Captivate 3 audio problems after publishing...

Help please... having problems with audio getting messed up after publishing.  I'm recording all audio w/in Captivate3. When I publish and put on our browser, the audio is missing on some slides, also if you pause for FF the video, the audio sometimes is overlaping, or not in sync.  Any suggestions?
Thank you
Bev

Hey Luke,
I apologize for not getting back sooner, been swamped at work and I'm
moving. OK here is my laundry list of bugs and nice to haves:
   - BUG - If I add silence to the beginning or end of a wavelength, it
   gets cut off when I save and close the wavelength. I then have to reopen
   the wavelength and add it back in and save it again. If I don't add silence
   the audio gets cut off when I publish. This has to be done for every slide
   I have and it's very repetitive.
   - BUG - If I create a movie over say 45 slides, the slides bleed into
   one another and images are lost or added to the next slide. If I use Fade
   for the transition it's even worse.
   - BUG - If I use Fade for a transition between slides with characters
   the characters bleed from one slide to the next.
   - NICE TO HAVE - The ability to set Preferences for characters per
   project or for all projects. For example, set the size and duration
   defaults.
   - NICE TO HAVE - It would be nice to have the default tab on the audio
   wavelengths be Edit not Add or Replace. I do a lot of narrating so having
   to click Edit for each slide becomes tedious.
OK, I want to be clear that I'm not beating up Adobe programmers and I do
LOVE the tool. It would just be a smoother experience if the above worked
or were in place. I do also have to add that I love all of the new widgets
and games!!! Haven't had time to explore them all, but I will soon and I'll
let you know more when I do. BTW are you sharing these email threads with
Adobe? Maybe we should put this online, what do you think?

  • I have Audio problems after 6.1.2 update. What do I do?

    Is anybody else having audio problems after updating to 6.1.2? How do I Fix it?

    No problems here.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Captivate shuts down after publishing

    Has anyone experienced Captivate shutting down after
    publishing? This keeps happening to an instructor, and I'm not sure
    of the solution. Is there a preference that I'm not aware of?
    Christine

    Hi Christine
    If mattturley's advice fails to help, you may also want to
    examine the path you are publishing to. I seem to recall that this
    issue can also appear if your output path is too long.
    For example, if your current path is:
    C:\Documents and Settings\Rick Stone\My Documents\My Adobe
    Captivate
    Projects\Cap2InstructorRollovers\Captions\Assets\WonderfulProjects\ThisWonderfulProject
    Try moving it closer to the root, as in:
    C:\CaptivateProjects\MyProject
    Cheers... Rick

  • Audio error after publishing or while previewing a project

    I have a very large project with branching. When either previewing or publishing (to flash), I have a section of slides that do not play their own audio, but rather, play audio from another part of the course. This happens for 5 slides in a row, the project seems to right itself.
    When I preview the affected slides alone, they play as expected and I don't have any other audio files attached to any elements on the page. The minute I try to view the entire project seems to be when the error comes up.
    I am using Captivate 4, and the audio is created using the text-to-speech option. I've  cleared out all unused audio files
    Thanks for your help!

    Thanks for the reply!
    I already had some gap between the start of the slide and the audio files. I went ahead and made the audio start after the slide had been going .5 seconds, but unfortunately I still have the same problem.
    I've recreated the slides and deleted the ones that were giving me problems and the problem is now fixed. That wouldn't have been fun if it were many more slides to rebuild.

  • Audio problems after battery drained

    Well, my ipod shuffle 2nd gen was working perfectly well. I'm sorry that I left it completely still in my desk for nearly a month... (No one ever touched it during that month)
    After that time, I connected it to my computer, it needed a while (about 5 minutes) before my PC recognized it. iTunes recognized my ipod too, and I can sync music, copy files to and from my ipod. The problem was, when I plugged in the ear-phone, no sound came from my ipod, only some kind of weird noises. At first, I thought it would be my ear-phone's problem, but I tested it carefully with my other Music devices. I'm pretty sure the audio jack had problem, because I could hear disturbed music on my ear-phone. My questions are, why can the audio jack have problem after a month with no-one touch the ipod, and is there any solution for my problems? (I really don't want to use it as a 1GB flash disk...)

    what kind of speed changes do you mean? If you mean using some clips in slo-mo (with the sound dropped out) then yes I used a LOT of them... but they are also working fine for the first several minutes...

  • Audio problems after exporting out of iMovie

    Aloha!
    I have a 48 minute movie created in imovie with lots of audio, clips and transitions. It works perfectly when I preview or play it in iMovie. When I try to share it to iDvd, export to iDvd, or to save it as a Quicktime movie, it looks great for several minutes, then the audio tracks get messed up. The correct audio is there, but overlayed on it is snippets from farther into the project, or whole tracks from later in the project, or places where the audio drops out completely. I spent about 70 hours creating this movie and really want to burn it to DVD so I can play it on the big screen. I did burn one version to dvd, and it looked and sounded great - until the audio problems began... any help would be greatly appreciated.
    In Garage Band there is a feature where you can consolidate your bits into one track - should I be doing something in iMovie after I finish it before I export it?

  • Iphone 4 audio problems after ios6 upgrade

    DESPERATE, i am back on my laptop with a borrowed charger and i plugged my phone into itunes. It now says i have to restore it back to factory settings. Meaning, i will lose all of my contacts, pictures, etc. because i havn't been able to back it up onto my laptop.
    I definitely don't want anything deleted off of my phone. Did any body else have this problem? Is there ANYTHING i can do to refrain from restoring it and losing all of my memory?
      Couldn't you have backed it up to the "iCloud"? or some other cloud based storage before you did the upgrade? If you do not back things up before you upgrade your OS, you are only asking for things to go wrong.

  • Audio problems when publishing to YouTube with Adobe Captivate 5.5

    I was using Audacity to record audio, then importing the audio into Adobe Captivate 5.5. One I recorded earlier, before my computer was changed, but published into YouTube after it was changed published fine. But now, after doing recordings with Audacity and within Captivate itself, on different computers and everything, I am getting no sound when publishing to YouTube. It sounds fine in Captivate, but I get zilch sound in YouTube. I have tried different computers to record and listen to the video, different microphones, different audio levels, but to no avail. What am I doing wrong?

    Hi there
    I'm a simpleton at heart.
    Have you tried ensuring that the speaker icon isn't muted?

  • Double playback of audio files after publishing

    Hello,
    I'm having an issue with audio playback.  Once I publish the project, the audio files play back double, with the second one starting about 3 seconds after the first.  If I pause the project, one of the audio files keeps playing.  I removed the auto play function, but no change.  I would greatly appreciate any tips if anyone has experienced this before.
    Thank you!

    Hi Anjaneai, Thanks for the response.
    I don't have any text captions in this project, the entire thing is from PowerPoint, where the audio files worked perfectly fine.   I also checked the use count, everything reads as "1"... I also tried to begin from scratch with just one slide and one audio file, and the same thing happened.  I'm beginning to think my audio files are corrupted.  (However, they play fine in itunes and powerpoint).  I converted them from mp4 > mp3 with an online converter... might just be the problem! I'm going to download a trial of premier and see what happens with that!
    Thanks for the help,
    Jaime

  • Quicktime Audio Disappears after Publishing

    Hi -
    I'm using iWeb 09; I have long been using iWeb to publish my website - part of that has been uploading mp3 files for people to listen to.
    My problem is suddenly my files, which play perfectly in iWeb, don't even show up on the page after I publish it. Previously, when the page first loaded, the Quicktime symbol would appear under the image placeholder until the file loaded and then you could play it. Now, after waiting, there is nothing but the image placeholder.
    For the life of me, I cannot figure this out. It is this way on Firefox; Safari 4 shows an Quicktime sybmol with a question mark (both on my Mac), and on a PC with IE7 it doesn't show up at all.
    I've searched here and across the web and cannot find anyone else who has encountered this problem. Please help!
    an example page is www.newlifelaurel.cc/podcasts_20090920am.html

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Is the podcase link right below this graphic or is the graphic?

    If so make sure the graphic is not overlapping the QT file.

  • Audio problem after rendering!

    Hi everyone! I am having a problem with sound in my project after rendering. I am using Adobe Premiere CS2 , and in Audio track 1, I have someone speaking, and in track 2 I have backround music. When I play it back in the window, together it sounds perfect. After rendering, the voice becomes very crackly and distorted. I have tried rendering just the voice without the backround music, and it sounds perfect. It seems the addition of backround music is causing the distortion to the other track. I have tried rendering the backround music seperately and adding it in, but still the problem persists. I adjust the music so that when the kids are talking, the music dips down, and when they are not, I leave it at it's normal level. HELP..I am losing my grip on this one! Thanks so much....Tammy

    Tammy,
    If we've dropped a bit of time for this part of the edit, you now have time for more fun aspects of it.
    While I will casually monitor my Meters, I spend much more time with a good set of noise-canceling headphones, listening critically. The Meters are basically to point up potential issues. With Audio, if you have not invested in a really good set of headphones, do yourself a big favor, and sneak 'em into the budget.
    Glad that you got things toned down.
    Now, let's go on to Lesson 02 - The Audio Mixer. Unlike adding Keyframes to a Clip, when your cutting is done, you can apply Track Keyframes to attenuate (also Pan, etc.) you Audio Tracks to suit. One would just change the Send in that Track to Write, or Touch, and "ride the gain" with the slider, as is required. I probably do most of my Audio editing there, than addressing the individual Clips. First thing that I have done is cut back a bit on the frequency of the Track Keyframes in Edit>Preferences, as I find the default to add too many (and you can go in and adjust these by hand, if you need to "smooth" things out a bit.). One caution: do this when you are satisfied with the cuts, Clip placement, etc., as these Keyframes are applied to the Track. If you were to remove a Clip, and replace it, those Keyframes would apply to that new Clip, whether you want them to, or not. This trips some folk up, if they do the Audio Mixer thing too soon in the editing. Wait until you are "in love" with your Timeline otherwise. It's like scoring a Project. One does that as about the very last step, or much work will be repeated, and that is not fun.
    Good luck,
    Hunt

  • Audio problems after exporting

    I have created a 43 minute iMovie with very, very heavy editing.
    I love my movie, and until recently, it would play back fine within the application.
    (but now, not even this works for me anymore.)
    When I export the movie in any format, My audio gets all mixed up.. Random audio clips from other parts of the movie are heard with, or substituted during other parts. It is so frustrating after so much hard work.
    Is there any way to resolve this problem without having to start from scratch?

    Dito! I just worked for months on 45 min movie and the same problem. And the answer is WHAT?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! whats the piont of beat markers and the ability to use all these things and now i have to WHAT??????? go back and try to re edit the speeds? Great I switched to an Apple only to find out BIG mistake. I cannot believe this has not been fixed. Whata joke! I have to get this DVD in the hands of someone by the end of the weekend that might be able to change my life and i have made a GRAVE mistake in intrusting it in a MAC

  • Ipad 2 audio problem after updating to 8.1.2

    Immediately after updating my ipad2 to version 8.1.2, the audio is distorted.  Even the key clicks are distorted.  I've reset the ipad, I've restored the ipad.  No luck.  Anyone else having this problem?  Any suggestions ?
    Thanks

    Actually, I found out what to do: The mono button under accessibility needs to be toggled on and then off again.
    I asked Siri who provided some good links from when the problem happened with version 7.

  • [solved] audio problem after update

    hi, after the kernel update of yesterday i have a problem with my audio. after a reboot, my audio is totally absent. i have saw that the pulseaudio process is present and activate, and all graphically is ok (all indicators works well). the strange thing is that if i put headphones and then i releave them, all magically works normally!
    Last edited by blauman (2014-06-19 17:12:06)

    ok i don't need it...i have solved with
    Load equalizer and dbus module on every boot
    Edit the file /etc/pulse/default.pa with your favorite editor and append the following lines:
    ### Load the integrated PulseAudio equalizer and D-Bus module
    load-module module-equalizer-sink
    load-module module-dbus-protocol
    on wiki of pulseaudio...i don't know why, i had already done it in past, but i don't know why on my default.pa there aren't these lines..seems now it works!

  • Audio problems after windows 8.1 update

    My audio volume has gone to barely audible after I went to 8.1 however only for certain things.
    When I try to listen to a vidio clip on Yahoo or other news feeds I can barely hear anything and when I play
    free cell or solitare and make a wrong move the audio warning is just barley audible.
    However when I listen to a Facebook audio it comes booming in as before the upgrade. and when Malware bites
    does a update the signal is very loud
    I re downloaded the realtec audio driver for 8.1 and have gone through all the settings I know about
    and nothing works to help.
    I would go back to the old Windows 8 ( I don't think 8.1 is any better anyway ) but I will loose my
    Microsoft office download and some game downloads I have installed and have to re buy them.
    Any Help ?

    Hi rckuehl.  It may have been caused by installing the Microsoft August 2014 update for Windows 8.1 - KB2975719.
    Try uninstalling the KB2975719 to see if the sound problems go away.  If not, try installing newer Realtek HD Audio drivers as your E55-A5114 laptop uses Realtek audio drivers; original driver for that model was 6.0.1.7026.  The latest Realtek HD Audio driver from Toshiba is version 6.0.1.7329 which was posted 9-25-2014.
