Sound quality when publishing to .swf

HI All,
I am having a probem with a degrding sound quality when exporting to swf - converting to MP3 from WAV. I am using TTS for audio (not standard Captivate 4, which is terrible) but imported wav files from Acapela. While the original quality if wav files in quite good, the publshed swf sounds a bit of "heavy metal". I am using CD bitrate and encoding speed 1.
Is there something I could to to enhance sound quality?
Thanks

  • Poor sound quality when using air play

    How do I fix poor sound quality when using air play with my Denon receiver?

    I am not too sure if this is affected by BT software stack or RF design...
    iPhone 3G with FW 2.x provides Cisco VPN as well as Email support for corporate usage. However, it's weird that business man wouldn't want to use BT headset and talk to people... We are not asking about new feature support, like A2DP, but reliable, stable BT connection ONLY!!
    I've read that lots folks spent a lot of money on purchasing many different BT headsets and tried to get it work with iPhone 3G. I myself tried: Plantronics 510/815/855, Sony HBH-DS970/980, Nokia BH-903. None of them can work fine with my iPhone 3G ever! And iPhone 3G even cause BH-903 and DS-980 hang up after pairing or finishing call!!
    That's why I don't believe it's just a "SPECIAL CASE". How could a product FOR BUSINESS purpose get this kind of basic function problem?
    I hope we will find this issue could be resolved completely with new F/W, like Safari crash problem before. Other than this BT IOT problem, iPhone 3G is really the phone/companion could provide complete solution fulfill my personal and business needs.

  • Captivate 6:  Can't get any JavaScript to work when published as SWF

    Version 6.0.1.240
    Windows 7 x64
    I have a button with an action of "Execute JavaScript" and can't event get a simple alert("hello"); to work when published as SWF.  I've tried publishing it with each of the different Flash Player versions.  JavaScript works fine when published as HTML5.

    @Erickj:  Either do what Rod stated (adjusting your Flash Security settings) or test your content from a true web server.  Flash automatically trusts content coming off a true web server where the web address begins with http or https and ends in .htm or .html. 
    The nice thing about Cp 7 is that it has a built-in web server so you don't run into issues like this when testing your content.

  • Poor image quality when publishing to .mac

    This is very frustrating.
    I buy a high resolution, high quality, royalty-free image. I resize it and crop it in my image editing program and save it as a maximum size .jpg.
    I preview the image in Apple preview, and also drag the image into my web browser and it looks crisp and sharp.
    I put the image on my iWeb page and publish to .mac. I check my site and the image looks horrible! It looks as though it got compressed again on the lowest setting.
    Something very weird is happening to some people. I've read other discussion on this but they are all unresolved.
    I'm a graphic designer and I've used dreamweaver and published to other servers. I know about image quality and optimization. I'm doing the same steps and procedures I've always done to optimize images and I've never had this problem except when I publish to .mac.
    There is a very weird and serious issue going on and I hope someone can resolve this or has an answer.
    Why would an image look crisp and sharp when I view it in my image editing program or in Apple preview, but when publish to .mac it gets re-compressed?
    This may sound silly but do you think Apple is doing this randomly and automatically to users to save server space on .mac? Maybe they think people wont notice or care?
    I am very upset and frustrated and I can't think of any other reason why this is happening.
    Any advice is helpful. Thanks!

    James,
    Thank you very much for your help.
    Here is what I did. I used Apple grab and took a screen shot of my iWeb page where the low res graphic was in position.
    I used this as a "template" for cropping my original image in my image editing program to the exact size I needed.
    I cropped my original image to the size of my "grab" template, deleted the template layer and saved the sharp image as a maximum file size .jpg and placed it into my iWeb page, with "use original size". It fit perfectly in my layout and looked sharp and crisp.
    Now, I published my site and checked the image.
    You were correct! The image came out crisp and sharp, no more quality loss.
    To test your theory, I went back to iWeb and placed an iWeb mask around the same image and re-published it.
    Sure enough! The same image that was once sharp had terrible image loss.
    So I guess you're right, adding any effects to an image creates the image loss.
    Well, this is a terrible shame because I really like some of the border effects. For example, in a photo gallery, you can use an effect such as a slight page curl with drop shadow that appears only for the thumbnail image but the when you click on the image full size, there is no page curl, just the pure image.
    If I create this slight page curl effect and drop shadow in my image editing program, then both my thumbnail and full size image will have this effect.
    Not only that, but in order to get the thumbnail image to lay over my background color, I would have to re-create the page curl effect and place it on a border of the same background color as my page layout. When someone clicks on my thumbnail they will now get the full size image with the page curl effect and a slight border of the page color.
    Also creating this effect in my image editing program will make it more time consuming when I want to change layout styles, because when I create the page curl / drop shadow in my image editing program, I have to change the background color around each image to match the new background color I'm using for my page. Doing this for 20 images every time I want to change my design is allot of work.
    If this is what I have to do, then I have no choice. But at least I would like my thumbnail to have the effect but NOT my full size image.
    How do I do this so only my iWeb thumbnail image has this effect without iWeb forcing it to a PNG and loosing quality?
    Thanks I appreciate you help!

  • How do I improve sound quality when the sync property is set to "stream"

    I recently had a problem with timing text with sound (narrator). For example, when a user tapped a button a narrator would read text on the page and the words would highlight as the narrator read the words. The problem I ran into was that it performed well on the desk top but the timing was off on some mobile devices. So I set the sync to "stream" and it worked fine. But I ran into another problem; the sound quality went down, sounding muffled.
    How can I make the sound quality better when the sync property is set to "Stream"?

    you can control streaming sound quality in your publish settings which can override the sound quality settings that you can set by clicking the library sound's properties (right click/properties).

  • Sound quality when burning an iMovie to disc

    I just got iLife 9 and made a video using iMovie. The picture and sound quality on my computer are excellent; but when I burned the movie to a disc using iDVD the pictures remained high quality but the sound was poor. Any idea what might have caused the problem and what I can do to get better sound quality? Any help would be much appreciated.

    Problem found !
    Karls answer's helped me to findout the issue.
    Nevertheless, this wasn't the bug.
    When playing the movie in iMovie HD, sound rendering is not correct. When you burn your DVD, sound track is calculated to mix every sound tracks according to each sound volume curve defined in iMovie.
    If you see a dot at the beginning of a sound track this mean that the DVD sound rendering will be incorrect.
    Clean the and make sure that, when you select a sound object, you can change its volume by adjusting it, not manually, but using the general volume cursor. If not, you have a problem. Remake a perfect flat volume curve before adjusting it again.

  • Continue / Retake Quiz buttons act differently when Publishing in SWF vs SWF/HTML5

    Hi, I use Captivate 7 and when I compare what I publish as SWF/HTML5 with SWF only it seems that there are 2 issues with the SWF/HTML5  site on Chrome (also on Safari)
    Issue 1
    I have 1 quiz on a course and I have set the Quiz setting to require a Pass to continue. I put the "Retake" Quiz button over the "Continue" button so it covers the continue if the person fails and will show the continue button only if the person passes. (I had also changed the Caption on the Continue button to say Print Certificate)
    This works when I publish the course as SWF only. When I publish as SWF/HTML5 and view on Chrome/Safari then when the person fail it seems that the "continue" button still shows and makes the "retake quiz button" transparent or behind the continue button. If the person passes then it works fine.
    Issue 2
    In the same example if click the "continue" button several time it the website continues even though the person had failed
    Not sure if anyone has found this an issue or has a better way for not making the Continue button to appear if the person has failed.
    My objective was that there was a Certificate document after the quiz and if the person passes then they can go get the Certificate. If they fail then they cannot go tto the next slide to get the certificate. Maybe there is a better way to do this ?
    thanks
    Hatim

    OMG, just checked it out and you are right: the Review button appears always on top of the Retake button. Please, log a bug report, will do as well. This is really very annoying because the terminology can be confusing,
    For SWF I found a workaround: change the stacking order in the Results Master slide, send the Review button Back. That seems to work. But for HTML5-output, no way... Review is always on top of Retake. I also played with unchecking, and rechecking but cannot find a solution.

  • Some of my WMA files have poor sound quality when transferred to my

    I just got the 60 GB Zen and have been busy loading it up with my music. I have all my CDs ripped onto my computer in WMA format and have been transferring them to the MP3 player. The strange thing is that some of the CDs transferred with very poor quality and others are fine. They all sound great when played off the computer. There is no pattern to which ones sound scratchy and slow (some were ripped from actual CDs and others were burned copies). Has anyone else experienced this? What can I do to fix it's Thanks for your help.

    I think all of the CDs were accidentally ripped with the protections on. I will try again without and see if that fizes anything. I will let you know how it works out.

  • Sound quality when exporting

    I've tried every setting i know, but the exported sound quality compared to the sound quality on the original mix is SO much worse. Not only does it sound tinty but the levels from instrument to instrument are changed... I've tried to compress in highest quality, no compression at all, and I've changed the preferences setting to best quality; but nothing seems to work. Right now i'm very disappointed in the program because of this. I hope i'm just missing something. Can someone please give me some tips?? Thanks

    Are you listening to your exported file in iTunes? Then you should turn off the EQ and the "Sound Enhancement" option in iTunes to hear the song as it is. If you're not happy with the audio level, it is a good idea to turn off the automatic normalization in GB's audio preferences and max out the level manually.

  • Sound lost when publishing to Youtube

    Using Adobe Captivate Video Publisher to post a project to YouTube goes through the following steps:
    1) Saving SWF file
    2) Generate video
    3) Accept terms and provide youtube login
    4) Upload video
    My questions:
    1) where does the Publisher application store the video file generated before it is uploaded? I'd like to examine that file. Cancelling the process after generating the video just closes the Publisher application without giving any indication of where the file might be.
    2) The youtube movie generated has no audio, even though the project has audio and publishing to SWF preserves the audio (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRcS3G3-aIY). Anyone else ran into this problem?
    About the project:
    The project is a recorded demonstration with one widget (http://www.cpguru.com/domainlock-widget-for-adobe-captivate/) and one Advanced Action (cpCmndPause=1 on Exit last slide). There is no other interaction, so I figured the Video Publisher would strip these two features and publish the project without incident.
    EDIT: I am using Captivate 7

    I thought maybe oen workaround to getting the narration audio into the YouTube movie would be to export the audio from within Captivate, then add it to the video from within the YouTube video management panel. The problems with this approach are:
    1) This is an extremely inefficient way to publish the video to YouTube
    2) The audio will probably be out of sync with the video
    3) Within the Advanced Audio Mangement tool in CP7, I don't see a way to export the project audio as a single file. Rather I can export individual slide audios, which I would have to do for 100 or 150 slides for each project; not practical.

  • How do I keep the action created in Flash (.fla) the same when published in .swf or .html?

    I created a complex fixed line and a bird flying on the line using tweens from point A to B to C.  When I view the birdline in play or by scrubbing across them in the layers mode, the bird follows the line just as designed.  When I test the birdline in "test Scene" or "test movie" one bird flies from point A to C, then another bird appears at point B and flies the course to point C.  The published .swf and .html do the same as the test functions.  What can I do to get the published version to behave the same as the design?

    Rob,
    Thanks for your response.  There are no error messages in the test functions, and no alerts in the keyframes.  They show green.
    Attached you will find both the .fla file and the .swf file.  I am new at this, so your help is greatly appreciated.

    PS- I am sitting in Sweden right now.  So I am off to bed and will be back on line in the morning.  Please forgive the delay in my response.

  • All .swf audio plays on slide 1 when published as swf file!

    Help!
    I am trying to publish a series of projects (seven) as swf files to upload to moodle for a CBT course.  This is my first time ever using Captivate in this way and when I go to view the outputs using a web browser, all of the audio for the imbedded flash files in the project plays on top of each other on the first slide.  They will also play as they are supposed to during the course, but it's very annoying.
    When I publish the project as a standalone file, everything works flawlessly.  What is causing this and how can I fix it?  I must also state that I outsourced the flash work and know next to nothing about flash, so any help you give that might involve that piece, I will have to pass on to the flash developer.
    Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
    EDIT: Captivate 3.0.1  Not sure what version of Flash.

    Was there ever a typing text object anywhere in your project that you delete at one time? I remember from Cp3 that when it would capture a typing text animation from a capture session, that you could never truly delete the object from the slide, only hide it (not sure if it's the same in Cp4, I recently jumped to Cp5).
    When in doubt, I would do Insert > Blank Slide, then re-create the audio/objects from your current slide 1 and insert/paste onto the blank slide, then blow away the problematic slide 1, then republish and see if that helps!

  • Masking unwanted objects when publishing a .swf

    Hi
    I maybe missing the point or simply not ticking a tick box, but can someone help me please?
    I've created a web banner for one of my publications that I work on (please find at the following address http://images.samedanltd.com/gsky/images/GreenSky_160x600.swf). As you can see I have some aircraft flying away from the tree at the bottom, what I would like to happen that they dissappear  when they pass the keyline. I had thought that if I continued the animation onto the pasteboard that when it came to publishing, flash would ignore items this grey area and would act as a trim, am I correct in thinking this? How would I go about correct this so that only the animation within the set parameters appear?
    Also is there a way of setting the scale of a flash banner? I have a feeling that this is so simple, but just can't find the panel to set it all.
    Many thanks
    Jean-Philippe

    Hi Jean Philippe,
    You need to mask it out.
    Just start a new layer.
    Change the properties of that layer to mask.
    On that layer draw a rectangle, the same size (dimensions) as your fla.
    Rverything under the mask layer will be seen. Stuff outside the mask boundaries will be invisible.
    Hope that helps

  • Flash CS4 crashes when publishing big SWF that previously were working fine

    Hi all,
    This is driving me crazy, I tried looking into Adobe FAQs and other places inside this site but cant find a good solution to this, in fact I found people asking the same issue. The fact is Im making a game that after being published is 7Mb SWF, this was working great and in fact I havent made any critical change there, only updated a text field with a typo (no code), then when I tried to publish it crashed (other big games I made are making Flash crash too), and crashes the same when hitting CTRL+ENTER or just selecting File>>Publish or File>>Publish settings>>Publish, I reinstalled the whole CS4 6 or 7 times and even got a tool from here to uninstall the player (I thought it uninstalled the player used from IDE but its apparently the browser plugin) asuming the issue could be there but still keeps crashing after I re-install it, oddly small FLA files can be published, I looked into CS5 faqs and I have seen they can set the cache size there but I cant find in CS4, and Im unsure if is due to that but just my guess after all I read about this, could someone help me please? Thanks a lot beforehand, I have been fighting this for 4 days almost sleepless
    Im only using as2 code in these projects I meantioned, and I have Windows Vista on this machine, just if this helps to solve it, again, thanks for any clue
    Edit: Im unsure if this is the right section or not, please receive my apologies if its wrong place as maybe this is intended for only code doubts but I couldnt find the right section to ask it so please move it to the appropiate place when you can and Im sorry for the trouble

    Well my friend, you saved me here =), that final advice you gave was the solution, I followed the steps, deleted the registry keys and deleted the folders with the preferences, then I reinstalled over the damaged Flash Pro version and it worked again!!, I even managed to recover my workspace with the folder I saved before, dont know why I never got a dialog to reset preferences in the middle of this process as you mentioned and as is said in the article, but the important is that it worked, and finally the Flash Pro is able to publish the mentioned as2 projects, takes a bit of time to publish but it was never too fast with bigger projects.
    I owe you one, I would like to include a link to your site in the game as a way to thank you for this, but if you feel its wrong or you prefer any other way to show how much I thank you for this please let me know
    The link I would like to add can be seen here in the game tittle screen and "About" section

  • POOR Photo Quality when Published in Captivate

    We are creating a simple slideshow in Captivate with
    background music. We import JPG images on to slides. Images look
    great on the slide editing view. But, when you preview and/or
    publish, the image resolution is very pixelated and not acceptable.
    Please help!

    Hi cathmar
    Places to look. Check the Project Settings by clicking Edit
    > Preferences... > Project node > Settings node.
    Play with the values for BMP and JPEG image quality.
    In addition to that, select all the slides in either the Film
    Strip or the Storyboard view and examine properties. Play with the
    Quality setting there.
    Cheers... Rick
