Using Adobe Captivate 6, how can I replicate the PPt text animations wherein I can float in timed?

Using Adobe Captivate version 6.0, I want to be able to do what I always could in PowerPoint - in a bulleted list, cause each bullet to float (or other animation) into place, establish a timing for each line.

To do this in Captivate, you need each bullet to be a separate text caption. You can then apply fly-in effects and time them to coincide with the voiceover. There's no way to make the bullets fly separately in if they are all in the same text caption.

Adobe Captivate 4 - How do I include the playbar in the movie, rather than below it?

Hi,
As the title says, how can I have the playbar displayed inside the movie window rather than as a seperate entity below it?
We used Captivate 1 up until recently to make our training videos. We would use the playbar "PresenterSilver" and then insert text boxes into the slides as a sort of guide as to what section the user was currently viewing. We would also use this to show the author and the date. A static image was used as a background also (this was created in Fireworks to look the same as the PresenterSilver background).
This setup worked fine for all our movies. However when we upgraded to Captivate 4 the PresenterSilver skin is no longer there. The playbar is also no longer part of the movie but is below the window.
I was wondering if it possible to include the playbar the way it used to be. If not, then can someone suggest a work-around? I was looking at it earlier and I see that you can use image files as backgrounds around the player. This is not ideal as I think that the images remain static for the entire movie. And we could not have a set image (e.g. Part 1 for slides 1-3, Part 2 for 4-6 etc.) for different slides, it would have to be the same the entire way through. If I am mistaken please let me know.
Thanks for your help,
Eoin.

Hi there
Unfortunately Adobe changed the playing field with version 4. You are no longer able to have the playbar occupy part of the main movie.
Please report this as a bug to the development team. The link is in my sig.
Cheers... Rick

Problems using Adobe Captivate 8

I have installed the trial version of Adobe Captivate 8 and when I open the program the following error appears:
"Invalid path for document_root [C:\\Users\M]: (No such file or directory). Make sure that path is either absolute, or it is relative to civetweb executable."
Then I press Ok and can work with Captivate, but when I try to preview the project, it doesn't seem ok, for example, the background becomes only a little square on the left top of the screen.
Note: I have windows 8.1.
Thank you.

Try creating a couple of special folders at the root level of your C drive that you can use for these Default Locations
Have one for the Publish folder at C:\_Captivate_Publish_Folder and another one for the Project Cache at C:\_Captivate_Cache_Folder (the underscore in front of the folder name just means it will be sorted to the top of all folders in your C drive and this will make it easier to find.
Once you have created the folders, click the Browse buttons beside the Publish At and Project Cache fields in Captivate Preferences and select these folders as the default locations.
See details in tip #7 here:
http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate-troubleshooting/basic-troubleshooting-tech niques
Also make sure that you are always launching Captivate with Run As Administrator permissions, and set these folders as trusted locations in your Flash Global Security settings.

Teething troubles with Using Adobe Captivate

Hello I have never used Adobe Captivate before, and would be grateful for some answers. I know people are very busy and may not want to deal with beginners but any comments suggestions partial tips will be gratefully appreciated
I am trying to do screen recording and run into difficulties. I want to record a short (<10min) video of an instructive tutorial that plays on the internet. This tutorial has slides, and it is advanced by hand (manually) to the next slide
I was able to record video correctly, using the "Full Motion" mode. But when I use the other 2 available modes: I.e,Automatic, and Manual, I am not able to record. What happens it, I merely get a still picture upon playback, that runs as a video for 3 seconds. It turns out somewhere in "settings" there is a default which says slide length =3sec. It looks like what I am getting recorded is a single slide, containing the very 1st scene. What have I done wrong?
What I need to record are slides, some of which contain video and speech, some containing video but no speech,some are stills. In the Full Motion Mode
The video is being recorded split into many bits , and these bits (slides) are unequal in length, the first slide being of longest duration, the last slide is of shortest duration. Should they not equal in length? Also how to convert into "normal" formats like AVI? What kind of media player would play these presentations/slide shows when each slide is a short video? Further I do not hear any audio.
Also what is panning
I am shunned because I am a woman and no one helps me with anything because I am supposed by a tacit rule to be with women ALL THE TIME and I am failing in what I am supposed to do. I have no means of using my brain or actively pursuing science and technology, and others in it will not speak to me because of my defiance of that rule. I hope some MAN who doesn't mind will volunteer answers and I promise not to bother you again. I won't speak to you again, I wont come ont his site again, I have women's numbers.I wil be very grateful if you help me
Thanking you,
Yours SIncerely,

Hi folks and welcome to our community Milliemachine3
All I can say is... wow! I'm not sure where you live, but it sounds sort of "stuck in time" if you are really made to feel like an outcast just because your body has different parts.
All that aside, I'll take a stab at answering your questions.

The only thing you have done wrong is to misunderstand how Captivate is used to record screen activity. How successful you will be will depend on the version of Captivate you have installed as well as what your operating system is. For example, if you have Windows 7 64 bit and you are trying to use Captivate 4 (or earlier) you will likely encounter problems. But if you were using Windows XP you would likely be fine.
You may also be misunderstanding exactly how Captivate records the screen.
What I need to record are slides, some of which contain video and speech, some containing video but no speech,some are stills. In the Full Motion Mode The video is being recorded split into many bits, and these bits (slides) are unequal in length, the first slide being of longest duration, the last slide is of shortest duration. Should they not equal in length? Also how to convert into "normal" formats like AVI? What kind of media player would play these presentations/slide shows when each slide is a short video? Further I do not hear any audio.
I'm not sure I've ever seen ANY software that does a flawless job of recording screen video where you are playing a video clip. You have to understand that video is usually memory and processor intensive. Not only for recording it, but also for playing it back. If you can, you will likely achieve your best result by locating the actual source file for the video and using that with Captivate. However, this somewhat depends on your Captivate version.
Also what is panning
Panning is a feature that allows you to record a smaller area of your screen. As you move the cursor around, the recording area is shifted to include parts of the screen that maybe weren't in the recording before. Maybe you are recording a 200x200 sized area. You are in the upper left corner of the screen performing some activity such as opening the File menu. But you move the mouse over to the right side to scroll the page. The recording would look as if you were peering through a small window and the larger area that was formerly hidden would appear in the window.
I am shunned because I am a *woman* and no one helps me with anything because I am supposed by a tacit rule to be with women ALL THE TIME and I am failing in what I am supposed to do. I have no means of using my brain or actively pursuing science and technology, and others in it will not speak to me because of my defiance of that rule. I hope some MAN who doesn't mind will volunteer answers and I promise not to bother you again. I won't speak to you again, I wont come ont his site again, I have women's numbers.I wil be very grateful if you help me
Well, I sincerely wish you the best in your Captivate journeys. Hopefully it will comfort you to know that what you are experiencing isn't a universal rule. I think women and men are equals. And anyone that believes differently has a very stilted view of the world.
Namasté... Rick

Robert,
It seems to be enough to create empty folders at “/System/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/1.6.0.jdk” and “/System/Library/Java/Support/Deploy.bundle”, to make Illustrator use Jave SE 8 as it should.
This way to get round the legacy JAVA requirement was presented by Kals in post #7 in this thread:

Setting up Rational Set Matrix Quizzes using Adobe Captivate 7

My Boss wants me to setup a quiz with 3 set levels of difficulty in Adobe Captivate 7, he wants 5 questions each in random order. The concept is if a question is answered correctly the student moves on to the next level. For example if Question a-1 is correct move to questions a2,b2,c2,d2,e2 in random order, if the answer is incorrect the student will go through level 1 until he/she has passed to move, if these are correct the student will move to the third level a3,b3,c3,d3,e3 in random order and they will have two try's per question but they must continue in the quiz until they have passed it. Then we will gather the data for the question attempts, time, average, and percentage.
Any Suggestion? I've been using Adobe Captivate 7 for 7 months,so I'm still learning.

I've never been asked to implement a quiz structured the way you describe, but if I WAS asked to do one, I would probably implement it using Quiz Question Pools and Randomised Question Slides.
Have one quiz pool for each different level. So A1,B1, C1, D1 quiz slides would all be added into Quiz Pool 1. Questions A2,B2, C2, D2 etc would be in Pool 2, etc.
Then you need to add however many Random Quiz Slides you need to allow for the maximum number of questions your learners will be exposed to in your course.
Captivate's Branch Aware feature allows your learner's score to be calculated based on ONLY the quiz question slides they actually visit.
So if you use Advanced Actions to control which specific Random Question Slides your learner gets to see (based on which questions they get right) their final score will only be based on those specific slides.
The tricky part of this may end up being the design of your branching. You need to set the On Success and On Last Attempt actions of each Randomised Quiz Question Slide to jump to another relevant Randomised Quiz Question Slide. As I understand your description, if the user gets a single level one question correct, then they should be jumped from then on ONLY to level 2 quiz questions, is that correct? If so, then you will need a user variable to track which quiz level they have currently achieved, and use this variable in conditional advanced actions attached to the On Success and On Last Attempt events of each question to determine where they go as a result.
Like I said, it's not newbie stuff. But if you want to learn more about how variables, runtime events, and conditional advanced actions work, here are some links:

http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate-advanced-actions/run-time-events
http://www.infosemantics.com.au/adobe-captivate-advanced-actions/conditional-actions
Since the main difference between each conditional action will be the actual slide jumped to, this might even be a case where Shared Actions could be useful:

Will you be delivering this content from an LMS? If so, then the LMS should handle the menu. Break your project into separate modules and use the Multi-SCORM Packager to create a bundled set.
If you are not using an LMS, but ARE serving content from a web server, then YES you could create a menu module that you use to launch the other modules.
If you are intending to serve this content from a LAN or CD ROM, then you could create a normal HTML web page with hyperlinks to launch individual modules.

To create a simulation tutorial of an iPad App using Adobe Captivate 08.

To create a simulation tutorial of an iPad App using Adobe Captivate 08.
The solution I got is to use Reflector App to mirror the iPad on to the PC and then record the screen. And to show user taps (essential for creating a simulation) through the reflector, NRTouchPoints, a UIWindow subclass that simulates user touches on the screen, has to be included in the application. Has anyone tried this out? Is this suggestion feasible?

After developing the .swf, I'm creating a .apk (Android application
package) file which includes the finished .swf file (at 720x1280), 3 icon
files (one of which is used as the button on the Android screen to start
the app), the required .xml file (which holds the necessary info on how
Android uses the .apk file).
The finished .apk file is then uploaded to the Android device using the adb
(Android Debug Bridge) commands in a command prompt.

When you make a DNG that's like making another raw file, so you will need to convert the DNG file just like your original raw. Don't use the Save button in the raw converter. That's just a link to the DNG converter. Normally you would click Open instead and then save in the editor as a jpg or other image format of your choice.

Your first going to have to remove all your personal data off the machine to a external storage drive, do not use TimeMachine when it asks as this will copy the entire drive and is unnecessary at this time (also takes too long).
You need to drag and drop copy your personal data folders (Music, Pictures, Movies etc) to a external storage drive, once done, unmount and disconnect this drive.

How to reinstall just OS X or erase/install OS X
10.7 requires your AppleID and password to install, so make sure to have that ready.
Once you reboot your into the real setup of OS X, which will require your name etc, so it's now your machine.
Install your programs, iLife package is only free for the owner of the machine.
If you have the 10.6 machine specific disks, then it's on there.
If your using 10.7, then you'll have to purchase it from the App Store.
Last, return your files from the storage drive, consider setting up a TimeMachine or clone on the external drive.
