Animating a list of bullet points in Captivate 6 -- How?

Hello,
I have a list of 8 bulleted items in a single text caption on several of my slides. I would like each of the points to appear one at time and sync them with the Neo Voice that will be presenting each of those points. Is there a way to animate each of these points (no crazy animation -- just simply appear) without making each of them a separate text captions? My biggest problem with making them each a separate caption is lining them up perfectly so that they are directly underneath each other and have the same amount of spacing between them....
Thanks for any help!!
Ryan

No way to do that with one text caption.
But about lining up and distributing the text captions: are they all 'oneliners'?
In that case: create the first text caption and put it in the wanted location. Then follow this routine to create the second one:
duplicate the first text caption with CTRL-D
use the sequence SHIFT-LEFT and SHIFT-UP: now the two captions are exactly in the same location
use shortcut key SHIFT-DOWN to move the second caption down until you have the wanted place, and try to remember the number of times you used the shortcut
If you repeat this for each following caption they will all be aligned perfectly and distributed.
If they are not all oneliners, then choose the biggest text caption (in height), co-select all the others and:
use the right-click menu to resize them all to the same size (Align, Resize to same size) or if you are a click-click user open Window, Align, all buttons you need are there
use the Align toolbar (Window menu) or the right click menu to align them left
put the bottom one as low as possible, and use menu or toolbar to distribute them vertically

Bullet points in Captivate 5.5 and 6.0

I have not been able to get adequate support or an acceptable solution to this persistent problem so I'm posting it here hoping for some help.
Image 1 is the original PowerPoint where the bullet points are spaced properly:
Image 2 is taken after presentation has been importaed into Captivate:
Thanks in advance.

Hi there,
In Captivate 6 when you import a pptx file (if it is ppt in your case save it as pptx) you will see an option High Fidelity in the PowerPoint Import Dialog. Check that option & import the pptx.
The bullets issue you mentioned here should not happen with High Fidelity import.
Let us know your observations and if your problem is solved.

List's bullet points displyaing beyond table cell

Just need a little workaround / fix for a styled list -

beyond the table cell they're in :

Any ideas to fix this?

Set the margin and the padding for the ul to zero.

Unordered list not showing up as indented bullet points within Accordian

http://www.foundationforyoutharts.org/test/Programs.html
I have a page using the spry accordian, and about five different catagories of information. Some of the copy is in unordered lists (in martial arts catagories), but it shows up as as regular text. Any ideas on how to make it view as a typical unordered list with bullet points and indented?
Thanks for taking time to look at this.

Add a margin-left of 20px to your ul.
Either added it in your stylesheet. or directly on the element:
<ul style="margin-left:20px">

Bullet point lists -- with spaces beetween each bullet?

Hi everyone,
I was wondering if anyone knew how to set it so that I can make a list of bullet points and have it automatically double space between each bullet point but leaving the text within each point as single spaced.
I hope this makes sense?
As far as I can tell, it only allows me to set double spacing for the entire document, not just for each bullet point.
Would be very grateful if someone could help me tweak this.

Select your list and then in the Text Inspector, Text tab, increase the "After Paragraph" spacing.

Need some hand-holding and bullet point direction

ok, i need some help. We shoot our church services on Sony PDW-700 HD XDCAMS. We shoot in 420 HQ (whatever that is). Once we finish shooting the service, we pull the source video off of the XDCAM disk using the Sony XDCAM transfer utility. I believe we end up with a .mls file. We then edit the source and send it to compressor and then to DVD studio pro and it gets burned to a standard DVD. What we end up with is a video with artifacts in it. What I mean by artifacts is wavy lines around the edges of movement.
What I need to know, from step 1 to step whatever, is HOW to get the source from FCP to DVD w/out artifacts. It seems that we should be able to produce a DVD that looks better than ours and w/out the wavy lines around the edges of moving objects.
What I'm looking for is something like this:
When we open FCP, are there any preferences we need to have set before we import our source or will FCP adjust our project settings to match our source?
When done editing, do we need to do anything special when we send it to compressor?
Once in DVDSP, what do we need to be doing to make sure it comes out looking it's best.
I realize I am asking a lot here, but we're not novices. We understand things like the format of our media, etc. We're looking for a list or bullet point process to get from Media to DVD and have it look it's best.
Thank you
Cliff

If you have any doubts regarding the format you shot,
look in the Browser, control-click the media file, and select Item Properties > Format.
That will tell you exactly what FCP thinks you're using.
Note that if Field Dominance is None, your clip is progressive.
In the future, you should ask your camera crew to shoot progressive.

Creator: QT Player
Source: HD 2:XDCAM
Vid Rate: 29.97 fps

Compressor: XDCAM HD 1080i60 (35 mb/s VBR)
You may want to simplify the workflow by setting your sequence up first.
Before you create any sequences, choose menu item > Easy Setup,
and choose one of the XDCAM presets.
• Chose Sony XDCAM HD
• Choose HDCAM HD 1080i60 VBR
• Choose framerate 20.97
Once you do this, all new sequences will have that format.
If you've set your sequence up correctly, dragging a clip to the sequence will not produce this:
For best performance, your sequence and external video should be set to the format
of the clips you are editing. Change sequence settings to match clip settings?
If you click yes, you are not transcoding. You are setting the sequence format to be the same
as what you shot.
The bottom line is that when you set the sequence to match the footage,
you should be able to play the footage without rendering. Of course,
once you start editing and adding transitions, rendering may become
necessary. Check out the note on rendering to ProRes 422 in this article:
http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/ex1_sd_outputyoung.html
Although he's talking about going from XDCAM EX to a PAL DVD,
most of the principles apply. In particular:
• Set Rendering preferences to ProRes 422, i.e.
Sequence Settings > Render Control > Render > Codec
• Do your HD edit.
• When it's time to convert to SD (step 2 in the article) create a new sequence
with the settings NTSC Anamorphic. This will preserve the nice wide-screen look
of the original footage even when played on an SD DVD.
• Step 4 of the article: choose NTSC anamorphic.
If your footage was shot interlaced, choose field dominance lower (even).
The compressor is NTSC, and the frame rate is 29.97.
In the advanced compression settings, note that it should be 16:9,
and Progressive if you're shooting or converting to progressive.
Check out the last section of this article:
http://www.lafcpug.org/features/featurekeeping_thejob.html
where field dominance is discussed in more detail.

Animating bullet points on a single slide

I have a slide with 4 bullet points on.
How do I progress the bullets by clicking play and having the slide automatically advance to reveal the next bullet and pause before showing the bullet after that. Like you would build in Keynote or PowerPoint
I can do this over 4 individual slides but that seems ridiculous in this day and age.
Please help.
Many Thanks
John

Thanks for your help.
Of course I wouldn't dream of using this level of software without some training. My first port of call before I even signed up for the trial was Lynda.com. I subscribe to that site and have always been impressed with their work. I did over 5 hours with 'Adobe Captivate 8 Essential Training' and 'Captivate Projects: Mobile and Responsive Design' I then revisited them after I started the trial and have been revisiting then frequently for the past two days. Good courses I thought!
There are all sort of bugs in AC8 that are both frustrating and surprising for a mature piece of software...I guess its probably just me with unreasonably high expectations. Manually scrolling the timeline often does not give a true representation of the slides progress...reordering timeline layers often leaves the layer names in the wrong order, allocated to the wrong layer - with the need to select another slide and then select the original to correct the layer names. Layers also sometimes jump when moving them. Grouping objects is a very unpredictable operation - these are just a few of the more frequent frustrations.
The inability to on the fly test in different browsers...? :-0
No .ai or even .svg import...pretty unbelievable...astonishing even! AI is part of the Adobe Family - How wonderful would this be for Smart Shapes instead of the basic array of tools AC provides.
Symbol type libraries for commonly used items
I could go on but I don't want to bore you and in truth I expect, being such a new user, I am getting much of this wrong and missing where to control these issues.
Doing a simple PowerPoint type presentation that I can export to HTML5, with a bit of user interaction I expected to be a walk in the park for AC...but its actually a very intricate process...maybe I should go back Hype3 Pro, a good HTML5 application...but Its a much lower level of app I love to learn to use industry standard software. The must be a reason AC has such a dedicated user-base.
I am however, terrifically grateful to you for taking the me to try and help me.
I'll re-start my efforts again in the morning when my stress level have returned to something around normal!

Bullet point list starting in a line also containing non-bulleted text

Hi there!
I have a line of text in iWork Pages separated by a tab, like this:
Executive Summary: (TAB) This is the first bullet point
I want the first part of the text ("Exec Summary:") to stay without bullets, but the right part of the text ("This is the first bullet point") to be shown as a bullet point (this list should then be continued in the following lines).
Any time I highlight the right part of the text and click on "List", the bullet appears in front of the left part, not in front of the right. Any idea?
Many thanks!

If you are trying to mix the points within an indented, paragraph you can add a tab to catch the first internal bullet and type option * to get the bullet "•" then another tab to start the indented text.
To continue with the normal auto bullets after that, make an indented bulleted list with the indent aligning with the tab in the first paragraph.
All this formatting works off 3 things:
1. First line indent which in this case is hard left
2. A tab mid way between the hard left start and
3. The overall paragraph indent which is further right.
Exec Summary • First Point
• Second point etc
Hope this looks right in this post which does not follow normal Word Processing formatting

Animated QuickTime backgrounds with text bullet points over it????

The bullet point lines would need to animate on screen at the user's interaction (clicking the mouse or pressing arrow key). I tried this in PowerPoint and it didn't work. Every time you hit the arrow key or click the mouse to animate the first bullet point the movie in the background freezes and comes to the front covering the bulleted text.

yes, you can do this in Keynote. The only issues might be that on some machines, if you are using the presenter layout on your laptop screen, the video will stutter as you build in each bullet. Turning off the presenter tools usually takes care of that. Also, you can't extend the video onto a second slide, so anything you want to build in front of that video must be on THAT slide. Lastly, video currently pauses during a slide transition in Keynote, so even if you do a cross dissolve to the next slide, hoping for a smooth video to video transition, it won't be smooth, the video will freeze as it fades into the next one, which will also be frozen, then the next one will start playing.

Power point bullet point numbering

Hi,
I have just converted a PowerPoint presentation to a captivate course, entering questions etc. throughout.
3 or 4 of the slides have numbered bullet points, and 2 of those slides the number sequence wasn't kept. it just lists each point as 1. (there are six 1.'s rather than 1-6).
In the PowerPoint slide the numbering is 1-6, in the working captivate file (captivate 7) it is 1-6, and in the edit in PowerPoint screen it is 1-6.
In the preview or published versions it is there are 6 bullets all numbered 1.
Any thoughts?

You cant change the bullet timing easily (at least not in a
straight forward way)
after importing in Captivate. However those timings already
present in power point slides are honored by Captivate. You need to
ensure you do the following in the powerpoint animations so that it
appears automatically:
1. Go to Timing tab
2. Change the Start to "After previous"
3. Delay to (say 5 sec)
If you are still not able to do, please send me the sample
ppt file (or some slides) : [email protected]

Can I have an image "hidden" under each bullet point?

Is there a way to do a standard highlighted bullet point build-in such as:
|
| Native trees in our area:
|     - Poplar
|     - Oak
|     - Maple
|
but when I play the presentation, after each of the bullet point is highlighted, the next slide is a photo of the item in question. In other words, the slides would play as such:
1:
|
| Native trees in our area:
|     - Poplar
|
2:
|
| <show photo of the poplar>
|
3:
|
| Native trees in our area:
|     - Poplar
|     - Oak
|
4:
|
| <show photo of the oak>
|
etc...
Right now I am duplicating the main text slide multiple time and adding a new bullet each time manually but I was wondering if there is a more efficient way to do that. Just like when using the Highlighted bullet Build-In feature but with a photo in between each bullet.
Thanks for any help.
Bo

However, a larger photo, can accomodate text of 8 lines with plenty space to display a full hight single photo.
each line would be animated in as a build while the picture is static througout:
Indeed. But I need to photo to change with each bullet point.
Thats allready covered in the first post, but I made a complete set using 8 bullet points for 8 full screen pictures. The first bullet point and picture are shown with the build details.
If you want a list of settings for each item or a copy of the Keynote so you can see how it works let me know with a contact email address.
Very nice. Is Robing Hood still hiding in that forrest?
I looked but couldnt find him.

Bullet points in Word for Mac

When I have a bullet point list in Word, after pressing enter the next bullet point won't show up until I start typing. Is there anyway to change it so the bullet appears as soon as I press enter?

You should probably be posting on Microsoft's Mac forums since its their software you're having issues with:
