next sentence from the client usually includes something like "we'd better find an application that can. Will Storyline, or Hype, or any of the other tools do that"?

Help me out here. Anyone?

Personally I doubt that Master slides and Object styles will ever come back, because they are esteemed to be too complicated. Present themes in version 12 are barely useful especially for companies who want consistent design. I get the same answer from my clients, they are looking for an alternative ....

Even in the QSPs in previous version it was clear that they struggled with master slides.

@OzBassist - if you haven't done a trial of ActivePresenter - you might consider taking a look.

Hey thanks. Just downloaded it and am having a play.

Will report back after. Looks pretty straightforward and not ridiculously expensive.
