Attempting to run audio playback bar within Captivate
I am attempting to place a swf audio playback bar within a
Captivate slide. It would allow users to play an audio file over
and over within the same slide. The Captivate slide will not have a
playback bar at the bottom of it.
I've attempted to make a swf file with an embedded audio file
and a playback bar using Flash MX. The swf file works just fine
when it is played on its own. The playback controls (play, pause,
rewind) in the bar work just fine, too. However, whenever I attempt
to insert it within the Captivate 3 slide (as a swf animation), I
get an error message that states:
The Adobe Flash file has unresolved dependencies. This might
cause Adobe Captivate to run incorrectly or stop working. Do you
want to continue to add this file?
When I do insert the file, I only get the audio portion of
the file and not the playback bar. Can anyone help me with this?
Looks like that's using loadMovie to bring in the audio file
itself.
That works fine? It's just the controls that don't appear?
Paths get all
whacked out when brought into Captivate as there are now more
layers on
top of the SWF you imported. So if the controls are
referenced by
anything that relies on an external path, it could be that
the path is
now wrong. It may be helpful to search the forum for posts
with
something like "_root._root" for examples of how others have
handled this...
...if that's even part of the problem!

Audio playback from within a state machine without halting execution
I have created a state machine that acquires and analyzes an input signal and transitions states based on triggers detected within that signal. In one particular state I need to play back a prerecorded file (right now I am just using a .wav file for testing purposes). I understand that due to the data flow model the state machine hangs up during the playback state until the playback is finished, but I need to find someway around this. Obviously, whenever the machine hangs up it cannot continue acquiring and analyzing the signal. How can I start the playback from within the state machine without halting its execution?
Solved!
Go to Solution.Do you use the sound output VIs? If you do, try this. On the "Play Sound File VI" set the timeout value=0
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted

Pause function missing from Playback bar in Captivate 7
I am tring to publish a training video in Captivate 7. When I go to the skin editor I am not able to select most of the option and pause is completely missing. I do have a quiz in the video - would that cause the problem?
Thank you!Do you have Pretest slides in your project? Or/and do you have Branch aware checked in Quiz Preferences?

Log-in to You tube within captivate
I have multiple youtube (google) accounts. However, captivate will only accept one when i attempt to publish to You Tube within Captivate. Does anyone know why this would happen? I have tried running captivate as admin and it does not work. I have tried on captivate 7 and 8 on mac and windows and still the same. Is it a You Tube setting? or something from captivate?
Thanks so much for the reply Rick but it is not that I am trying to use multiple accounts- rather I am trying to use one account that just wont be accepted by captivate. It keeps saying my log in credentials are incorrect even though they work fine when I sign directly in to YouTube. I tried a different account to test it and that account worked fine. This is unfortunate as the one that works is my personal account while the one that doesn't is my departments, which is how we deliver content to a lot of the students. So I was wondering if there were certain YouTube settings or accounts that captivate does not like?
Anyway- thanks for replying

Audio playback stops while the video is still running!!!
Hi friends...
I use my final cut for online streaming... and usually make a timeline for 11-12 hrs and run it in loop... everything worked fine all these years... but offlate we have been having problems with the audio playback... THE PROBLEM IS... while the timeline is still running and we can see the video on the screen the audio stops... but it stops after a few hours not at the time we start the timeline... as of now all we do is tap the spacebar twice to stop and start play again and it works again... but i would want a more permanent solution if anyone could help me out...
thanks
AnshuHi,
Yes, using all the default out of the box Coherence POF support, you would need to restart the cluster to pick up any changes.
Do you really need the Java classes on the server side? Depending on what server side functionality you are using you might not actually need Java representations of the .Net classes. For example, if these are you entities that are being cached and you are never calling code that deserialises them, then there is no need for Java classes.
You could potentially write your own implementation of a POF Serializer (PofContext) that is used on the server side that can dynamically add and change classes.

Turning OFF Audio Playback during capture?
When capturing a tape from my video camera in Premiere Pro, How do I turn off the audio playback while recording?
I want to record the audio and the video, but I don't want to hear the tape's audio playing back through my computer speakers while recording. The technician I spoke to over the phone was extremely unhelpful and suggested I simply mute my computer speakers if I don't want to hear it. What if I want to listen to music or am trying to watch another video file in a different program without having to hear the premiere pro audio blaring over it. Please someone tell me the rude technician I spoke to did not understand clearly what I was asking and if anyone knows how to accomplish this or can shed anymore light on the topic.
I just spent 40 minutes on the phone with an adobe tech support rep who took 40 minutes to correctly understand the issue I was calling for and then informed me that the functionality does not exist within the premiere pro software. Sorry if this comes off as a little edgy, but my tech "support" call was extremely frustrating and now to find that premiere pro wont let you listen to anything in any other program while recording seems a little rediculous.
Thanks,It is risky to run other applications while capturing footage. May lead to dropped frames. I have found that Premiere is a resource hog and more likely to have this problem than other capture programs. Not that Premiere is a bad program for capture, but you might find an alternative that provides a better solution for your specific need.
It has been a few years since using Scenalyzer, but I always found that program to be extremely reliable and flexible. And it has the capability of silencing the audio during capture. Since you didn't say what format you are capturing I can't say whether Scenalyzer will work for you. Check it out.
I don't think Harm was being condesending at all. He is simply warning you about the potential problems your system may face by attempting to multi-task in the manner you describe. It's up to you to decide if you want to follow the advice you seek here.
Good luck -
Can no longer preview background audio accurately, efficiently in Captivate 7
I'm currently using Captivate 7.0.1.237 on a Mac running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1.
As far as I know, Captivate has never allowed for Background audio previews to work anywhere but in (Preview > Project) and (Preview > web [or] HTML5). Those aren't ideal, but I used to have no problem fast-forwarding the preview to see what adjustments needed to be made to sync background audio voiceovers to slide content. (FYI - I can't record to each slide because I'm combining recordings with static slides. Tried, failed.)
Since upgrading to Yosemite, I have been unable to scrub (rewind/fast forward) in any of the preview modes without losing the synchronization of the voiceover audio I have in the background. Previewing in web browsers doesn't even work at all any more. {Error: This webpage is not available.} The video will rewind/fast forward, but the audio doesn't recognize the timestamp.
So, this means that now the only method I have for timing audio to video is previewing the entire project (Preview > Project). I am working on developing a set of 15 different videos (eventually MP4 output, so no interactions), each of which is between 3-8 minutes in length. Each project is between 25-60 slides. Say I create content on the last slide (which might be 5-10 objects per slide,) I have to preview the entire 8-minute video without pausing, rewinding, or fast-forwarding - every. single. time. I add. or change. some content.
This problem has led to me working 10+ hours in a day attempting to sync audio to animations for just one project. This is totally unacceptable.
PLEASE HELP!!! I've searched high and low through the documentation, FAQs, and message boards and I'm coming up empty.Thanks for considering the problem! Unfortunately, as I stated above, the voiceover needs to be a background audio file that plays throughout the project. It's not possible to record audio-per-slide because of the structure of the video - and because I do a lot of editing of the audio files for 8-minute videos.
FYI - I was able to have a chat conversation with a support tech. Here is the transcript of that chat:
Anvinder: We have not tested the workflow of captivate 7 with yosemite so far.
Anvinder: You might find some inconsistencies.
AMANDA: So, is there no solution to this error?
AMANDA: Do I need to publish the entire project every single time I make a small change?
AMANDA: Has Captivate 8 shown this error in Yosemite?
Anvinder: In order to make the changes evident in the output you need to publish the whole output.
Anvinder: Amanda, the best practice is to publish the whole project.We are in testing phase for the same. You can download the trial version of captivate 8 and work on it on yosemite.
If you have a suggestion for a better workflow for creating tutorial videos (ultimately published to YouTube) that need to include the following, please share!
a voiceover
heavily animated explanations of concepts
live screen capture of business processes in software
Thanks! -
Has anyone had problems with audio playback in a previewed or published presentation where the playback stop short and advanced to the next slide?
Brian,
The fact that this mp3 is about the same size as a standard 16 bit/44.1k stereo file of a 3 or 4 minute song, indicates to me that it's an extremely long file.
I'm willing to bet you have run into the measure limit within a Logic song. It's 2000 something (can't remember it exactly).
The standard work around is to drop Logic's tempo to something really slow, thus allowing the larger file to be able to play within the Logic song limit.
See if that's it... -
Audio Playback Issues in Premiere Pro 8.1.0 with AJA Kona 3
Hi,
I'm supporting a couple of edits running the latest version of Premiere Pro. The editors are experiencing some strange stuttering/glitching audio playback via the installed AJA Kona 3 cards, manifested as follows:
When scrubbing using keyboard arrow keys for any prolonged period of time, audio either begins to stutter or fails to playback (despite there being activity on the audio monitors within the software)
When playing audio with unrendered effects (nothing too challenging, unrendered titles etc.), the audio will occasionally not play at all or will begin to stutter also.
Specs are as follows:
HP z800 running Windows 7 64-bit
2 x Intel Xeon X5650 CPUs
32GB RAM
512GB Samsung SSD
nVidia Quadro 4000 (latest drivers installed)
AJA Kona 3 (latest drivers installed)
Wacom Intuos 4 tablet (latest drivers installed)
Storage is a SMB share connected via a dedicated 1Gb/s ethernet link (Intel PRO 1000 card) and media is largely DVCPRO HD 100 wrapped as OP1a MXF, with corresponding sequence settings.
I've played with various RAM and Playback settings (including setting the AJA video playback buffer to 'minimum' as suggested on another thread regarding audio playback), but the problems persist. Is there anything else I can try, or more information I can provide?Since it worked with CS5.5, check with Blackmagic to see if they have updates for CS6
I know from other discussions that an nVidia driver update was needed for at least some people upgrading to CS6 -
Bugged audio playback? When I start working with more than 1 audio track.
Hi!
I have been using premiere elements 12 for editing FullHD videos.
Brand new for me just bought it like 2 weeks ago.
Now during the last couple weeks I have had this MAJOR proglem with editing the audio.
This problem is headache and turns my simple editing into almost impossibilites.
I have had this problem with all my projects. _ALL_
Usually the problem seems to appear when I want to start working with several audio tracks.
At somepoint my projects just get ruined, I simply cannot hear the audio tracks.
The audio starts to disapear randomly from all the audio tracks.
It is not only playback problem. When I exported the video, the audio was partly missing, same as the project.
I have tried to look help on forums and search all what I could find, but havent been able to solve this.
Small fix has slightly helped:
I export audio to single track and bring it back to project. This works but I still usually have more editing to do.
I simply cannot understand why the playback disapears, I fear it is a bug.
I found lot of earlier version problems on people with similar type of problems, but no help for this version of program.
To solve the matter I have changed my audio setting in PE12.
Tried Premiere Elements WDM Sound and ASIO4ALL V2, but same problem on both.
I have looked up that my audio playback device and PE12 matches, and are not muted, and volumes maxed.
I have deleted my C:\ appdata\roaming\adobe premiere elements & premiere elements 12 folder preferences.. not helping..
I press the update pretty much everyday hoping for new version.. But yes, program keeps telling me its the latest.
I usually only work with 3 audio track maxinum. And I am doing really the most basic stuff here..
I have set all my audios to foreground and it has given me best results, but it does not seem to take the problem away as at somepoint randomly my audio playback is missing again, randomly across the playback.
Please anyone? I am feeling hopeless here.

Operating system: Win7

I will go and try to answer best I can.

In total sizes of audio involved is usually something like 300mb
What are you or the program setting as the project preset in the new project dialog. See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and its Editing Mode, Timebase, and Frame Size readings.
I opened new project and this is what i got:
Editing mode: HD 1080i
Timebase: 25,00 frames/second
Frame size: 1920 x1080
Audio is 48000 Hz
(I dont know how to change these, btw. Program don't seem to let me change editing mode.
I also looked up my most recent project and found these settings:
Editing Mode: DSLR
Timebase: 30,00 frames/second
Frame size: 1920 x1080
..and same audio settings
Do the problems persist if you start a new project? Do you find the audio problems develop when the Timeline content is fairly well developed or can the problems occur when there a minimal amount of content of those tracks? Let us look at the size and duration of this project.
Yes, I have had this problem with all my projects. Sometimes it goes away tho, just enough for me to work bit more. My work progress usually starts by clipping the video material, like 1h material to 8minutes in clips. After that I want to work with audio tracks, and here problems start! When I start working with more than 1 track, so the problem is at later stage. To fix the problem a small fix I have used, I export audio like music and effects tracks together to 1 wav and bring it back. After that, I start working with narrate track. To describe the problem with audio:
Audio Randomly starts to disapear when I playback, and can also be gone if I export the video out.
My source videos total size are usually within 80Gb max limit and audio edit material 300mb total.
In my last project my biggest source video was 47GB and leingth of 1h 4m, in addition to that I had 3 smaller videos, sizes of 1GB, 1,54GB and 300MB.
Is there any evidence that you are accidentially moving the audio track rubberband to alter the audio volume. That rubberband is the orange line that runs horizontally through the middle of the audio clip when you are looking at the wave form display style of that audio track. The rubberband represents audio volume.
No, audio volumes might have been adjusted in my tracks but they are present. The problem is usually like ~2-5seconds, a random audio track can be heard (like music or narrate) or just no sounds at all. This makes it very difficult to work with the audio. Also I gotta say that this problem starts by simply having the 2-3 audio tracks.. In my recent project the only adjustment I used to edit the audio was fade in/out.
I don't have any other audio problems with any other programs.
I am more than happy to provide more information if needed. I hope this information helps.
In addition I can say that when I close Adobe Premiere Elements 12, it crashes. No idea why.
I have also looked up my firewall settings, anything involved adobe and premiere..
In addition some effects like HD text templates make "Adobe Media Core CS6" crash. I tend to just not use em, or if I need em, I add em at end of the edits.
I hope this helps, I would really like to solve this problem.
Thank you alot for taking the time to answer! I welcome anyone to help mee too! Please giev links to similar problems too. Thank you everybody! -
Hi,
I'm trying to change the hover text on the playback bar buttons. I'm using Captivate 7 and I've tried messing with localization options via Flash but as the intructions were for Captivate 4 I've had no luck. Any suggestions?
ThanksYou will need to open a playbar in Flash and save as a new name if desired. The tooltips are in the localization MovieClip. They are in an array:
var pbcBtnTips_ENU:Array = new Array("Rewind ",
"Back ",
"Play ",
"Pause ",
"Forward ",
"Closed Captioning ",
"Audio On ",
"Audio Off ",
"Exit ",
"Information ",
"dummy for scratch bar ",
"Table of Contents ",
"2x Fast Forward Speed ",
"4x Fast Forward Speed ",
"Normal Speed ",
"Print");
Change the tooltips text and export the movie to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 7 x64\en_US\Gallery\Playbars\AS3. Make sure the skin editor points to the file you just created. -
At first I had put buttons on all my slides to manually move
forward and back. But then I needed a pause that would start and
stop the audio, so I selected a playback bar with the the Skin
setting. To make the slide stop, however I still had to have a
button that paused the slide after the audio was done.
Over all this mostly works.
However it seems that occasionally pressing the next button
in the skin playback bar will cause Captivate to just "flash" over
a slide. I see it blink on for just a moment, and then it is gone.
I've checked the ones that it does it to, and they aren't always
the same, and I don't see anything that could be causing the
problem. They are set to display for a certain length of time, they
have a button to pause them, and so on.
Any idea where to look?I think I've figured out what the problem is.
I want the user to stay on a slide until they click the
playbar "next" button.
Since there is no way to just stop a slide by itself. I've
put a button which pauses the slide onto the slide.
That button is "hidden" by being underneath the place where
the playbar will show up.
It seems to work when I publish it directly out of Captivate
But when I then load that swf into Articulate, both the
playbar next and the next next are being pressed and that skips me
ahead.
It seems the answer is to make a button that pauses the
slide, but has an action of nothing.
Does that seem sensible? Does anybody else have ideas? -
Any luck with audio playback on the iPad?
A general question to everyone using the HTML5 converter.
I have yet to find the magic combination for consistent audio playback on the iPad. Sometimes it plays, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes the audio will play on a slide, then after refreshing the page it doesn't play, even if I sit and wait for it.... Please trust that I've clicked the audio button to download it. & I've compressed the crap out of the audio, not to mention I've tested this with a short presentation and a larger presentation, object audio vs slide audio... Results are the same. The audio is fully converting, as it plays on my desktop via Safari.
Is anyone else experiencing similar audio issues?I don't have any answers for the inconsistency of audio playback, but I am going to have someone much more versed in java take a look at it and maybe provide some insight. Really, I have no idea.
If your getting consistent audio playback the second time through, great. I wish that was happening for me. I am getting about half of my 19 slides to play audio, and never the first or second slide.
I was having the audio repeat on each slide, but I was able to control it somewhat by manipulating the code. One way is to make sure your timeline in each slide of your Captivate file ends when the audio ends, and any object that is pausing the slide pauses within the audio timeline...... but what I found was happening is that the "pause" for each click box I have on each slide that keeps the module from automatically advancing to the next had a frame reference that was outside the frame area of the audio file....in the converted code.
if you get to the part in the html code of the converted file where it lists each slide and it's objects, check the frame reference for the audio against any object that pauses the slide....(below in bold):
in my example, the audio plays from frame 1 to 356, and then the click box pauses at 355, before I edited it, it was pausing at 359 (1 frame before the end of slide 1), causing the audio to start playing again.
Everyone's project is different, but this worked for me, and I hope it gives you some direction.

ITunes 11.1.3 issues - freezing during audio playback.
Like many other folks on here, I'm having some playback issues with iTunes 11.1.3.
Macbook (couple years old) 2.4 mhz 2 core- 4 gigs ram
We use this computer primarily for music playback for dance classes and performances. Have run dozens of shows over the last year or so with zero issues.
There *might* be a better playback software option, but iTunes doesn't get in the way with too many options, has (up until now) been rock solid, and has never let us down, and is less prone to user error causing huge WHOOPS during something important.
That is, until 11.1.3. Didn't really notice any issues at first, but wife came home from a dress rehearsal Wednesday evening and complained - "it froze a couple of times while playing back Act 1. What's wrong with my computer?". (Act 1 - approx 50 minutes of music - 40ish total cuts).
I looked at it - she had a ton of other stuff running - mail - wifi - DVDPlayer - iPhoto - you name it. I figured that was the problem, shut all the other stuff off, and figured it was solved.
Nope - I'm running audio during our final tech rehearsal this evening before performances start in the morning.
35 or 40 minutes in - froze again during a track.
It just stopped - buttons became unresponsive - beachball came up - we waited a minute - and then it freaked out while trying to catch up with anything I had pressed, skipped around a bit, then resumed acting normal again.
Took a short break - checked nothing else was running that didn't need to be and made some adjustments:
Wifi off
Cloud off
Check downloads, sync, podcasts ... all off.
Reset all warnings. Reset cache ( which took a surprising amount of time)
Match and Genius, off
Opened Acitvity Monitor and stopped any processes that were not essential
Reboot ....
Another 30 or 40 minutes later - froze again.
Luckily, the lighting guy had a PC laptop with him. I quickly authorized his computer, transferred everything, and the rest of the evening went without a glitch.
Not sure what to do next. I'm pretty sure it's NOT the computer.
Disk checks OK. All hardware test are OK.
Couple of observations:
1. If I repair permissions - it finds a TON of messed up (?) iTunes permissions and fixes them. One day later, it find just as many again. What's up with that?
2. If I watch disk access in the Actiity monitor during playback - on occassion there's a WRITE spike. Odd. What's it writing? This is with NOTHING ELSE running but iTunes, which didn't glitch during the spike, but still, what's that? A contributing factor? A clue?
3. CPU and memory use looked OK. Haven't managed to get it to glitch again while I'm actually watching this though.
Between what I've tried, and what I've read here, I'm pretty convinced our Macbook isn't at fault here. I'm pretty sure there's a problem with 11.1.3
