Captions and Buttons for Captivate 5.5 Templates

I can't seem to find the buttons or captions from the templates in Captivate 5.5 so I can edit them (change the color). Does anyone know where they're located? For example, design5_correct_caption or design5_submit (from the Black_and_white.cptx template).
Thanks.

Hello and welcome,
Did you see the Help? And that is certainly not a complete documentation. How do you want to see such a list for an application that has that many features?
In the Help you'll certainly find an answer about SCORM supported (1.2 and 2004) and the templates used in 6 are improved ones. Types of questions you'll find in the Help easily (didn't change that much) but the extended features like Branch aware, partial scoring, remediation, Submit all, pretest, penalties you'll have to look a bit further. No games, nor mathematical equations included except the Wordgame Interaction in Captivate 6. With Advanced actions you can have the 4 primary mathematical operators, but no functions are available.
I published some lists on my blog (Effects, Widgets, Statements in Advanced actions, System variables), with more details, use cases and tips. Perhaps not what you are looking for?

Pause button for Captivate 4

I've done a lot of work for a customer, originally I used a shortened playbar with next/back and play/pause. Now with issues in Captivate 4 (The playbar appears below the course instead of on top) I need to import a Pause button as I cant use the skin anymore.
I downloaded the Pause/Play button from Raising Aimee which was excellent (Great site by the way) but if the course is paused and you move on the graphic still shows that it is paused but the button acts like its defaulted back to the other state.
How do people here pause (and resume) their courses effectively ? The pause in the playbar was excellent but I cant seem to recreate it in a standard Captivate course.
I just want to have a button which pauses the course and obviously when you press it again it moves on. If you pause the course and then press the button for the next page the course is unpaused (and the button resets).
I'm hoping its something easy ?!

Hi there
I thought that Paul's gizmo did change state when you paused. I'm probably wrong about that. You may wish to contact him and see if he has changed it or is willing to modify it.
As for the playback controls and positioning. Please submit this as a bug to the Adobe Captivate team. While I'm sure they won't view it as a bug, it actually is because they decided to change from something you were used to and introduce something that no longer works for you. Thus forcing you to change your workflow in search of something that works.
Cheers... Rick

I have lost all my captioning and keywording for a large number of .dng and raw files on transfer to LR6 CC - any help!

I have imported my old LR5 catalogue into LR6 CC but appear to have lost a lot of my captioning and keywording to a very large number of files which are either .dng or other raw formats. I am working on a Mac. Can somebody please help as I am very worried about losing vital information.
Thanks!
Gerry

OK, I may have pinned this down to the problem, and it may not be LR6 related. Reimporting my LR5 catalogue shows that the information is there on files that are marked as missing from catalogue (i.e. marked '!'). These are missing because I have renamed them, and it would suggest that the renamed file is not linking with the old .xmp file. Do you know of a way I can link the renamed file with the old .xmp file? Would I have to laboriously go through all my .xmp files and rename them for instance?

Unable to finalize viewing of agreement on iPhone 4s to get to apps! Get to finalize page 53 and button for Next is grayed out. Help!

I set up my Apple ID..I can see it and sign in. When I try to download an app, it asks me to verify that I read the Terms. I go page by page (even tried just downloading to my email) and get to page 53 of 53 then NO OPTION TO CONTINUE! I have tried several times. Help!

Yes! I definitely need that extra info because I don't know what each steps do. Alright, as first i restarted my router and modem as well as Resetting all settings and network too. Then, i tried connecting to my home wifi and after a few seconds, the login page pop out again which disables my wifi. So i try changing my SSID by adding just an alphabet and then changing my wireless channel to 1 ( it was auto earlier ) . I tried connecting to my wifi. It connects, and I am still waiting for it to drop while typing this reply. It still stays connected and hopefully it will continue to connect without problems anymore. If the problem is solved, will changing my SSID back to the previous one bring back the problem? If the problem is still there after an hour, what more should I do? Thanks fromsouth. I really appreciate your kind help!

Create an excel template for a report and open it always in that template

Hi,
I've a question. I have a report in BI Answers. I would export it in BI Publisher and create for it an excel template which contains any text and a macro. Then I would associate report to the template so that when i open report in BI Publisher, it appears in my template document and i can apply macro.
It's possible?
All regards
Giancarlo

With a new account, you'll need to rebuy the games.
Each user should have their own icloud account, otherwise they end up getting the same emails, contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, etc. - usually not what you want. But if all have been sharing the same itunes ID, keep it that way, you can have different IDs for itunes and icloud.
If you already have another icloud account, and want to set it up on a device, then go to Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account. This only disconnects the device from that account, no data is lost on icloud. Then enter the account ID that you want to use.
To create a new icloud account, go to

Captivate 5.5 Template -- Settings for Demo and Training modes

Hi
I am trying to create a Captivate 5.5 template for our simulations which will be captured in both Demonstration and Training modes.
In the template file, I go to Edit > Preferences > Modes, select the both the modes (from the drop-down list) and make required settings, and save the template.
Now, when I try to record a new project based on this template, I am asked to select any one of the modes. As a result, I get only one type of output. How to get both modes in one go? Is there a workaround?
Thanks for your help.

You'll need to add your simulation capture slides to the template AFTER capturing the two outputs. The template can only really be used as a shell to add introduction and conclusions, as well as quizzing etc.
Since (as Lieve points out) you end up with separate files for each different output, you'll also need to use the templates to create a shell project for each different output, and then paste the slides from the captures into the shell as it were.
Quite frankly, you're better off doing things this way anyway (capturing first and then pasting the capture slides into another shell project) because in any capture project you need to do quite a bit of editing and culling of duplicates or redundant captures. It's quicker and easier to do this editing when the project file is smaller. So what I do is clean up my captures first to get down to the minimum number of slides required for the simulation, and then paste those slides into my project file generated from the template. I do the copy/paste after culling out the unnecessary slides, but before saving the capture file. That way, I always have all of the original captures as a backup in case I went too far in the culling. Only after the project has been finalised to I go back and delete the original captures.

Error by exporting Captivate to Word: "Project Captions and Closed Captions"

Hello everybody,
I'm from Germany, working in Heidelberg and I've got a problem! I would so much appreciate if somebody would have a solution for it.
Nobody could help me yet - no Adobe support via chat, no Adobe support via phone. They said the forum is my last chance. I'm frustrated. But a solution is important for my ongoing project...
Description of the problem situation:
I've created an e-learning project in German language. This e-learning shall be translated into other languages, so I want to export a word document with the captions inside. I'm doing this way:
File > Export > Project Captions and Closed Captions, and save it as word doc.
But then, after I typed in a name for the word document, another "Save as"-window appears in the background (I discovered it by coincidence) and wants me to save a word template before the export process starts. Here's a screenshot:
I don't know the reason for this second "Save as" window, so I try to save a word template (I saved it on my desktop, because I don't know where else).
After klicking on "Save" the following error message appears:
(in English: Error by exporting of captions. Try the following things: if Microsoft Word is installed, if Word is open, if the exported file is open etc.)
It's not depending on the captivate file as such, I tried it with other ones (which have only one slide) - the same problem.
It's not depending on my computer, I tried it with another one in my office - there was the same thing, same error message (but without the step of saving a word template!).
Maybe important: My hardware and versions I'm working with...
Windows 7 Professional (Service Pack 1), 64bit
Adobe Captivate 8
Microsoft Word 2010
Does anyone has the same problem or does anyone know the answer for this problem?
I would really really appreciate your answers!! Thank you in advance!
Chris

Dear Mayank, dear Lilybiri,
thank you both soooo much, I couldn't belive what I saw as the export of captions worked!!! It was really surprising!
I guess your both solutions helped me out - Mayank's hint of the admin's rights was the necessary information! But it first worked because Lilybiri told me to insist and to try it after I restarted the PC - and to do it several times! So it worked!! Otherwise I would probably still be confused.
Thank you so much!
Here's the proof
Chris
PS: Does anyone know, why I still have to decide if I want to save the "Adobe Captivate" Template thing?
Every time I'm doing an export it asks me every time if I want to save or not save the "Adobe Captivate"-file...

Creating Photoshop buttons for motion menus and photoshop menus

Hi I need to create buttons in photoshop for both a photoshop menu and a motion menu on DVD studio pro program
Can someone tell me how to do it on both different menus?
I really need some DETAILS on how to do it. Thanks for your time and responses ahead of time

OK, here's what I recommend you try...
Create the footage for your motion menu background. In that footage fade in the button shapes and text for the buttons exactly as you want them to appear. Hold the final position of these buttons for at least 30 seconds. save an image of the still portion to act as a guide in photoshop. Encode that footage to MPEG2 using Compressor and import it in to DVDSP.
Take the still image in to photoshop and add a single layer to the file. On the new layer, create a shape of some kind (an underline, tick, circle, cross, box around, arrow, etc) next to the background button text. Make these shapes (for each piece of background text) black, and leave the rest of the layer white. Hide or delete the background layer and save the result as a .pict image. Import it in to DVDSP.
Take the motion footage and drop it in to a menu. use the loop point in the property inspector to define where the 'still' portion of that footage begins. Now drag the .pict overlay image in to the same menu, but hold it a second until the contextual menu appears... set it as the overlay. Drag out button rectangles around the background text and position for the shapes in the overlay. Make sure the rectangles don't overlap, and set up the target for these buttons as well as the navigation between them.
Use the property inspector to adjust the colours for the overlay - set it to be a simple overlay and in grayscale. What should happen is that when the menu plays the animated sequence starts first but as soon as the loop point is reached the overlay becomes active. The first button defined will be set as selected. You should now see the menu with the buttons faded in to position and the buttons should be clickable.
When returning to this menu you may not want the viewer to sit through the animated sequence each time. Use a script (in DVDSP4) to specify that they return to the loop point only (the bit where the buttons are) or create a second menu that is identical to the loop point and send the viewer there instead.
As you can see, there are several steps involved and I have made assumptions that you know something about menus and constructing buttons. It is all in the manual, but you will need to be familiar with Photoshop (or whatever image editor you prefer) to do this properly.
You do not need to try to make four layer shapes and bring them in to the menu, and if you attempt to add anything else from the templates panel to this menu then the image quality will suffer as DVDSP builds the disc. If you do want to add other shapes and text to the menu then don't do the export to MPEG2... keep it as a simple QT .mov file.
Please let us know how you get on after trying this method, and after reading up on those manuals

Can I have an action occur only after a button / click box is clicked and held for three seconds?

Within Captivate, I am trying to simulate touching and holding a button for three seconds on a touch pad to get a second window to come up. I have an image of the touchpad and an image of the second window. Now I have to set up the interaction. Is it possible for me to have an image "show" -- in this case, the second window - only after a click box or button is held for three (or more) seconds?
Thanks for any help!
Ryan

Hi TLCMediaDesign,
That sounds very interesting and I would like to learn how to do it. I just read Common JS interface and I know how to manipulate the output at runtime using the JS console, but that is all I really know how to do...
To understand your answer, I had to make a few assumptions. When you say JS "post publishing", you mean going into one of the JS files that get published with the project such as standard.js and manipulating that. Is that correct?
My second question has to do with the event listener. I have some experience with JS in the past and manipulating HTML elements, for example. How do I find a particular button, or any Captivate object in the JS? HTML elements always have IDs and classes...
Thanks for any help..

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]
Thanks,
Mayank

Can we translate in captivate 7? I Have tried and changed the Caption and Notes. Can we change the on screen text of te normal slides, interactive call out boxes, screen recording slides and quizzes? If yes, please let me know the process.

Of course! Here ya go
For the record, I did create a new project with only two slides to try and duplicate the issue. I had the same problem. I unchecked the Mouse Click Sound check box, republished and the slide auto advanced. I'm wondering if a default sound file was somehow moved or deleted? I discussed uninstalling and reinstalling C7 onto my laptop, but that's a frustrating solution haha

Creating DVD Templates buttons for use in Premiere Elements

I have tried to create buttons for use in the "DVD create template" function.
Everything goes fine apart from the fact that, when I add the button (within the wizard) it becomes part of the background.
Does anybody out there know if it is possible to create new buttons in PE4.0 and, if yes, how to do it?
Thanks

Even though this function is in PS Elements 4, I suggest that you look in the Premiere Elements forum where you might find an existing thread on this topic. If not, ask your question there because the primary audience for this function is people who have both products.

My safari menu bar is missing --the menu bar for desktop, HD, and apps appears, but when I click on Safari, it disappears, so I can no longer see my buttons for History, etc. I think my husband (pc user) clicked it away. Any ideas how to retrieve it?

My safari menu bar is missing. The menu bar for desktop, HD, and apps appears, but when I click on Safari, it disappears, so I can no longer see my buttons for History, etc. I think my husband (pc user) clicked it away when borrowing my computer. Any ideas how to retrieve it? Thanks.

I too was having the same problem However, I could access both the menu bar and the dock by hovering my mouse over them so it wasn't a huge problem but I prefered having it there anyway. I was not in full screen mode and I could still go into full screen mode if I wanted to. I found the easiest solution was to just quit safai and restart it, but it might not work for you considering you couldn't access you menu bar either way.
I found this article that allows you to hide/show the menu bar and the dock through TextEdit (didn't work for me) http://www.mactricksandtips.com/2009/07/hide-the-menubar-or-dock-in-specific-app s.html It is pretty old so it might not work for lion and a bit risky if you don't know what you're doing so I wouldn't really recommend doing it this way.
And KSheppard, I know it's not really any of my buisness, but the way to get answers to a question isn't by insulting others and being quick-tempered. Even if you feel like you were insulted first, don't try snapping at people who aren't obligated to help you. Honestly, it just makes everything easier if everybody is cooperative and polite.
