Adobe Captivate Help | Record video demonstrations

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

Hi Nirupama,
Before recording, choose the recording resolution as Youtube Widescreen HD and that should capture it in the right resolution.
And while publishing the recorded CPVC project, choose the HD resolution or customize the publishing quality settings -- Choose High Profile, and Encode using Bitrate, use the Highest possible Bitrate value. You are free to customize any othe value as well.
Thanks,

Is there any other way to get Adobe Captivate help?

Hi guys,
is there any other way to get Adobe Captivate specific help? I've posted a question twice with no help, it's very specific, so no one here might actually know the solution. I'm wondering though, since the chat is obviously not for Captivate users with product or service questions.
Is there a tech team I can somehow contact? We really need an answer to the problem.
Thanks,
Nat
P.S. I'll post the problem again here:
We publish mp4 training videos as HTML5 content and have the problem that we need to restrict the player to only play/pause.
Adobe Captivate 7 works fantastic for us on almost all devices, many Androids, many browsers, and even on iPad. Captivate, after adding the video as a multi-slide video to one slide and publishing it as HTML5 content, only lets the student play and pause the video - just what we need.
But then we test it on iPhone and the iPhone's internal quicktime player recognizes the mp4 video and kicks in, gives the student all the functions they want, totally overrides the HTML5 published Captivate restricted playback options.
Is there ANY way we can get around that? Any function or box we haven't checked before publishing the HTML5 content?
We would even be happy, if the video wouldn't play on iPhone - just as long as they can't use it to fast forward to the end of the video.
Does anyone here know how to bypass the internal iPhone 5 player?
Thanks,
Nat

By the way, I have updated to the newest Captivate 7 version and am using iOS version 7.0.4.
Again, it's fine on iPad, but not on iPhone 5.

Adobe Presenter 8 Record Video option

I'm getting a error message 'Application is already running' every time I try to use the Record Video option. I end the task in Task Manager, but that doesn't seem to help.
What's causing this and how do I get the Record Video option to work? I'm trying to record what's on my monitor.
Thanks!

Hi,
Just to confirm, what process are you killing in the task manager.
Is it powerpoint.exe or Adobe-Pr-VC.exe. You need to kill the latter.
If this the case, try closing all the applications and re-start your system.
Was the app working earlier ?
Thanks,

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 | System audio (for subscription and Adobe Software Assurance customers only)

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

I have just a "regular" copy of Captivate CS6 Mac version running OS 10.7.5 bought the box so it isn't a subscription. I'm trying to record a video that has an audio track with it I tried using "record new software simulation" as shown by by Dr. Allen Partridge above. In this video he has an option in his audio preferences that I do not have, namely the check box "system audio". Is this wonderful option ONLY for subscriptions or ASA's? If so WHY? If not what do I need to do in order to record the video WITH the audio?

Can't turn off Adobe Captivate 4 recording session

I'm looking for a program to recreate some of our company CBTs that where done in Authorware. I was told to look into Captivate. I now have the trial version and I can not get past a recording session it wants me to delete so that I can record again. I've tried all the hotkeys and nothing works. The Windows XP I am running is on Mac Parallel. I'm sure this is a problem and conflict with Mac hotkeys, but most, if not all hotkeys, have a real command on some kind of drop down. Where is it? If I can't take this app for spin, I'm going to move on to something else.
John Hillenbrand

Hi there
If you look in the Windows System Tray, you should see an icon that may be clicked to end the session. Or, you could click Edit > Preferences... and navigate to the Recording node then the Keys node. There you should be able to assign a different key used to end the recording.
If for some reason that fails, please do report the issue to Adobe as a bug.
Cheers... Rick

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!!

Adobe Captivate Help | Shared actions (Cp 7)

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

In the Help-document about Shared Actions this described work flow 'To apply the same shared action to multiple objects, group them and then apply the action." seems not to be functional. For a group or for a selection of objects (of the same type) the option 'Execute Shared Action' is grayed out, only a normal action seems to be possible. Is this a bug in the documentation?

Adobe Captivate 5 - Recording Issues

I have recently put together a 15 question quiz using Captivate 5 and am having issues with what it records at the back end. I have checked the forum and can find an answer to my question however this was posted back in 2010 and I didn;t even have Captivate installed at that point so don't think this is the issue. I have checked my quiz preferences a number of times to ensure that I have them set correctly and I can;t see anything wrong with them at all however, the course still reports a score out of 150 points, so for example, on my forst attempt I answered 8 out of 15 questions correct and the final page of the quiz told me I had scored 53% yet a score of 80 points was sent back to the learning system. Can anyone please help?

Hello and welcome,
I have no longer 5 on my machine (only 5.5, 6.1 and 7.0.1) but did you check the Advanced Interaction panel (F9)? It will show you all scored objects and the maximum possible score. Maybe you have scored objects as well as question slides.
Some LMS's don't accept scores above 100. Can you either ty to lower the score per question (10 to 5) and/or send percentage instead of total score? 80/150 is 53%, so the score sent is consistent with the values of the quizzing system variables you are seeing on the score slide. Maybe just confusion between % and points?

But when I go into imovie and click record with isight there is no sound, And when I try to do a magic movie it is always searching for a camera. Please help! All I wan't to do is play my instrumental track in the background and sing to it while recording. Thanks

Did You look into the System pref and the icon Sound ?
Here You select Sound-in. Does it read from Mac internal microphonee or external

• Go up Left hand corner "Apple" down to System Preferences

Need help recording Video over pre-recorded Audio

I'm making a music video, the audio has already been recorded, but I am having such a hard time trying to figure out how to record the video over it. I need to be able to hear the audio track while recording so I can sync it properly, but whenever I click on the 'Open Camera Import Window' button, it doesn't allow you to playback the audio. What is the easiest way I can go about this?
PS. If my question is vague or unclear, I'm sorry. Every person I have asked said they had no clue what I was asking.

Hi Rick,
Thank you for your response.....I have always done this process using other software for the videos....so the process here is different for me.
I pre record the audio first, then edit to remove all of the terrible sounds...breathing, mispoken words, etc...clean up the audio, then add a background music track all in Audacity. Then, I add that track in and record my video over it. I am creating a tutorial for a software company on how to use their software.
This may seem backward. My question now, I am in Captivate 7, I press video demo and it goes straight to recording the video before I have a chance to import the audio track. I need the audio track so I can get the video to follow the audio...if that makes sense.
Cheers...Robert
