Bookmarking with video in Captivate 6

I'm running into a problem that when I insert an flv video in one slide, if user in our LMS system exits partway through the video, the next time the user starts the training module the system does not bookmark where the user left off in the video, but begins the user at the start of the video. We're using SCORM 1.2. What is the trick to get bookmarking working within a video?

Bookmarking in Captivate relates to the slide number only. Therefore it will always return to the last visited slide - not the last visited frame on that slide or the last viewed position in an external file (flv, mp4).

  • Timeline with bookmarks with video

    Novice here.
    I'm doing a project that will require video playback - my idea is to have a timeline with "bookmarks" for lack of a better word. The (short) video will play and will lead into the next video playing. If the user doesn't want to watch the first couple of  videos they can click ahead on the timeline to watch the part of the video they want.  I as hoping to have a progress bar attached to this timeline, that will play along with the video duration and lead into the next video. Am I getting myself into an Actionscript mess? I have very little actionscript experience. A point in the right direction or a different idea would be much appreciated.
    Thanks for your time.

    Hi Steve,
    This will require AS, yes. Now the mess is up to you
    The FLVPlayback component is a good start when dealing with video. The simplest setup would be to use an Array to hold the links to the video files. Have a variable (uint) to hold the current index of the video being played: starting at 0 and up to the (length - 1) of the array. Buttons to go to the next & previous video, etc...
    You should look at tutorials on implementing a playlist with the FLVPlayback component. Here's one to get you started: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/video_playlist.html

  • Adding a swf file with videos in captivate.

    Hello,
    so basically I've built a little flash software, that has around 4 videos in it.
    Now when importing the swf into captivate, the videos don't appear.
    Anyway around this, or to fix it?

    Hi,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    Please provide some details so that we can help you in fixing the issue.
    1) Which product have you used to create the flash software?
    2) Are the video playing in the flash software?
    3) File formats of all the 4 videos.
    4) Are the videos playing fine when you import them directly into Captivate?
    5) Which version of Captivate?
    6) Do you have Windows XP, Windows 7 or MAC?
    Thanks

  • Linking to external video in Captivate 7

    I develop video-based training. Each slide includes mostly video. I've been successfully embedding f4v videos into Captivate projects for some time but video quality and file size issues make it necessary to begin linking to videos on external servers.
    I've tried a number of options without success.
    I create a video event, choose the url option, and add the url from the uploaded video. The only usable server choice is the Adobe Media Streaming Service. I've tested the videos on different servers including Amazon since the troubleshooting advice alerted me that only Adobe partners servers will be recognized. The project previews and the progress bar moves as if the video is playing but only the background file is visible. I tried all the preview options - no luck.
    I decided to try the YouTube widget. I uploaded test videos to YouTube, inserted the Interaction widget and added the url, etc. This option results in a successful preview only when I choose the html 5 output in web browser option. Captivate will successfully publish the project but I get "Java Script Error unable to acquire LMS, API content, may not play properly" messages.
    The published file performs like all of the unsuccessful previews. The file loads and acts as if the videos are playing in that the progress bar moves but there is no video, just the slide background image. I tried different output settings like just SWF, just html5, both SWF and html5, different versions of the flash player, etc. I also added the output folder to the Flash Global Security settings in case it was a permissions issue.
    I'm working on a mac so I emailed a zipped file to my PC and tried to open in Internet Explorer to see if the file might play on a different system or browser - same outcome - no luck.
    Making external video work is critical to my work and use of Captivate so I'm hoping there's something I'm missing or misunderstanding about what I need to do.
    Any help or advice will be appreciated.

    I'm continuing to have problems with the YouTube widget. My client sent me YouTube links and when I copied and pasted the new links into the Captivate file and the published and uploaded the file, the links didn't work.
    To review, I uploaded video files to YouTube and used the interactions widget to insert the linked videos. The videos which I uploaded can be previewed in html5 in web browser but not in any other way. When I publish this file and view the file on my system on my browser (Safari) the file opens but the videos do not play. However, when I upload to my ftp site and open the file from there, the linked YouTube videos play.
    So this led me to believe that I have a file that will work at least in html5 output. But when I replace the original YouTube links that I uploaded with new links provided by my client the videos preview in html5 in web browser mode but do not play on my system or when uploaded to my ftp site. All of the videos (mine and my clients) play in YouTube and preview in html5 mode.
    Additionally, when I ouput the html5 file, the quiz doesn't work properly. The radio buttons don't appear on screen so when answers are selected the user has no way of knowing their selections have been accepted. Oddly, the quiz is registering answers since when you submit there is a brief flash during which you can see the buttons but they quickly disappear and results are tallied accurately at the end. But the quiz is unusable without user feedback for selections. You can view this performance beginning on the sixth slide (the beginning of the quiz).

    Are html5 output files compatible with Learning Management Systems? Is there a way to use the YouTube widget in SWF output files?

  • How to record a video of Captivate itself?

    Hello - how do I record a video of Captivate itself? It doesn't appear as a 'window to record' (Record New Project > Appliction > ..).
    Any help? Thanks in advance.
    By the way, I am using version 5.

    Hello,
    I have been creating a lot of Captivate SWF's using 2 instances of Captivate 5 or capturing CP5 with CP4. This is working fine, just needs some editing sometimes for the automatically generated Captions that on some level seem to have strange messages, which you will not have capturing CP5 with CP4. But the capturing process works fine. You can have a look at this video tutorial I published a long time ago (only one in English, mostly create in other languages). This work flow was not possible in Captivate 4, Rick is right:

  • Posting lots of slides with video slow playback to a halt

    In our slide of about 50 slides, when we have one video slide, it plays ok, but each slide we add after, makes the captivate play slower and slower. In this case, we have about a dozen slides with video, and with all video slides in, the playback is not useable. Video is set to progressive video download and are only a few meg in size
    How can we handles several slides with video?
    Thanks

    This sounds like a bandwidth issue.
    Do you encounter the same slow playback issue if you publish the course to your local PC and play the course from your hard drive?  If not, the issue isn't likely CPU-related.
    If local playback is also slow, your CPU/RAM resources might be unable to keep up with decoding your video at it's current compression or size.  You might need to use smaller, lighter video.
    If you want to see whether or not your issue is related to bandwidth limitations, download the Charles web debugging proxy software (http://www.charlesproxy.com/download/) and use this to watch the actual downloads in progress for the videos in your course.  If you see that Captivate is downloading more than one video at a time, this might explain why things start to bog down.  You might need to restructure your course so that each video is downloaded separately as the user comes to it.  At worst, tThis could require breaking your course into more modules.

  • Self-Paced Learning - Bookmark not working in Captivate 5

    I followed the directions of adding a Table of Contents to one of my captivate projects and selecting Self-Paced Learning in order to create a bookmark but this does not work.  I have saved it as Adobe Flash 9 and Adobe Flash 10 but I am not getting the message about starting where I left off when either refreshing the browser or exiting and going back in.  What am I missing?
    Thanks for your time,
    Brenda

    All slides in the presentation are marked as continue.  I have gone
    through the first 5 slides and when I refresh the browser or exit out of
    Internet Explorer and open the project again it just starts at the
    beginning.

    working in Captivate 5
    Hello Brenda,
    How did you check: after uploading to a LMS?
    You have to be aware of the fact that a slide will be marked as 'viewed'
    only when the playbar has played the whole slide till the end. If you do
    pause slides with a click box, button, TEB and attach the action 'Go to
    Next slide' or something similar instead of the default action 'Continue'
    this will not happen and the slide will not be marked as completed.

  • How do I get my project with video onto my website?

    I just want to be able to upload my project, which is a mixture of slides with video. There seems to be multiple ways to upload, but I don't know which method to use over another and while I've tried doing so the videos don't work. 
    So I tried again and tried to link my videos that I currently host on Amazon S3 into my project, but it won't let me do that.  Is there a way to do that? If I can't use Amazon S3, where should I host my videos?  What am I doing wrong??
    I'm using Captivate 7 (32 bit)
    I've slides with audio added and videos embedded as a video object.
    Much of Captivate is very easy and intuitive to create projects, but I want to get this up online.
    Maybe I'm completely missing the point and it's really easy, but I'm now so confused I don't know what to do.
    A simple guide to uploading a project would be very helpful.
    Thanks

    Have you tried bouncing yet? Underneath your Main Stereo Outs there is a little button for Bouncing. Hit that and a menue will open. Choose the format you want to bounce (44.1/16 Bit perhaps) and set the beginning and end point of your Song. If you setup a cycle for the whole length of the Song it will automatically take the Locators as the the Bounce In and Out Points. There is also the option "add to iTunes Library" in that menue, so choose that and later burn a CD from your iTunes library.

  • I am trying to add a full screen mode button for non scalable pubished video in captivate 7

    I am trying to add a full screen mode button for non scalable pubished video in captivate 7. For captivate 6 I used a widget from CPguru but that is not compatible with captivate 7.

    Hello,
    We have tried the Fullscreen widget from CPguru.
    It seems to be working fine at our end.
    Could you please try using the widget in a new project.
    It could be specific to the project you have created. If possible, share the cptx file with us for better investigation.
    Share the file (at https://workspaces.acrobat.com) and send it to [email protected]

  • Embed Video in Captivate 7

    Is it possible to embed a video in Captivate 7?

    Please tell us what your definition of "embed" is.
    With Captivate, all video is simply linked to and is called when needed. It is never an integrated part of the output that would simply be included with the output file. It would always have to be included among the files you distribute.
    Cheers.. Rick

  • Videos in captivate

    Hi
    I am just wondering if anyone has implemented videos onto their captivate programmes? I currently have click boxes which link to external videos on Vimeo, but I am hoping to try and embed the video in the porogramme so it doesn't need to be viewed externally?
    I notice there is an FLV or F4V insert option but if I wanted my programme to work on iPad this video would not work? So can an alternative video format be inserted?
    Has anyone made a programme for iPad with video content in it?
    Cheers

    Hi!
    Are you using Captivate 6? As you could publish to HTML 5 using that for iPads.
    If you want your users to be directed to the Video Page from with in Captivate, you can set the Action on ClickBox " On Success" to open a File and URL and put the Source URL, you can also manage to open it in same or new window.
    Or, if you specifically want to add them as a iPad supported video format ( as FLV or F4V) might not work, you could download them as MP4 ( or even use Adobe Media Encoder to convert) and add them Manually as Event Video or Multi Slide Synchronise Video.
    Thanks!

  • How to create a flash menu that links to specific slides with in a Captivate swf

    Hi!
    I would like to create a DVD menu that offers two languages. So the first page gives two options: Language 1 and Language 2. Then depending on which language you choose, you go to a menu that proposes different videos and a photo slideshow.
    Regardless on which language button you click on initially, you get the same content but in different languages.
    I've been looking at Premiere's templates, which I can certainly customize, but I really don't see how to create the double menu. Does anybody have an idea?
    Put the video with the first language on the timeline followed by the video with the second language.  Use chapter markers so you can have each video as a chapter in the menu.
    I use Premiere Pro, so I can't give more specific directions. Perhaps somebody like ATR will chime in.
    Also, I have another question: can I put videos from different projects in the same DVD with Premiere or must all of the videos that go into the DVD be in the same project?
    Thank you very much!!!

    They must be in the same project.

  • Screen Capture with Video of Presenter

    How do I make a screen capture with a video of the presenter (me). Is this built into captivate? It is simple with Camtasia. I could not find this option in captivate. Does it exist?

    Sorry, doesn't exist in Captivate. Perhaps try Adobe Presenter Video Creator.
    Sounds like you already have Camtasia, I'd stick with that for this type of work. Actually, if you want full motion video, Camtasia is the better choice, Especially when it comes to the editing process.
    Captivate rocks for the slide by slide capturing and creating interactive "video" type output. But Camtasia leaves it in the dust when it comes to the full motion video. Camtasia sucks for creating interactive type videos that Captivate does. Just different tools for different workflows.

  • Problems with Video Sound on Treo Pro

    I can not get any sound on my Treo Pro when accessing Video on the Internet, such as YouTube. Can someone solve my problem?
    Thanks
    Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)

    or some mistake I am making?
    You are using an image processing program to edit video. Seriously, use Premiere Pro or any other proper editing tool, if sound is critical and you are working with video that long. All PS is meant to do is edit short DSLR clips, nothing more. Yes, it's some sort of bug/ limitation - you're simply running out of memory somewhere.

  • Disable calls with video silently in jabber 9.2.6

    Hello,
    My company just bought Jabber 9.2.6 and as an application packager I was selected to create a package that installs Jabber completely silently. I have no problems with the installation but they gave me instructions to select the "Never start calls with video" option and I cannot find how to disable this silently anywhere. I found that for previous Jabber version this was set in the jabber-config.xml file but I cannot find it anywhere in the 9.2.6 install. I thought this maybe was set through the registry but couldn't find any registry keys for this either. the only configuration files I see in Jabber install folder are          "log4cxx.properties", "jabber-config-defaults", "jabber-plugin-config", "jabber-ui-config", "plugin-config" and "StartupHandlerConfig". I couldn't find anything about calls with video in these files. Does anyone have any idea on how to enable this "Never start calls with video" option in Jabber 9.2.6 please?

    Hi Gabriel,
    you should follow instruction from CUCM docs :
    Migration of Cisco Jabber Video SettingsIn Cisco Unified Presence Release 8.x, the Always begin with video muted setting is configured in Cisco Unified Presence Administration under Application > Cisco Jabber > Settings. This setting is not migrated during the upgrade to the current release. In the current release, this setting is configured in Unified Communications Manager as a Cisco Jabber Enterprise Parameter called Never start call with video. The default value for the Never start call with video setting is False. If you want to configure calls to not start with video, you must set the Never start call with video value to True in theUnified Communications Manager Enterprise Parameter configuration window.
    And from Jabber side you should set StartCallWithVideo parameter in jabber-config.xml.
    In short:
    Admin should set Never Start Call with Video parameter to True.
    Admin should set StartCallWithVideo option to False in jabber-config.xml.
