Captivate 4 - Adding Skin Changes my Project Size - Why?

When I create a blank project in Captivate 4 - And set the dimensions - Then add navigation controls to the bottom of my screen, the screen height is increased by 37 pixels - Apparently because the nav controls are being placed outside.the screen dimensions I defined for the project, thus ultimately increasing the overall height of the output screen. When I did this in Captivate 3, the nav controls were incorporated into the screen dimensions I set when creating the project - so when I defined 950H X 666W, that's what I got for my output screen size.
Now when I set the dimensions to 950H X 666W, and add the nav controls, my output screen dimensions become 950H X 703H.
Am I missing a setting? - Or is this just the way the new version is and I need to work around it?

Changing the slide size

I am trying to do a presentation in 11x17, I went into "page setup" and changed the size, but its still the standard 81/2 x 11... Is there something else that I'm supoosed to be doing???
thanks

Can you clarify what you want to do? Paper sizes are not how on-screen presentation dimensions are measured -- presentations are determined by pixel dimensions, which are set in the Document Inspector, in the Slide Size dropdown menu. Changing the Page Setup dimensions will change the paper size that the slides are printed on, but won't change the projected size.

Change project size after recording

Is it possible to change the project screen size after it has already been recorded? I have a presentation that was recorded at 670 px tall and would really like to shrink it back down to 800 X 600 so it can fit in a browser window without scrolling.
Thanks,
Whitney

Hi there
Try clicking Project > Rescale.
Note that this will likely affect the overall quality of the project. I'd start by clicking File > Save As to preserve a pristine copy of the original.

Changing project size / resolution

I've captured a software demo with 1024 x 768. If you want to
see this demo on a system with a screen resolution of 1024 x 768
you've got a problem to use the play bar.
How can I change the size of the slides so it fits to systems
with lower screen resolutions?

In the menu "project" you should have an entry "change
project size" (or something similar, I've a german version of
captivate)
In the opening dialog you can change the size for the whole
project, there is the possibility to scale the slides somewhat
smaller or to crop them.

Captivate 8 - How to change to producing "project.json" file instead of a "project.txt" file? Having issues with viewing published projects due to this. Would be thankful fo rany/all advice.

I'm having the same issue. I've been able to work around it by opening the txt file and copying the contents. Then I open a new file in Sublime Text 2, paste the contents and save the new file as "project.json". It seems to work, but it'd been nice if I didn't have to do this everytime I publish a new project.

Video files in Captivate 6 externalize when publishing the project. Is there any way to publish an SWF project with the video files all in one single file?

Rhonda, I used Captivate 6. Create a New Project. Set the project size to the size of your MP4. In my experience, this was 640 v 480 which also happened to fit nicely within my final project.
From the menu, select Video > Insert Video. Choose "Multi-slide Synchronized" and point to the MP4 on your local drive. Select a skin and playbar that you like from Project > Skin Editor. Then publish. In the Publish dialog, choose SWF as your output format option (not HTML5).
This is the SWF that I added to my master project through Insert > Animation.
Hope this helps!

Captivate 6 Screens Blurry after Rescaling Project

After I rescaled my project from 1280 x 720 down to 1024 x 576, the individual screens look blurry. Any ideas?...please help!

Just today we started a project with a ton of software demos. We set up the right monitor to 1024 x 768 to capture to recordings and screen captures.
I designed to interface at 1400 x 900 to allow the the captures to be inserted into the project without the need to scale or to capture a portion of the screen. Normally we would have navigation and instructions on the left side of the interface, but the customer wanted a top/bottom interface this time.
We publish scalable which works very well. We also publish to 100% with zero compression.
If we want to scale down (1024 x 658 for example) we change the swf size in the html output. That way we still have to original resolution of the Captivate file. Granted it would be optimal to actually resize before output, but we the users don't have a bandwidth issue.
Scaling down is always a better option as opposed to scaling up.

Text caption changes font/colour/size

Hi
The Recording Defaults for the Text Caption in the prferences has not been altered.
On some slides I need to add a text caption.
I'm finding that sometimes when I click to add a Text Caption the font, colour and size is different to what the default settings are. The default is Arial, 12, #0000FF.
When I manually add a text caption it'll show as System, 10 and black.
Has anyone come across this before? Is there a way to stop it. It's really annoying and a time waster to have to manually change the font, size and colour. And you have to be on your guard. It's not every time I manually add a text caption, just sometimes. It's intermittent.
Thanks
Anita

Hi there
The name will vary from version to version.
Captivate_v10.dat
Captivate_v20.dat
Captivate_v30.dat
Captivate_v40.dat
The location also varies. For me, it is:
D:\Documents and Settings\Rick\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe Captivate
As you can see, D is my drive letter. Yours will likely be C. My name is Rick and is how I log in. Yours will be different. Also, the "Application Data" folder is likely to be hidden from your view unless you adjust Windows to show it to you. And all of this is likely in a different location if you are using Vista or Windows 7. I'm using XP Pro.
Note that you cannot edit this file. Captivate does that internally. About all you are able to do is to close Captvate and delete or rename it. Captivate will then cook up a fresh one when it starts up and cannot locate it.
Cheers... Rick

Sudden huge increase in project size

So I've got this problem with projects where when I go in and maybe tweak an automation parameter and save, the project size shoots thru the roof, and for instance after doing this a few times with one of my projects, it has gone from 33 MB to - I kid you not - 297 MB.
Scared to make any more changes to it now, it will be at 1GB in no time.
This is not including audio files or anything - just the project (song) file itself.
Anyone else encountering this?

Are you maybe recording your Automation in "write" mode? Try latch/touch mode instead where only the automation is written which you are actually using on your tracks. Check your Automation event lists for redundant automation data.

Is it possible to change the font size and weight in an ADF table?

Is it possible to change the font size and weight in an ADF table? I have tried to change the various font size and weight settings for a table and its columns and they seem to have no effect on the font size or weight in a table row.

You would use skinning to modify font-size & weight for the table.
In addition to the link suggested by Vinod,
Take a look at http://biemond.blogspot.com/2009/01/adf-skinning-in-jdeveloper-11g.html

Maximum project size exceeded

Is there a way to change the maximum project size? I have an index of images on a drive, broken into folders, and I want them all in the same project.

No ... 10,000 is the limit ...
why not store each folder (from your hd) as a project and put those within blue folders ...
this way, clicking on a higher level folder will show all contents of all projects within it ...

Setting up the correct custom project size size for keynote presentation in FCP 7 or motion?

Hi...anyone else do this?
I have been creating and editing films in FCP (not X) for years now and have got into creating the whole presentation for clients awards ceremonies etc. via Keynote on my iPad via HDMI to HD projectors and it looks amazing and is seamless on the night. No need for crappy powerpoint slides and jumping to low res DVD films - its all controlled via my iPad.
But i want to up the creativity of the presentations - at the moment we import the films as mp4 HD QT files and jpegs of the speakers/nominees/titles screens etc. created in Photoshop and put the whole thing together in Keynote on my iPad. It worked a treat and my clients love it!
Now i had a thought and did a test and created Motion graphics versions of the speakers titles and nominees screens in Apple Motion - so that they had an animated section at the start with whoosh audio stingers as they are played and not just stills - and then export them as QT files - import to FCP 7 timeline and export to compresser ready to convert to mp4 for Keynote.
This way i can extend the static part of the screen after the motion graphic part to say 10 mins as i never know how long the speaker will be on stage.
Then when the speaker moves on the next item i can hit the ipad which will move to the next presentaion screen!
Q. Now ive been doing these as HD 16:9 screens - but when imported to Keynote I have a white band top and bottom on the screen so i really need to start with a template screen size of 1024 x 768 for Keynote and also keep this size in FCP 7! And also export to Quicktime as the same size.
When i do static jpegs to import into Keynote i just define the pixel canvas size - 1024 x 768 @ 300dpi in Photoshop and it works fine but im not sure what to do in Motion or PCP as I have always created my films in 16:9 HD widescreen preset!
Anyone else doing this and got a solution to my problem and can help with custom project sizes in motion and FCP 7!

1024x768 is 4x3. 2048x1536 is 4x3. Both of these are current display dimensions for iPads 1-3.
HD video (1920x1080 or 1280x720) is a 16x9 aspect ratio.
Try putting a rectangle in a square. Unless you scale the retangle up and lose image on the sides you will not be able to properly fill the entire 4x3 display area. The easy compromise is letterboxing to ensure all of the rectangle is display in the square. The iPad is doing this with very little effort on your part.
In FC you can create a new sequence and go into the settings and customize it to 1024x768, 2048x1536 or
just about any other dimension. Even If you create a custom sequence at 1024 or 2048 in FC you will see the same results that the iPad is giving you with much less effort, render and conversion time (presuming your keynote workspace cannot change in dimensions or aspect ratio and you are unwilling to crop your 16x9 aspect ratio video to fill the space.)

How to change the font size of pdf reports

hi,
in my project i'm using wad for my reports
when i execute these reports from wad and convert it into pdf format the font size of the pdf report is very small.
what can i do in order to rectify this?
are there any settings where i can change the font size?
thanks in advance

I do not have AA6 available right now (I can check at home this evening). I am also using AA Pro, not Std. In AA7, there is a text box tool that is a commenting tool. When I started typing, a properties toolbar came up that had the font size and such. I haven't figured out how to get the toolbar after the fact. In AA8, I selected the text box tool and then went to view and selected the properties bar (the font size and all showed then), or use Ctrl-E when editing the text. I have not been able to figure out how to edit the text in a text box after you have created it - think it is a mental block right now. Bill
