Adobe Captivate 6 -- Adding audio to video

Hello --
How do I add audio to a video I imported into Adobe Captivate 6? The videos actually already have audio, but I would like to record over them with my voice.
Thank you!
Ryan

Adding audio to Video Demo: Captivate 7

Hello, i have several questions about working with audio in a video demo in Captivate 7.
I have a video demo that was captured without audio, then the intended script changed signifigantly so the timing is way off (sometimes the video doesn't hold on a screen long enough for the narrator to finish talking, sometimes it holds too long).
Any tutorials out there for adding audio after the video demo is recorded, when the timing is all off and I need to hold on some frames longer than the movie does? I'm doing still screen grabs and inserting them as images for the duration of the hold, but there's got to be a better way!
Is there any way to add text-to-speech in the Video Demo (other than adding it in slide notes, exporting the audio file and then importing it to the background of the video demo?)
When adding audio to a Captivate 7 video demo, is it better to add it to the video (Edit Video Demo > Audio > Import to > Background) or to add it to the slide in the regular timeline? Pros/Cons? Best practice?
Thanks!

Are you un-checking "Edit Volume" before you play it?

Hi Sue, Thanks for your help, I am new to the Mac, so forgive me if I am slow!
I cannot find "Edit Voume".
I can find "Show clip volume" in the "View menu" is that the same thing?
Thanks for your help. Chatch

Adding Audio and Video Content to EPUB from InDesign CS5.5 | CS5.5 Design Premium Feature Tour | Adobe TV

In this episode, Colin Fleming shows how simple it is to embed audio and video content in InDesign CS5.5 for export to EPUB.
http://adobe.ly/xT0jKh

I have placed audio and video into InDesign. I did it just exactly the way this video told me. Everything works well in the preview panel. However, when I exported it to EPUB, the file of the EPUB is so small (I guess, it should have been larger because I had added video and audio file into it). Plus, When I open it in EPUB reader (ibook) and Adobe Digital Edition, It shows nothing.
What I want to do is to create an EPUB which contains image, and sound. I want to make the image as a button which plays sound when I click it. I did it by setting he button to play when clicked, but again, it is not showing at all when published to EPUB.
I hope that there will be a good solution to this matter.
Thank You.

Adding audio to video

I captured separate files for audio and video in Final Cut Pro and now I want to join them in iMovie '08.
The video imported correctly but when I try to drag or import the audio file, iMovie says the "file is not compatible with iMovie". The audio kind is QuickTime Movie (.mov) and the Codec is Integer (Big Endian).

The video imported correctly but when I try to drag or import the audio file, iMovie says the "file is not compatible with iMovie".
if audio is iMovie '08 compatible, transfer it to iTunes and access it in iMovie '08 via the iTunes browser.

I would like to see a built-in way of adding audio and video files.

As it is, you have to rely on third-party solutions for adding mp3 audio files and video to Muse sites. Thanks

Hi,
I tried to reproduce what you were getting by building a simple VI but I havent had much luck (I have attached the VI).
Could you post your code so that I can take a look at it?

Adding audio without video

When I drag in an audio clip iWeb sees it as a video clip and wants to add a photo. Does anyone have a way to add audio only without making it an .mov file?
Thanks!

There are some other ways of displaying your tracks...
http://www.iwebformusicians.com/MusicPlayers/MP3iFrame.html
Method 1 helps to stop people stealing your tracks.
If you insist on using QT for music tracks, make sure you give the download link as a lot of PC users don't have QuickTime Player installed.

Re: Adding Audio To Video

Well i can think of only the data source type problem causing a IncompatibleSourceException.
Anyways post your code here.

Yes, you were right. The Exception IS a NoPlayerException. Basically I end up with a DataSource with a content descriptor of application.mixed which it can't find a player for. Which I guess is understandable. I'm not sure it's necessary, but my code is below

               m_playerMaster = (MediaPlayer)Beans.instantiate(cl,"javax.media.bean.playerbean.MediaPlayer");
          catch(Exception e) {
               System.out.println("Can't create MediaPlayer");

          try {

Adobe Presenter - audio and video

Could someone please tell me the difference between adding
audio and video to a PP presentation via PowerPoint vs. importing
and adding audio and video using the Presenter tab?
Also, I'm looking for a list of things that won't work when
publishing. For example, I noticed that animations, slide
transitions and QuickTime movies won't work after publishing.
Thanks SO much.
Leona

Check out the documentation on Presenter -- there are some
very specific ways you need to add audio (use "Record Audio" or
"Edit Audio" in the Presenter menu) and video (use "Insert video"
in the Presenter menu).
Powerpoint has facilities to do these things as well, but
Presenter won't be able to publish them, from what we've
determined.
For animations, again, read the documentation carefully --
all your animations have to be set to "On Click" or "With Previous"
-- i.e., they can't be timed animations. Again, Presenter won't be
able to translate these timed animations -- you must "click" them
into view (you do this as you're recording audio with "Next
Animation", or you can do it after recording audio using
"Synchronize Audio").

Audio and Video out of sync in PPCS6.0.3

I imported a video clip into Adobe Premiere Pro CS 6.0.3.   I noticed that the video and audio are out of sync.   I played the video file through Windows Media Player and the audio/video are in sync.
However at 8min42sec, I noticed that the video becomes garbled but the audio track is fine.   The entire video clip is about 10min24sec.
I would like to trim the video file at the 8min42sec.   However everytime, I import it into Adobe Premiere, the audio and video are out of sync.   I wonder if Premiere is trying to stretch the video track to compensate.    Is there a way to import the video clip without having Adobe Premiere manipulating it.   Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks

SWF in IE has Project Created by Adobe Captivate 7

When someone attempts to play an swf in Internet Explorer a small box appears with " Project Created by Adobe Captivate 7" and the video won't play
Anyone know why this might occur?

I have seen this error if AS2 content (Flash animations containing AS2 actionscript) was imported into Captivate 7. Check that you don't have any AS2 content in your project and also check that you didn't select an AS2 based preloader by mistake (only relevant if you have earlier versions of Captivate installed).

Adobe Captivate 7 Project How to make Rollover cations, audio, and video work in HTML format?

Honestly, I don't even know why this is an option. The conversion to Flash is completely unusable.
I have exported some things to Flash, and since I program in Flash all the time I was able to manipulate to work to some degree. Most text captions are built with multiple elements and completely fall apart.
Sorry, I can't be of more help.

Captivate 5.5 Software simulation video crashes when adding audio recording

I run Windows 7 and Adobe captivate crashes after trying to start a audio recording in software simulation. My simulation is ready and the moment, I click the "record audio" button, the application freezes and I have to go to end the application via Task Manager.
Solution approaches:
I have started Captivate as administrator and that didn't help.
I have then tried to look up my preferences but didn't find any files which i could identify as preferences.
I have already tried the solution in the Note below (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/759455)
Help please.
Thanks,

I am having similar issues, but with the internal speach generator. I have both simulation and demonstration videos. I was able to enter text and convert to Paul's voice without issue, but the minute I tried to add closed captions Captivate totally locked up. And now when I try to do any sort of audio edit, no matter which method of access to the audio (using Audio - Audio Management or Audio - Speech Management or the Add/Edit Audio buttons in the Properties window or using the Closed Caption button in the Slide Notes tab or double click the audio wave file in the Timeline tab) Captivate totally locks up. I was originally able to create 1 file with closed captions but now it also locks up when I try to edit and no other file will let me add CC or use the Audio edit features.
Captivate 5.5, Windows 7; run captivate as admin or not - no difference. Run captivate on my primary or secondary monitor - no difference; run captivate with or without other applications open - no difference.
When I force close using Task Manager I did get a CpDump file that was created. Not sure what to do with that...I submitted a bug but have heard nothing back.
I did follow the steps in the earlier referenced link about deleting the preferences. I also did not find a specific file/folder labeled preferences but my IT group said it was OK to delete the entire final folder in the referenced chain (Captivate 5). Once I did that, I had access to my Closed Captions again and could edit the audio.

Adobe Connect 9 Training Course Video gets resized after being published from Captivate 6

Hello!
I have an FLV that I have published to Adobe Connect 9 from Adobe Captivate 6.
I have set the size of the video to the dimensions that best display the FLV with player controls.
However, when I publish to Adobe Connect 9, the video is resized to a smaller size and looks heavily pixelated.
Is there a way to keep the dimensions and quality without Adobe Connect 9 resizing it?
Here are the settings in Captivate 6:
Here is the first screen for the preferences:
Here is the second screen in Preferences:
Here is what it looks like when viewed from Captivate 6 in a web browser:
Here is what it looks like after it has been published and uploaded into the training in Adobe Acrobat 9:
If you notice in the image above the video is smaller and the CMS logo is very pixelated due to Adobe Connect 9 resizing it.
I am not sure how to keep the dimensions that I have from Captivate 6 and have it reflect after it has been published to Adobe Connect 9.
And is there more functionality that I am not able to access since I am using a 30-Day trial.
Thanks for taking the time to read and assist!
Angelo

You are correct that this is a known issue. There was a fundamental change to the way objects are added to the timeline that came in with Cp6. The result is that objects such as your SWF animations are only loaded at the time they are added to the timeline, and this causes the slide flickering you witness. There's not really a lot you can do to get rid of it other than rebuilding all of your animations to be a single animation that once loaded will continue unabated until finished.

Adobe Captivate 7- Event Video not connecting & Web Object not working

Greetings all. I hope you may be able to assist me. I am subscribed to Adobe Captivate 7. I am running Windows 7 on a 32 bit computer. The system is set up on a business network and I have verified the installation of Captivate is accurate and up to date.
I am experiencing an issue:
1. When adding an Event Video (Video> Insert Video> Event Video> Already deployed to a web server...) using the URL I received the following message: "Failed to load the video file. The file path or URL may be invalid..." This HTML file path leads directly to the video on our internal shared docing port.
Currently, the only way I can add a video is to use the Muti-Slide Synchronized Video option. I do not like using this option because there are no play or stop buttons. The video simply plays with no option to pause.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Angelique

Hello and welcome,
Is Captivate installed on the network? That can cause a lot of problems, same as when you have My Documents installed on the network. Please have both on your system. Moreover, do launch it as an Administrator?

Adobe Captivate Help | Insert audio

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/using/insert-audio.html

From the manual:
"You can attach an audio file to a button or click box and have the audio play when the user clicks the button or click box instead of when the button or click box is displayed. To do this, create the button or click box and select the Success Caption option. Make the Success Caption transparent and do not add any text. Add an audio file to the Success Caption."
Is this the method for adding audio to a smart shape, click box, or any other element? If so, I got as far as the last sentence: "Add an audio file to the Success Caption." That's what I want to know how to do -- add audio so that when a little smart shape is clicked, it plays a sound. I don't know why I'm having such a hard time finding the instructions for something so basic.
Any help appreciated!!
