Making multiple projects into one SCORM

I have made multiple Captivate 5 projects that need to transform into one SCORM Module on my moodle LMS website, and count as one SCORM Quiz/Test. I've tried to even load multiple projects in one zip, but it failed to jump to the other projects when I had them all linked together leaving only this: "loading..." when I click the button to open project on the SCORM package. Please Help... Thanks...

I'm assuming here that your questions are related to the fields in the Quiz Preferences in Captivate.
The Objective ID is the same for all reporting elements in a given module. The Interaction ID Prefix just helps to distinguish which particular module your question data came from if you happen to be viewing it on drilldown inside your LMS. As long as it's not the same prefix as for other modules, it should be fine.
In the Multi-SCORM Packager dialog, the information you add to the fields will be written to the imsmanifest.xml file for the overall package:
Identifier is to provide an ID for your course that will be unique in your LMS. This will also be used to generate the filename of the final zip file.
Title is the name of the course.
Description may or may not be required by your LMS. Test and see. In some LMSs this info gets displayed to the user when viewing a synopsis of the course.
Version is the version of the package. I actually use the date reversed for my versioning (20110520a) with a letter on the end in case I output more than one version on a given day.
Duration is important to add. Some LMSs won't regard your package as compliant without this.
Subject is not something I've generally worried about, but it doesn't hurt to put a brief phrase on what the course topic material is about (e.g. Health and Safety)

Combining multiple projects into one?

from a recent vacation i have imovie projects for each city, 6 in all, each being between 2:45 and 5 minutes long. i did each in its own project to keep clips organized better, but when the final project plays, i want the cities to run one after the other, without kicking out to the menu everytime. basically what im asking is is there a way to merge these seperate projects into one, or do i have to compress each and then make a totally new imovie from that?

welcome phiphika to the  board…
in terms of convenience, I would indeed export/share all 6 movies.
to tape, or as Quicktime/FullQuality…
both methods create a lossless copy of your final movie(s).
in step II, import all 6 project into a new iM project, as said above, you don't loose ay quality with that back'n forth copying... only some time ;-)… you can set then chapter markers etc....
besides, your workflow is as mine on larger projects: not 678 clips into one monstrous project of some dozends Gigabytes, just segments…

Combining multiple projects into one larger project?

If I have multiple separate projects and now want to combine them, edits, titles and all into a larger project, is it possible? I expected that it might be possible to drag one project into another and place it intact onto the timeline for the new project. Since every combination of dragging a project around has evidently failed to accomplish what I'm expecting... is there a way to do this?

Best workflow to place multiple projects into one master project?

Since FCP X seems to slow down with longer projects(this needs to be fixed soon) I am creating 4 15 minute projects for my hour master. Should I copy and paste the shorter projects into the master or export them as self-contained QT files and re-import?
Best.
Tom

Try copying and pasting into a new project first after rebooting and with nothing else running, not even networking.

Advice on "merging" multiple projects into one

RH9 webhelp.
We currently run as merged help, but for maintenance and other reasons, I would like to merge these into a single project. This is mostly due to the variety of style sheets and folder structures that resulted from many of our older topics being added using the import Word feature in earlier versions of RH. I've done this in the past with a few smaller projects, but it ended up requiring a fair amount of manual per-topic work that I'd like to avoid if possible, give the # of these that would be affected by this.
My initial questions are:
1. Is it recommended to use the import feature to add the child files into the parent? Or create a brand new project and add both parent and children files into that? Or to use some other method of adding/recreating the current files into an existing/new single project? Especially in terms of the questions below (i.e. folder structures, old/new styles, associated image files, etc.).
2. Is there a way of importing that won't replicate the original folder structure? For example, in the projects I've created from scratch, all topics are under the basic folder for that project, while in older ones - which were mostly updated by importing Word documents - many topics reside in their own sub-folders, or in what were apparently early attempts to organize topics by subject. I would like to get rid of these sub-folders and have all topics in the same basic folder.
3. Is there a way of importing images that can auto-update image file names if an existing one already uses it? Many of our older images were created using simple numbering (e.g. 1.jpg, 2.jpg, etc.). Between the various projects and the various subfolders in each project, we have a lot of shared file names, and in my initial experimenting it required a lot of manual work to avoid overwriting. Is there a way in RH (or even outside, I guess) to somehow automate renaming these images during the import process?
4. Is there advice on mass-updating styles via style-sheets? I'm noticing a lot of weird display and control issues if I import a bunch of old topics and then try to apply our current style sheet to them. For example, RH will show that the new style is now associated with them, but they continue to display using the old style, or the wrong options (usually font styles and font sizes) are enforced with the update (for example RH seems to always default to want to use Times New Roman, even when neither the old nor new styles uses this font), or options (most commonly the font styles we use in the new style) will disappear from drop downs and the like. It just feels very buggy and not consistent or correct in being applied, and I'm worried about having to manually update or recreate a lot of individual topics because of this. Given we have some very ancient topics that have 'survived' 4 or 5 (or more) versions of RH, I guess I'm wondering if there's any old html code or similar that might be the culprit, and if so, how best to sort it out.
Essentially, we're kind of unique perhaps in that we don't really want to retain the existing folder structures or style guides, but my experience with the previous go-through was that RH did what it could to retain those. Which is understandable, but for us it'd be nice to avoid that and especially if there's a way of doing so without having to manually move and edit each topic and image file as they're imported into the target project.
Thanks for any tips or suggestions!

Hi there TWnKC
Personally, I'd copy the existing master, then begin importing the child topics in order to create a new project that is a combination of the former. And I do think it will be helpful moving forward to describe this as "Combining" as opposed to "Merging". Just so everyone is aware of the difference.
As for the structure, it may be whatever you like and all you have to do is ensure you import the topics into the correct folder.
Not sure about the images. That one will require a bit of testing. I might expect that if nothing is done you do run the risk of having them overwritten. So here is what I would probably do. Before importing, move images to a folder that is rather unique. That way they will be out of the way and won't get overwritten. By moving them inside RoboHelp, all references to them are updated as well.
As for the style sheets, only picking apart what is happening will truly reveal the issues. My own guess here is that you are probably seeing some inline or embedded styling that is causing things to run amok. But once you sort what is happening, it shouldn't be a big deal to fix.
I'm sure others will pop in and offer other additional advice.
Best of luck to you! Rick

How do I combine multiple projects into one project

I have about 35 movie projects made in iMovie 11 that I want to combine into about 8 movie projects. What's the best way to do this?

If you want those Media Browser versions they are 'squirreled away' or 'hidden' should I say in the the .rcproject file I think. That project file is in the following location:
Mac HD > Users > (your home folder) > Movies > iMovie Projects > <CTRL> + click on the project name then choose Show Package Contents. This will reveal the folders in thercproject container. The movies will be in the movies folder.

What is the best way to combine multiple projects into one?

My guess would be to turn them into compound clips and then make the transfer that way, but is that the only way?

You can merge Events from the file menu.
Select the Events, File > Merge Events
You could also convert project timlines into CC timlines which would be saved in an Event.
Open project timeline, select all, copy and then paste into a CC timeline.

How do you import multiple iMovie projects into one iDVD project?

Hi.
I'm 17, and am trying to create a DVD of when the family went on a cruise. For different places/days, I've created different iMovie projects.
But, when I want to export to iDVD, it only lets me put one iMovie project into one iDVD project?
I've tried dragging the actual iMovie project files into iDVD but that doesn't work.
I know I could export to QuickTime and then drag it into iDVD, but it seems exporting just to iDVD is much quicker, and the quality is better.
Anyone know how I can do this?
cheers
+P.S. If it helps, it's iMovie '11 with iDVD '09.+

That is not true. You can use them all in one DVD. I have just created my first DVD which has a trailer, a movie with chapters and several different slide shows.
All you have to do is save each project to Media Browser. (Choose Share in toolbar). Open iDVD and choose your theme or no theme. On the right will be all your options such as audio, media photo's etc. Choose your various video's/projects etc and just drag and drop which ones you want to the page and they will automatically put themselves there with the given name of each video/project.

Branching to multiple projects within a SCORM-compatible LMS

I'm close here, but I'm not quite getting what I want. Hopefully someone can point to the "easy" way to do this...
I am creating a single course that is composed of multiple Captivate 5 projects. The user is branched to different projects along the way based on the answers to embedded questions (such as passing/failing a pre-test). In the final project I have a post-test. That's the only one that needs to send a score to the LMS.
So let's simplify it for an example:
User enters in Module 1 and takes a pre-test.
If they pass with a certain score, they go to Module 3. If they fail, they go to Module 2.
If they're sent to Module 2, they go to Module 3 after they complete it.
In Module 3 they take a post-test and that score gets recorded.
Running this scenario on my desktop is easy. Putting it in a SCORM environment is taxing my brain.
Currently, I'm publishing each Module as its own SCO, keeping the Course ID and Title consistent between them.
I tried using the Multi-SCO Packager, but that results in entries in my LMS for Module 1, 2, and 3 separately. Not what I want.
I have tried moving the folders for Modules 2 and 3 to make them sub-folders of Module 1. That seems to work (I get one course entry point, for Module 1, and I exit with the correct score from Module 3), however in reviewing the LMS reports, this results in an artificially elevated "# of accesses" figure. The reason seems obvious: every time I load Module 1 it's one access, and then when I branch to Module 3, it's another access, because really I'm reloading the page with a new module and SCORM manifest, right? Plus I'm a little worried that this kind of gerry-rigging is going to break something.
I don't really want to use the Aggregator, because I don't want a TOC - they shouldn't have the ability to jump directly to Module 2, for example - but I tried it anyway. And I found that even if I can get it to flow the way I want to, I can't figure out how to package the Aggregated project into a SCORM Manifest.
There's got to be a way to do this. What am I missing? Is there something obvious I'm not considering?

The sequencing and navigation capabilities of SCORM 2004 are designed to work between shareable content objects (SCOs). Whether you publish to SCORM 1.2 or SCORM 2004, Captivate always publishes a course with exactly one SCO, and so doesn't make use of the SCORM sequencing and navigation capabilities. There are ways to implement branching in Captivate, but they're independent of the SCORM capabilities.
You may want to try RELOAD Editor (free) for a mainfest editor:

Here's a tut on how to package multiple SCOs:
http://captivatedev.com/2011/09/30/packaging-adobe-captivate-scos-into-one-course-using-re load-editor/
The tutorial doesn't speak directly to sequensing, but it does describe how to use RELOAD. Your situation is a bit more complext than just sequential prerequisites. You need conditional sequencing and that's done by specifying sequencing rules in your manifest:

How do I add multiple images into one file?

I'm sure this is something that's been covered in another post (or even in the help portal) but I think my wording in my search terms are not correct or... I don't know, because I just can't find what I'm looking for.
I want to know how to add multiple images into one file/one image, both horizontally and/or vertically. To give you an idea of what I mean, check out :
http://www.best10apps.com/apps/comic-story,531596060.html
If you scroll down, you'll see a heading entitled : Screenshots of Comic Story. Notice how there's 3 pictures (divided by borders). 2 of those pictures are side by side, and 1 of them is below the first 2 pictures.
I want to know how to add different pictures/images and put them into one picture.

One way is to create template PSD files and populate them with your images using Photoshops scripts.
Photo Collage Toolkit UPDATED June 12, added Picture Package Support via PasteImageRoll and BatchPicturePackage scripts.
The package includes four simple rules to follow when making Photo Collage Template PSD files so they will be compatible with my Photoshop scripts.
There are eleven scripts in this package they provide the following functions:
TestCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to test a Photo Collage Template while you are making it with Photoshop.
CollageTemplateBuilder.jsx - Can build Templates compatible with this toolkit's scripts.
LayerToAlphaChan.jsx - Used to convert a Prototype Image Layer stack into a template document.
InteractivePopulateCollage.jsx - Used to interactively populate Any Photo Collage template. Offers most user control inserting pictures and text.
ReplaceCollageImage.jsx - use to replace a populated collage image Smart Object layer with an other image correctly resized and positioned.
ChangeTextSize.jsx - This script can be used to change Image stamps text size when the size used by the populating did not work well.
PopulateCollageTemplate.jsx - Used to Automatically populate a Photo Collage template and leave the populated copy open in Photoshop.
BatchOneImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Collage templates that only have one image inserted. The Collage or Image may be stamped with text.
BatchMultiImageCollage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with images in a source image folder. Easier to use than the interactive script. Saved collages can be tweaked.
BatchPicturePackage.jsx - Used to Automatically Batch Populate Any Photo Collage template with an image in a source image folder
PasteImageRoll.jsx - Paste Images into a document to be print on roll paper.

Text issues merging multiple pdfs into one pdf

Hello, when I merge multiple pdfs into one pdf document my text is missing or garbled. I spent hours yesterday trying to figure this out, from insuring the text was embedded and print setting were correct. Please help!!
Using Adobe Pro 9.0
Thanks,
Faith

Acrobat Pro is the application you use for working with PDFs, making minor edits, combining multiple PDFs into a single file, extracting or replacing pages, doing fancier form work than ID has the ability to produce, and even creating PDF from a number of other file formats. I'm not sure your question about maintaining the quality of your photos is really applicable -- it would depend on how youare getting from the photo to PDF to begin with. The use of Acrobat in and of itself won't be the determiner.
That said, I couldn't live without Acrobat Pro in my workflow. Since you are on CS5.5 you have a couple of options. You could purchase a subscription to Creative Cloud (at a discount for the first year), which would give you access not only to Acrobat, but all of the other programs and tools included in the suite, but you pay a monthly or yearly fee, or you can buy a standalone perpetual license to either Acrobat Pro or Acrobat Standard (I didn't realize Standard was still an option, and you might not need all the features of Pro -- you can compare at http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobatpro/buying-guide.html).

Adding multiple users into one security group at one shot

Hi,
Is there any way we can add multiple users into one security group at one shot into PWA.
For example: I want 100 create 100 users in EPM and Providing them with custom define Team defined permissions and can I add Time sheet Manager as well while creating bulk user through resource template in Project server 2010.
Thanks,
Prashant

Hi Prashant,
In order to add users in a security group, you can open the group, select all the appropriate resources (pressing CTRL key) and add them to the group. There is no other easy way. Otherwise a powershell script could do the job.
For the timesheet manager, if all the 100 resources have the same timesheet manager, you can go to the resource center, select the resources (sorting by resource ID will give you together the latest resources added), bulk edit the resources and select the
timesheet manager for the selected resources.
Hope this helps,

IDVD - multiple slideshows into one

In IDVD how do I make multiple slideshows into one slideshow. I have never used this and I accidentally entered 300 pics as individual slideshows. How would I put all of them into one slideshow? I'm making a dvd for Christmas presents.

If you have more than 99 slides in a slideshow you will run into a noticable pause at the 99 to 100th slide transition, and at the 198 to 199 slide transition.
To make a slideshow with more that 99 slides that will play without the pauses the slides must be joined together in iPhoto for one large slideshow with the transition and background music of your choice. Then export it out of iPhoto as a Quicktime movie file and addes to the iDVD theme.
What version of iPhoto and iDVD are you using? It matters in how to export the slideshow out of iPhoto.

How do I scan multiple pages into one pdf document on a HP Envy 4501 Printer

My HP Envy 4501 Printer won't let me scan multiple pages into one pdf document.
I went to "Advanced Settings", clicked on "file" and made sure that the check box next to "Create a separate file for each scanner page" was unchecked.
When I clicked the Save button it showed the page that I scanned and showed 1/1. On the right side it had options for changing the brightness and Contrast, Rotate and Crop and "Back", "Save" and "Done" buttons, but nothing about scanning another page.
Not to mention HP's Customer Support is useless!
I'd appreciate any help I can get with this problem.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi BH,
I see your diagram. I just scanned something. The screen that I'm looking at right now shows the preview page and the scroll box to the left of that just like in your diagram. The screen does not show the + button nor does it show the red x button under the scroll box as in your diagram. I can't see the plus sign because it is not there.
I tried re-installing the software and drivers as you suggested but that did not have any affect.
Thank you for trying to help me with this problem but it hasn't worked, therefore I can't mark the reply "Accept as Solution".
I've noticed that on HP's support forum web page there is only 1 solved request for assistance. That doesn't give me much confidence in HP.
Please reply back to this post to let me know if there is anything else that I can try or if you know someone else at HP that can help.
If I don't here back from you, I'm returning this HP Envy 4501 Printer to get my money back to use it to buy a printer from one of HP's competitors.
Thanks,
Mark
