Captivate 6 in Creative Cloud?

[MichaelD443]

Will Creative Cloud (CS6 and beyond) include Captivate 6? All other applications in eLearning Suite 2.5 are already in the Creative Cloud so it seems reasonable that Captivate would go to the cloud too. If I get everything in Creative Cloud that is in the eLearning Suite there seems to be no reason Captivate can't go in there too.

Hearing just bit about Captivate 6, I have heard nothing about any new eLearning Suite. Is it because the Creative Cloud has it covered? Another reason to put Captivate in the Creative Cloud, I think.

It is absolutely essential that both Captivate and Presenter are included with the Creative Suite. For whatever reason Adobe sees these two as being for instructional design only (forget the fact that I see them as instructional development tools). The fact is that people in every single discipline: engineering, marketing, sales, medicine - could use Captivate to create highly interactive presentations, interactive tutorials and evaluations. I agree that instructional designers bring an art and science to what seems like point and click capture, but there is market potential for Adobe that should not be forgotten.

I strongly support idea that Captivate 6 would be part of Creative Cloud!

Yes - well said! We'd like to stream our Ask the Experts shows live through YouTube and having Captivate in Creative Cloud would make all the difference. I was surprised not to find it in my sub.

I remember when LiveCycle was included with Acrobat9, then removed when 10 came out, turned into a pay item seperate from CC. Luckily I purchased CS6 before the CC change and was given a free copy of LC3. LC4 is still a pay item. My point is that they will not give Captivate a cc position because it just doesn't fit into the design section.

I would like Captivate, because I create tutorials for my companies software and make instruction clips for tech support.

I have added a feature request when CC first release asking for Captivate. No word yet.

Currently eLearning Suite is an option: http://www.adobe.com/in/products/elearningsuite.html

This is definately a slap in the face for $50 a month.

Hiya, I don't mind if its not captivate really, all I want is a screen recorder that will record in HD and capture system audio so I can make music tutorials.

Count me as a vote still though definitely!

So I just noticed the idea received so many votes (think it was over 700 last time I saw it) Adobe took it down.  Must be a great way to handle your customer requests.  If they all request a feature simply hide the evidence.

Interestingly Adobe no longer lets you purchase Captivate month to month either.  With all of the other products in Creative Cloud it is hard to see why this one is seperate.  Must be a solid revenue stream but seems odd that it would generate more revenue as a stand-alone than something like PhotoShop.

Another odd thing is that the eLearning Suite is no longer an option so if you are a school they must figure it is a good idea to milk you from two directions. 

What is most bothersome is the lack of comment on the topic (other than to remove the idea link above).  Come on Adobe at least have the courage to tell your customers you are not going to do what they have asked.

I agree. "Currently" seems to be the standard operational word here. Adobe is always Currently offering options and then taking them back again. Not too keen on constancy??? So, according to this policy, a staff member can comment safely to posts. As of October 11 last year eLearning Suite WAS an option. But for Adobe, on October 12th this could be untrue, due to new policies. Simple users cannot keep up with promises like that, just as simple voters cannot keep up with the promises that politicians make. It would indeed be great just to hear: "We at Adobe don't do this anymore, in fact never again." But that may not Currently be the company policy....

Hello,

I was under impression that ALL the Adobe software is now available for 600 USD per year (3000 USD for 5 years).

What actions are required to implement an official request to Adobe Inc. with all of the above 200+ signatures to make Captivate available in Creative Suite?

p.s. The link David__B provided doesn't work.

[Learnie]

I was told this as well.  Very disappointed to find out that it is not true.  That is simply not good business practice.

If Adobe is unwilling to add Captivate to the Creative Cloud offering, then how about offering a steep discount oaver the standalone subscription for Captivate to Creative Cloud subscribers? I would gladly pay another $5/mo. to add Captivate to the package but I will not be using it frequently enough to justify the full cost of an additional subscription.

[taikajim]

Hi Friends!

I am also willing to pay a little bit extra if Captivate would be part of Creative Cloud family.

Add Captivate!!!!  It makes no sense to exclude this program...

[romerolaw]

I would like to see this product added to the Creative Cloud Suite as well.

[das_inmation]

I would also be willing to add €5/month to my CC subscription to have access to Captivate. In my opinion it's mandatory to have a screen capturing software included in Creative Cloud.

[lo_mo]

Not sure why Captivate is not with Adobe CC, but seems like it should be. Please add this app to the cloud!

[Birgitterosenkilde]

Please include captivate in the cc package"

[sukay42]

Yes, please add Captivate.  I do not understand why it is not included in this suite.  I would use it far more than some of the more obscure programs that are included.

[CorinneWO]

I agree wholeheartedly. Why is Captivate not part of the Creative Cloud?

[KNEverett]

Another vote here to include Captivate as part of Creative Cloud.  That would be a deal maker for me to become a full subscriber.

[Schol3001]

No response from Adobe yet I take it.  Are Captivate and Presenter the only suite products left out of CCT?  Captivate 8 is $912 on its own so I imagine that is a great revenue flow for them.  Could users use Adobe Premiere Pro CC, which is in cloud, instead to do something similarly done in Captivate?

[Yarik V.]

I agree, please include Captivate and Presenter to Creative Cloud service, and then I will renew my CC plan.

I was user of Creative Suite 6 Design Standard since version CS2 and eLearning suite 6 since version 2. Because Adobe stopped future plans for these products, but Captivate and Presenter was not included to new Creative Cloud, only separately, I had Creative Cloud plan payed, but only first year (24,59 €) and plus subscription Captivate (22,13 €). After first year I have stopped CC and buy perpetual license from eLS 6 to individual CP7 + Presenter 9 (it was possible). And still use CS6 installed products.

In june i have upgraded Captivate 7 to version 8 perpetual and Presenter 9 to version 10 perpetual. But other products have and use CS6. What can I do... Its not possible (for me) to pay CC (60€) + Captivate (22,13€) and Presenter (16€) each month. It would be not fair, when other designers and developers pay only CC (60 €) and I would pay nearly 100 €.

Agree!

I'm currently have a full Creative Cloud membership and desperately need a screen capture program for creating online tutorials for my students.

This thread was started in 2012 for Captivate 6, what is the delay in adding Captivate into the CC family. I just updated all of my apps to CC (2014), but Captivate is still not an option. Come on, let's make it happen…
