Best location to save projects in Captivate 6

I am currently saving all of my Captivate 6 projects to my C drive.  I wanted to make sure that this is the best place to save my main projects.  Also, what is a best practice to save the backup projects (is it ok to save them on a network drive?).
Thank you,
Christie

Hi Christie,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
You can save your Projects anywhere on your machine as per your choice. However, it is always recommended to keep a backup or a copy of the project. You can save the backup projects anywhere (network drive or flash drive), but please make sure when you are working on your project it is copied locally to your computer. Because if you will work on the projects saved directly to the network drive you might face issues publishing them or working with them.
Hope this helps!
Thanks!

  • Best locations for FCP Projects and Events?

    Back in the olden days when FCE 4 and FCP 7 ruled the roost, it was generally considered that the best setup was to have the Project files on the System HD and the Capture Scratch (Events) on another.
    Is this still the ideal setup or should the Projects be kept with the Events on an external HD?
    Are there any advantages associated with the various configurations?

  • What is the best way to save and share Captivate software simulation files in Connect?

    File sizes (of 9mb zipped) appear to be causing problems. I've tried to share this short video any number of ways and I have not been successful.

    Thank you. I have tried publishing directly to Connect and many other ways. I was able to upload a ppt converted SWF, so I know I can do it, but I'm not doing something correcly with the simulation, and I'm not sure what. I can add the file to my Content and it appears to want to upload in Connect, but I just get the wait screen and no controls to play the file. I've also aggregated the ppt SWF and the simulation SWF, and it won't recognize this either. I'm close, but I'm just missing something.

  • Best location for Project.fcp

    Just getting started and testing. I am using a FW external drive for my media (the Scratch drive assigned via System Prefs). All is going well (so far).
    Is there a best location for the Project.fcp file? I think that I read that it best reside on my startup drive.
    But, I also read (I think) that the media files and project files should be kept in the same folder (I don't understand why). I would suspect that the Project.fcp file can be anywhere, just like any other document file. Correct?
    Thanks,
    Sonny

    I asked the same question over three years ago!
    Here was Tom's reply to me that has an added bit of info that might be useful:-
    "+Putting the project file on the system drive is generally considered good practice. I'm not sure how much actual performance improvement you'll see, but the media might be less likely to have dropped frames. It also means, if your autosave vault is on the media drive, that you have project file backups on a second hardware device in case one fails."+

  • Where  is the best place to save my projects?

    I dont know if I have been saving my Project right but I also have a external hard drives and I thought I was saving it their but I check it today and their is nothing on it . Where is the best place to save it or do I even need the external hard drive? Thanks

    No idea what you might have done wrong...
    By default your projects are saved in Macintosh HD/Users/~<name>/Music/Logic/ folder on your boot drive. Check it first.
    You can also try to open your project again using recent files list in Finder or in Logic itself. Then you can find the exact location of your project folder: in the Arrange select an Audio region and go Audio -> Show Selected File(s) in Finder. This will open Audio Files folder in the project folder (well, this will work only if external files are included in the project's assets).
    Another method will be using Spotlight (click on magnifying glass icon in the upper-right corner of the screen to open Spotlight and type in your the name under which you saved your project).

    I have lightroom 5.7. Now I have apple TV to connect my Mac to the TV scree. I wish to do a slide show on the TV. However, on the Mac, using ITunes to share photos with the TV, I cannot locate all photo files. What is the best way to save the slide show and put it where the Mac sharing can find it? So far, I made on one folder in Lightroom, put some photos there and I found them easily. Can this be done with a slide show? Please help quickly! Also worried that the photos I put on the new folder are hard to find afterwards, when the show is done. Where do they go when I delete from from the new folder?I am not alone

    Not that I'm aware of. You just export JPEG copies to a folder that you can point iTunes to. For instance, I have created a folder in my Pictures folder called Apple TV. And within that folder I have other folders of pictures that I can choose from in iTunes to share with Apple TV. But there doesn't seem to be any way to share a Lightroom slideshow. If you have laid to create a video file that would probably work. Apple TV is a little clunky in my opinion. Some things are a little more difficult to do now than they were a while back. I probably haven't provided you with much help, but just keep experimenting and I think you will figure it out.

  • Best way to save iMovie Projects

    I am using iMovieHD and have about 50 hours of video to import and then to save. I recently bought a LaCie 250G hard drive. I do not know the best way to save these movies which I have imported and edited but since they are in effect out family treasury I would like a good quality. I can al;ways make new iDVDs from the edited iMovie so assume I will not need to save the iDVD projects. Any recommendations?

    I think Apple should post some BIG ads to make some things clear
    Hi Hunting,
    "Quciktime" is not a format nor a compression method; QT is "just" a socalled container or warpper, containing many media formats (the .mov suffix is irritating people...), have a look here for an overview how many formats 6 codecs are a "Quicktime" file...
    ... mpeg4 is just one of them...
    to answer your question:
    that depends MUCH on, what you want to do later with your stored movies:
    * dv is highest possible quality with iM files - but: 1h = ~12Gb !!
    * mpeg4 my personal favorite, good pic quality, small file size BUT! as any mpeg-"flavor", it is a lossy compression codec...- in case, you plan to make in two years a nice dvd, that lossy mpeg4 has to be converted into mpeg2 (another lossys format) ...
    there are some dvd-standalone player on the market, able to playback ISO-conform mpeg4 files (not in a .mov container, but as .mp4....)
    * in case, you want re-edit, you need to store the iM-projects...
    * the new h.264 is a fanstatstic codec, but too new, as: you need fast Macs for playback and warp-fast Mac for encoding...
    summary/recommendation:
    hd drives prices drop; I would store in .dv, three times bigger as a dvd (tento 20 times bigger then a mpeg4...) but best format for "post processing" (edits, dvd burns, website compression, switching to mpeg4, h.264....)
    to add some silly ToolTime idea (call me Tim, I'm using it, short in money):
    just for storage, you can buy 3,4,5 drives plus ONE empty fw-case; it is very easy to build a drive inside such case (two multi-pin cables); transfer files; build second hd into case... you just store the hds... looks silly, but works important: write onto some paper, what's on that drives...

  • Can you save system settings scratch disks locations for each project?

    When you begin a new project in FCE you need to set the System Settings Scratch Disks. Typically you would set a new folder for each project to keep all of your files for each project in one location for that project.
    I have a couple of FCE projects going at the same time. I've set each project with a different system setting scratch disk location. But if I open a project which should have a unique scratch disk location folder that I've already set before for that project, it ignores the setting I set for that project and just shows the scratch disk setting for the last project opened instead. It does not appear to save or remember the unique setting for that project.
    If you have multiple projects going at the same time, is there a way to save the systems settings scratch disk location for each project and have FCE remember that location for each project?

    I turned off the Open Last Project on Application Launch in the User Preferences and it still does not remember the unique scratch disk settings for each project.
    Since it is quite common to be working on multiple projects simultaneously, you would think that there would be a way in which to save the settings for each project to help keep all related files better organized.
    Any other suggestions?

    That is just impossible. You never can save a CP-file to a lower version.

  • Best practice for responsive projects

    Does anyone have tips on best practices for responsive project?
    I understand that 3 different layouts can be created. What happens if a learner is not using one of the 3 devices that were set up in a responsive project, and their screen size is different from any of those

    Jay,
    Dr. Pooja Jaisingh offered very valuable tips for good practice in responsive design last week in her webinar. 'Do's and Don'ts of creating Responsive Projects with Captivate 8'. I don't see the recording yet On Demand, but keep an eye on it.
    Did you test a responsive project with F11 (Preview in Browser)? You will be able to change the resolution of the browser window and see that the content, if well designed (you can have absolute positioning, size as well) will move, shrink to adapt. The break points (3 devices) allow you to make more invasive changes at those points: dragging some objects out of the stage in the scratch area because they take up too much space for phones is one example. Or replacing a big screenshot with many details by a zoomed in detail screenshot for the mobile breakpoint. That is my way of explaining, responsive is not just have the three layouts for devices, it is also adapting between those breakpoints.

  • CS6 Freezing on Save Project

    When I try to save a project in CS6, Premiere displays the Save Project dialogue and freezes completely.  The progress bar does not begin to move.  If I click cancel, I get the beach ball.  The only way to get out is to Force Quit.  Also, if I let that it remain in the frozen state for more than a few minutes, it grinds my entire system to a halt with hard drive read/writes and eventually system memory errors (which I've never seen before).  I have 8 gigs of RAM and few things running.  It also bizarrely knocked out my system sound, which has not returned after a restart.  The volume speaker icon is now grayed out (different from muted) with no fix that I can find.  The sound thing could be a coincidence, but that seems unlikely.
    The project I've been playing with was started in CS5.5.  It's a simple project, just a demo reel that I figured would be a good thing to use to test out CS6.  It has one AE comp, but nothing crazy.  So I opened it in CS6.  It converted, and I saved it to a new location.  I made a few adjustments and saved it again without a problem.  The auto save was also working.
    I opened another project from 5.5, also no problems, although I didn't really make any changes.
    When I opened the first project again, everything seemed fine until an auto save which froze as described.
    I Forced Quit and reopened the project.  As soon as I hit save I got the same freeze.  I figured some kind of corruption had set into that project file.  So I started over with the original CS5.5 project file again.  I was able to save it, this time with incremental file names, and make the same changes.
    After a quit and relaunch, I opened the project and again couldn't save.  That was the case for every one of my incremental saves. I've now gone through this cycle a lot trying to figure it out.  The only project I can open and save is the original CS5.5 project file, but if I make any changes and then close the project and come back to it, the freeze on save happens every time.
    I'm not particularly concerned about the reel project, but the other project I'm working on is a client piece that I started in 5.5. I'm pretty terrified this will happen to that project as well.  I'll soon find out as I need to move forward with it.
    I'm psyched about CS6.  I like what I've seen briefly, but this is obviously disastrous.
    Various error messages have also popped up.  Here they are:
    Premiere Pro has encountered an error.
    [/Volumes/BuildDisk/builds/mightykilt/PremierePro/UIFramework/Make/Mac/../../Src/Workspace .cpp-209]
    Premiere Pro has encountered an error.
    [/Volumes/BuildDisk/builds/mightykilt/PremierePro/UIFramework/Make/Mac/../../Src/Applicati on.cpp-3118]
    Adobe Premiere Pro
    Sorry, a serious error has occurred that requires Adobe Premiere Pro to shut down. We will attempt to save your current project.
    Anyone else experiencing this?  I'm running Mac OS 10.7.4.

    I tried everything to fix the muted audio.  This is what worked,  You have to run the script every time you restart your computer.  Save it to your dock for easy access.
    1. Open Utility.
    2. Open Applescript Editor.
    3. Copy the following and paste it at the top half of the editor (copy everything below with the quotes in place):
    do shell script "launchctl stop com.apple.audio.coreaudiod" password "your_password" with administrator privileges
    4. Replace "your_password" with your login password. For example if your login password is ILOVEMYSON2011 then it should look like this...
    do shell script "launchctl stop com.apple.audio.coreaudiod" password "ILOVEMYSON2011" with administrator privileges
    5. Now go to File ---> Save As (in the Applescript Editor on the Menu Bar)
    After "Save As" choose a name for the file. I called mine "AudioFix"
    Under "File Format" choose "Application."
    Save it to your Applications (or wherever you like) and drag it to your dock.
    Run it whenever you restart your computer. If your problem is the same as mine, the volume indicator will pop on within a few seconds or up to a half a minute after you run the script.
    Good luck!

  • What is the best way to save an ai file so it can be opened in corel draw

    I have an ai file that needs to be opened in corel draw by a client. It needs to remain editable all paths and colors ect.
    Whats the best way to save it so it can be.
    yes I know corel is not as good as Illustrator but its what they have.

    Moving files back and forth between Adobe Illustrator and CorelDRAW is tricky. There's quite a bit more to it than knowing what version of CorelDRAW the client is using. If the artwork is fairly simple then there shouldn't be any problem with transferring the artwork into CorelDRAW. If the artwork has gradients, transparency effects, a lot of clipping masks, etc. then it's going to be a lot more dicey getting it to import into CorelDRAW properly. In addition to the .AI file you provide, you should give the client a PDF they can view in Adobe Reader or Acrobat so they can proof how the artwork is really supposed to look.
    I use Adobe Illustrator CC and CorelDRAW X6 in my work. I've used both applications for over 20 years. I don't consider either application better than the other. They both have their own unique strengths and weaknesses. I'll do a good bit of creative work within CorelDRAW to use certain features Illustrator either lacks or just doesn't do as well. Or I may need to design a really big project at full scale and Corel has a much bigger art board than Illustrator. Most of the time I move a lot of the stuff I created in CorelDRAW over to Illustrator for further refinement or moving it into Photoshop as paths or smart objects or just getting it ready to print (I don't like Corel's color engine even though it has improved in recent years).
    Like others have said, you need to know the basics of what the user has -mainly which version of CorelDRAW. The newer versions like the one I'm using can open Illustrator CS5 files. For older versions, you may have to save down to CS2 or even really old versions like Illustrator 8.
    CorelDRAW will not support certain Illustrator-dependent effects. For instance, if you apply a gradient to an object outline it will be lost when opened in CorelDRAW. A lot of other effects won't be maintained when opened in Corel unless they are flattened/expanded. Some effects may even have to be rasterized, and that can create other issues. Out of effects that are maintained, some may have to be adjusted. CorelDRAW and Adobe Illustrator handle things like gradient fills differently and don't understand how to portray gradients from their rival application accurately. Some nice fill that was created in CorelDRAW may have to be tweaked or completely rebuilt when opened in Illustrator.
    I get a lot of customer files in CorelDRAW and also a lot in Illustrator. That reason alone makes it necessary for me to have both CorelDRAW and Adobe Illustrator running on my computer.

  • Deleting a project in Captivate 5

    How do I delete a project in Captivate 5 rather than just deleting the slides associated with it?

    You can delete Adobe Captivate projects (CPTX files) or templates (CPTL) at any time. When you create Adobe Captivate projects and templates, they are saved, by default, to the following locations:
    Projects are saved in \My Documents\My Adobe Captivate Projects. If you are using Windows® Vista®, the path is \Users\<Current User>\Documents\My Adobe Captivate Projects.
    Templates are saved in \My Documents\My Adobe Captivate Projects\Templates. If you are using Windows Vista, the path is \Users\<Current User>\Documents\My Adobe Captivate Projects\Templates.
    To delete projects or templates, perform the following steps.
    Open Windows Explorer.
    Navigate to the location of the Adobe Captivate project or template (see the default locations listed previously).
    Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) the project or template and select Delete.

  • Is an iPhone app the best choice for our project?

    Dear All,
    We are developing a travel tour idea for different locations within the US.  Tour content can include video, audio, images and text, as well as maps and locations.  We want to make our tours "in-depth" so that people can spend good quality time traveling a short distance and exploring "in-depth" rather than travelling long distances and giving only casual interest to what they see.
    I'm new to developing apps for the iPhone and am using Dreamweaver CS5.5 soon to be updated to CS6. 
    I'm wondering if an app for iPhone and other related media like Android is really the way to go because of the limited content and screen size available.  I can envision our tours being utilized in many other formats, including iPad, Interactive PDF, as travel e-books or through an interactive website.  Our goal is to sell our apps, not give our material away for free. PDF would be my preferred format, but I know that PDF is easily transferred for free among users and would probably not give us much profit.
    Any thoughts out there on what the best format for our project might be, or should it include ALL of the above formats? App creation for the iPhone is a rather complicated process, so that's why I'm wondering if after all of the work that you have to put in to create an iPhone app, if that is ultimately my best choice.
    I would appreciate any thoughts or advice, or any questions you might have.  I'm working on a Mac Pro with CS5.5 Master Collection soon to be updated to CS6

    hi,
    It depends on your requirement. Base on my experience, VM or website all could meet your requirement. From your description, You could use azure website to host your php website (http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/documentation/articles/web-sites-php-configure/).
    And you could use website auto scale feature in the future. I suggest you could see their comparison (http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/documentation/articles/choose-web-site-cloud-service-vm/
    Hope it helps.

  • Can I save/export from Captivate 4 down to Captivate 3?

    Can I save/export from Captivate 4 down to Captivate 3?

    Yes, you can! But you need Captivate 3 installed in your computer.
    First, open the project in Captivate 4. Copy all the slides. Open a new project in Captivate 3. Paste all the slides.
    I have done this with Captivate 4 to Captivate 2, so I am sure it should work with 3.
