Firefly beta video generator only let me create 2 videos and then required some kind of admin permissions to access more. I logged into the Admin account and there is no option to add a Firefly Pro service to our plan. Is this an error? I wanted to explore the tool in its entirety but was only able to generate 2 videos. The credits in the top-right drop-down indicate I have 500/500. Not sure what is going on.

I'm experiencing an issue where i have liberally applied Adobe Captivate fonts across a project but when I go to publish the project it will not allow me to add a domain in the Adobe Fonts area on the publish settings and it's all grayed out. What do I do? I want to ensure users are able to see the Adobe fonts and not some dumb web font replacement. @Paul Wilson CTDP @Lilybiri have you seen this behavior?

Interesting idea. But extra steps that could be eliminated with a wider but shorter aspect ratio.

I would love to be able to generate a banner-sized image as I often create graphics to place at the top of documents, websites, web headers, Slack canvas headers, and normally the widescreen content is too tall to really create anything useable. I know I could create content from Photoshop but I love the ease and speed of generating right in Adobe Firefly. Starting with a thinner but wide aspect ratio would help me create useable content very quickly for these other uses.

I would love to be able to set the image dimensions from the initial firefly page. Maybe have a dropdown to choose widescreen, square, etc. right from the get-go, I loved a first iteration but it was square-sized and had to generate similar. I'd rather get the ratio I want from the get-go.

Thanks @droopydog500 I have tried stream of consciousness many times and found varying results. I'll give it a go again.

No. No reference image. But I did initially and why I reported this behavior of the program not shifting when changes are made. I keep finding that even when I add particular styles or looks it won't change... until I refresh then it will add the new look/style/lighting, whatever.

I keep modifying my prompts, removing styles and effects and it feels like firefly keeps focusing on a particular style/image set that I was using previously. I don't want to have to reload firefly, re-enter my prompts, and reselect all the settings that I had just to get it to change the style or bent of what I am generating. I've attached some image samples. Here you can see it's bent on cartoon style that I removed from the prompt and the style/effects options. I have regenerated it multiple times but am still getting a cartoo. focus. The focus should be on 3d style... I even tried removing the anime feature but it still gives me cartoon unless I exit can come back in.

I'd love to be able to see my favorited images in a full-screen pop-up similar to when you can view the different iterations of a rendered image and scroll through them.

That is correct. We've had great success with NVDA and Jaws reading the slide ALT text at the beginning of each slide. Suddenly they are no longer being read.

Has anyone else had issues with Slide Alt Text not reading properly when entering a slide? Up until about a month ago, Slide Alt text would always read when entering a new slide, however, recently, it has randomly stopped working with no apparent explanation. I will randomly get slides that do not read, even though the alt-text is clearly there! We are testing in Chrome, using NVDA and Chrome VOX which both exhibit the same behaviors with HTML5 output. Any ideas what is going on?

an update on this comment. Testing in Adobe captivate revealed to our team that Adobe reads the items from the bottom of the timeline to the top. Just thought that information should be put out there for others to learn from.

I don't specifically know what you did to make the effect... but if you paint on a transparent layer above the line you want to affect you should be able to get the same effect. Try adjusting your blending modes on either the paintbrush, or the layer itself. It looks like you used a hard-light, or pin-light effect. If the new paint layer exceeds beyond the line and bleeds over other artwork you could also select the line layer you are painting over and create a mask for the new paint layer that matches the line layer. Does that make sense?

If you applied the glow affect as a brushed on effect on the same layer as the green line, then there is no way to separate them. If you created it on a separate layer, then you can copy the layer and move it to another green line to get a similar effect.

Thanks Derek, I am not looking for free photoshop tutorials. I am looking to get support for Adobe Know How.com. An Adobe support agent suggested I post here. I have no idea why but they told me I have no other options. All of the @adobeknowhow email addresses have been shut down and there appears to be no support but here in the forums.

I was told by an Adobe Support agent that I should post in here to get access to my adobe knowhow videos. Apparently, Adobeknowhow.com is shutting down and I will no longer have access to my videos. I logged into my account and discovered, that even though I log in with my adobe ID my knowhow account is tied to a no longer existing email address. How can I get someone from Adobe to help me access and download my adobe videos? I want to be sure that i don't lose access to the content. Could someone from Adobe please help me?

I am wondering why Adobe Captivate doesn't have integration with the Adobe Creative Cloud libraries? Is this in your plans for the future? Our team of elearning media designers would greatly benefit from access to content in our creative cloud libraries. Images, swatches, and color palettes from Adobe Color. Also, integration of web fonts from Typekit and Google fonts would be incredibly useful to EVERY captivate user. Google's free fonts are spectacular and could help drive interest in elearning design. Even the creation of a plugin that can be added for those who want to use it would be incredibly useful for designers creating e-learning.

We have created an ebook using Indesign, and created an animated table of contents with links to pages within the document. When we use the pop up table of contents it jumps to the correct page, but the page size shrinks. ??? Why would this be? How can I resolve it? See screenshots below It's weird, cause the ebook jumps to the right page in the view, but not in the reader itself... the image/view shows page 7 but the ebook reader shows page 3. Full-Size page with TOC expanded. After clicking the PSEUDO TOC link - shrunken image.

Hi Jay, Follow the instructions here: Create your own custom image buttons for Captivate | Infosemantics Pty Ltd for adding a new image button to the Captivate Default image button folder. Once you have added the images to the default directory your images will appear in Captivate. For whatever reason, this has not been a high priority for Captivate Developers and is a pain for sure.
