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

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...

[waldemarker]

I also need captivate, and I would pay 5 € more for the CC subscription to have it all the time

[mlstechwriter71]

I would like to see Captivate and Presenter added... Or more importantly, a CC eLearning Suite implemented. It's very annoying that Adobe has chosen to ignore an entire division of professionals by not providing us with a viable solution within the Creative Cloud environment.

[Miki95]

I do not necessarily need to create learning materials but would love the capture functionality.  I have the CC subscription and wish Captivate or a screen capture was included.

[Seth99]

Yes. Have to agree with all the above. I just purchased a year's subscription to Adobe Cloud and was quite let down that Captivate was not part of the package. As the budget is blown I will have to look at another angle as can't afford the $600 to get it. Also, with video and sound editing and script tool as part of the cloud, why isn't this part of the package. Insane!    

[susanh41921519]

Agreed.  Please post captivate to the Adobe Cloud as an option

[__Scudboy__]

Also have my vote.

[ecp1978]

Yes, please include!!

[Thomas_Kennedy]

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!!!! WHY??? WHY HAS ADOBE CAPTIVATE NOT BEEN INCLUDED????

[3amteacher]

I am with Thomas_Kennedy and the rest of you on this topic!! I pay $54 (that includes tax) a month for Adobe Creative Cloud even though I own Creative Suite /CS6 and I have been wondering the same thing!!

WHY... OH WHY... has Adobe NOT included Captivate in the Creative Cloud Suite?????  I see that Premiere is now a feature, but NOT Captivate?? AND... there is a $29.00 charge to sign up to get Captivate Cloud... why is this separate??

I LOVE all of the features CC offers, but not having the eLearning tools is driving me nuts!! I am having to use other programs and brands when I would LOVE to use Adobe for everything I do. I have been asking this question from the VERY beginning when Creative Cloud was first launched and I hopped on board.

ADOBE.... are you listening to your loyal customers????  We are having to use other (less expensive) options.... wouldn't you rather us choose YOU over some other brand???  We are waiting....

Note to ADOBE: We have invested in you, now please invest in us and add a few extra features to Adobe Creative Cloud Suite!! Don't make us pay an extra 29.00 for ONE program...pretty please...

Logical mismatches found in the phrases Adobe "listening to your loyal customers" and "please invest in us"...

After Adobe's response to Acrobat DC debacle and the 2015 updates across the board, it seems customer satisfaction is low on their priority list compared with harvesting profits from their indentured subscription members...

[dainiswmichel]

unfortunately, it does look like customer satisfaction is currently quite low on adobe's list of priorities 😞

[artillery]

screenflow is free! Adobe [Profanity removed by moderator] should you have to pay AGAIN!! its no wonder why so many choose to hack software as they just dont look after you on so many levels.

[discontinuity]

count my vote for including Captivate in Creative Cloud.

[jakecento]

I also vote for it to be included- seems silly for it not to be and I will not be buying/subscribing to additional products outside of the creative cloud just for screen capture. There are alternatives- but I would prefer to have my workflow remain fully covered by Adobe CC.

[PawSydney]

I agree with Jakecento     by the way quicktime can screen capture on macs if you have it.... good for converting a prezi into a video quality not awesome and yes i would look to adobe first but im not spending any more on subs   x  Thanks

[dainiswmichel]

odd that it is not a part of CC. i would like it to be.

why pay monthly, if you can't use all of the apps?

[Fish_Nerd]

Add my vote for including Captivate in the CC subscription. Given then number of apps that are included that I will never use, it seems like a reasonable inclusion.

[StewartA-w3AXWP]

Add my vote too - this is an important app and should be part of CC.

[tman123456789]

COUNT MY VOTE IN! - It's a HUGE app for all people in the media industry.. our commitment with ADOBE CC's annual payments should allow us to use this app. I might as well be on FCP X

[madelinew71212950]

I did not renew my Adobe Cloud subscription.  The reason was - it contained many applications that I do not use.  Perhaps they can have another suite which allows you to pick the applications that work best for you.

[Fubals]

We get plenty of marketing emails from Adobe saying how we can be so much more creative with their software, but Im not really feeling the love.. In fact the trend I am seeing now and shifting to is with heaps of other great, up to date software from other companies and creatives who are just nailing it with their user experience.

[taras11320786]

Am I to assume, that since request is 4-years-old, that Adobe is not taking notice?

[WordWoof]

Yeah, I think it's safe to say Adobe are happy to have subscribers pay twice for certain bits of software. I'm fast losing the will to do so...

[janel61366326]

yep this needs to added - otherwise what use is the cloud as a one stop shop?

This has gone of years - explain why not or do it.

In the meantime I'm using other free software - the cost of using captivate cloud for occasional use is ridiculous.
