[Locked] Why is Captivate not part of Creative Cloud?

[Mister Lortie]

Why is Adobe Captivate not part of Creative Cloud?

It seems it would be a great addition to workflows that require screen capture + publishing. As a creative, I often need to integrate screen capture videos in projects such as trailers, web site or application videos, or simply product presentation. Unless explained, I just don't see why it's not part of the Cloud package...  Now I have to consider buying Camtasia or using crappy freewares...

I am also disappointed in Adobe for ignoring this potent and viable program. It would seam they have included some very unremarkable programs and left out a powerhouse. I am a former Macromedia Director author and greatly miss many of the features that I once enjoyed and utilized. Adobe, PLEASE include Captivate!

[djtrustGod]

I agree. Captivate should be part of Creative Cloud.

[morunner]

Yes captivate should be part of creative cloud, it's unreasonable for them not to include it.  I use Photoshop, Premiere and Indesign that's it. I would like to have captivate.

[Alex Smith]

I can't believe Captivate is not included in the CC, Adobe, you can do better and so can I if I have access to ALL the creative tools I need.

[MartindaleSC]

Adding my voice to this! Very disappointed that Adobe have withheld this from Creative Cloud1

[eyejacker]

Just bought Adobe CC thinking Captivate was included.

What a disappointment. For all that money per year, we should be getting the full "creative" package...

[artfulminstral]

I have been taking some classes in this program for a couple of days. It is a very good hybred of older Macromedia basics and Adobe inter-application connectivity. I understand that adobe needs to make money and the market for this program is relatively small. However, I also see the reasoning that with an annual subscription to the entire suite due every year, Adobe will be making a very nice profit. Come on Adobe, give us your best and don't hold back.

[TheMikeBaldwin]

Add me to the list. I put in a request for it to be added. PLEASE ADOBE FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY AND GOOD!!!!

Adobe Captivate needs to be a part of the Creative Cloud Subscription.  It has broader appeal than they think.  I work in an educational institution and have student employees.  There are times that I would like to create tutorials for those students and other store staff members.  Since we pay the subscription price for "all Adobe products" then it seems misleading that Captivate would not be included.  I urge Adobe employees to answer this question, and bring it into the CC fold.

We purchased "Robodemo" by Macromedia around 10 years ago before it was re-named to Captivate after Adobe swallowed the company up. Upgraded to Captivate shortly after. Was a great tool at the time when we used it.

Need it again now but wont install on our newer machines and would obviously be outdated anyway.

Having this back within the CC suite would be great.

Captivate needs to be part of CC

Hi Adobe complete the circle and include Captivate in Adobe CC I've got 5 users paying AU $249 a month here and I regularly get asked "how to record a screen"

[WhiteTie]

In many of the productions I work on, screen capture is used in many of my workflows, it is absolutely ridiculous that I cant do a screen capture using any of the CC suite of tools used for production. It's quite laughable really. Sort it out please.

[gez7]

Yes to vote on Captivate added to CC, and Presenter too - I thought it was all Adobe products, but not hey...!

[hayleyy53268435]

Totally agree, 1 pay a subscription for ALL adobe CC software and we don't get it all! what a joke!

Add my vote too!!!!!!!

[LukeM]

I too am surprised when I go to download Captivate and it wasn't in my list of apps to install. And I would have to pay another $29.99 a month (More than HALF of the whole CC subscription)? That is ridiculous. It seems very deceptive that on the homepage that it states "Get the entire collection of creative apps" yet you don't get the entire collection of apps!

[John Waller]

"Creative apps" - as defined by Adobe - not all apps sold by Adobe.

Full list here (no Captivate):

Adobe Creative Cloud desktop apps | Adobe Creative Cloud

[dainiswmichel]

yeah, because things like teaching and presenting are not creative acts.

it's just silly, really.

[bradrallen]

Your logic is flawed.

Adobe's own description of Captivate: "Create any kind of eLearning end-to-end. For any device."  Sounds pretty creative to me...

Adobe's own description of Creative Cloud: "Creative Cloud gives you our entire collection of creative tools for your desktop".

By their own definition Captive must be part of CC.

[dainiswmichel]

adding captivate to CC would indicate compassionate understanding of its customer base

[gchristo27]

Please add captivate to the CC subscription. It would be an important part of the workflow on many creative projects. I'm not sure why it was left out?

[gchristo27]

Please add presenter to the CC subscription too

[TheCEOofSEO]

I'm shocked!  I was comfortable knowing that I could get anything I wanted with CC. I feel baited and switched.

[childerhouse]

I'm pretty disappointed and to be honest pretty bloody furious captivate isn't part of CC

Adobe have been developing software and supporting people who make a living off there products for decades.

They know more about what software you need then you do. 90% of the time you don't need 90% of the service
but now and then in a pinch you need something to get a job done and with the CC program you shouldn't need to look anywhere else.
who needs camtasia when Adobe has my back right!? I pay for there support! Ive supported Adobe for 10+ years now!
Well right now i need captivate! not indesign or edge code or audition or edge Reflow (whatever the bleep that is)
I'm paying to develop all these  programs and I pay for the top premium package for all the programs.
there isn't a more expensive package i can buy for all your services  but now it seems I can pay for the top package and then if i want to I can
spend that $100 plus dollars more to get the next extra thing I need? What is that? That is boarder line extortion.
Honestly this is peoples livelihoods not the extra sports channel! i have work to do and adobe is supposed to have my back!

[HeadyInfo]

Yeah, in response to not having access I will be cancelling my CC subscription. Totally useless to pay the price and not have access to All Adobe Applications. Throwing money away.
