Captivate 4 files compatible with Captivate 8?

I am currently using Captivate 4 and am looking at getting Captivate 8.  Can someone confirm that my current Captivate 4 .cp files aren't compatible in Captivate 8 and that I need to purchase Captivate 5 before going to 8?  Thanks!

There is no option to purchase Captivate 5 now.  As Lieve says, your best bet is to find someone that already has a copy of Cp5 or 5.5 and get them to upgrade your files to CPTX format so that you can update them to Cp8 more easily.
I also agree with Lieve that Cp4 is now so old you would be better off canning those projects and starting again.  Almost nobody is using Cp4 anymore. 
According to a survey that I have had running on my website over 43% of users now seem to be on Cp8.  Captivate 4, 5, and 5,5 now only account for about 6% of the overall market.  You need to act fast to get all of your projects up to Cp8 format.

    Are cp file extensions created with Captivate 4  compatable with Captivate 8?

    Hi there
    I believe you will need a copy of version 5 or 6 to open the CP with and convert to a CPTX. Then you can open using 8.
    Additionally, you may discover that things become a bit mangled during the upgrades. Many have not gone smoothly and have forced a rebuild of the project.

  • How can our customer edit our Captivate 6 content with Captivate 5?

    Our company has decided to dive into the e-learning business and create e-learnings.  We just purchased a Captivate 6 subscription, unfortunately before finding out our customer uses Captivate 5.  He would like to edit our files once in a while when he needs to if he doesn't have enough time to have us do it.   Is there anyway he can edit content produced in Captivate 6 with his Captivate 5.  Can I export files of a certain type that he can in turn import and add to his Captivate 5 and edit himself?  In other words, what kind of files can I export from Captivate 6 than he can import with Captivate 5 and make small changes to?
      Vielen Dank,
                 Ryan

    Thank you.  I see that I can export content as an .xml file.  Isn’t this something he can upload with Captivate 5?    Thanks for bearing with my naivety. : )

  • Are animated ellipses in OAM files compatible with DPS?

    I tried creating a basic animation with an ellipses flying into the stage. but for some reason the ellipses isn't displaying on Adobe Content Viewer.
    I've done the same thing with a rectangle, and the animation works fine.  Are animated ellipses in OAM files compatible with DPS?

    Ellipses animations on the Desktop Adobe Content Viewer are coming out as squares. Preview looks fine on the device.

  • Is Captivate not compatible with IVONAs SAPI5 voices?

    Hi!
    I am using Captivate 6 and TTS to create training material. I've tried 5 voices from Neospeech but they all sound too much like a computer. I read that Captivate works with SAPI5-compatible voices so I bought a SAPI5-voice from IVONA (Amy).
    I read about the issue that IVONA voices needs to be selected as default in Windows, but that was easily done. The voice sounds very well. My problem is that I can not control the pronounciation?
    The pronounciation of Neospeech voices could be controlled using VTML-tags. Unfortunatelly there was no tag for emphasis so the control was quite limited.
    I tried to use both VTML-tags and SAPI5-tags to control the pronounciation of IVONA-voice in Captivate but whatever I do, the voice reads all tags out loud, not following them. I even tried to add extra "." and "," to create a pause between sentences but nothing works.
    To make sure the problem was not with the voice I tried SAPI-tags in the TTS-editor from IVONA and it worked well.
    Any idea how to control pronounciation of IVONA voices in Captivate?
    Best regards
    /Jonas

    Hi again!
    Just an update. I contacted Adobe support and their answer was that third party voices can be used in Captivate but there is no way to control the pronounciation or adding pauses in Captivate. This is only possible for Neospeech voices where you may use VTML-tags. According to me that means that Captivate is NOT really compatible with 3rd party voices, SAPI5-complient or not.
    The 5-6 included voices from Neospeech all sound too robotic and my client was amused rather than impressed when hearing them. I really wanted to use a quality voice and bought Amy from IVONA. I am very disappointed that it can't be used easily in Captivate. The work around is to record a sound-file for each page and import, which will take twice as long for each page and be harder to keep updated.
    Best regards

  • Captivate File Created with Trial Will Not Open in Paid for Captivate

    I have a file created by Trial version of captivate. It was created in a different computer. Now, I have to make some modification in the file. However, when I tried to open it with Captivate 5.5, I got the error shown below. I am not able to use the popular solution provided in this link Click here to view   because the file was not created in my computer. I believe that there is a lock on the file since it was created with Trial version of captivate. Is it possible that I send the file to a representative, and they look into it?

    Was the file created with the same version? You talk about 'trial', but the only trial version available at this moment is Captivate 8. You were never able to open a Captivate project in a previous version, that explains why you cannot open it in 5.5.

  • Is Captivate 7 backward compatible with Captivate 6?

    We are about to do a lot of work for a client that requires us to procure about 10-12 licenses of Captivate. We already had about 3 Captivate 6 licenses and thought we'd buy the remaining 7-9 licenses of Captivate 6. We're now contemplating purchasing Captivate 7 and wanted to check if we could share project files between team members with Captivate 6 and Captivate 7 -- or is it a case of a project created in Captivate 6 will not open/work in Captivate 7 and vice-versa?
    Thanks,
    Sean

    Hello and welcome,
    Although you can open CP7 projects in CP6 some functionality will be lost. I checked not everything, but if you use advanced actions in CP7 then they will just disappear when opening the project in CP6. Maybe there are more incompatibilities but the good thing is that at least you can open the projects, which was not the case for previous versions.

  • How can I view captivate files emailed with translated text?

    I cannot open captivate files with translated text. System states the file is not damaged. If file was an attachment make sure it was decoded correctly.

    I think I was encountering the same issue.
    I solved it installing Itunes 10.5.1(42), even if I'm not using Itunes at all.
    Albumarts will now appear in every folder from the finder.
    I closed my topic because I solved it :

  • Is there any way to create a file compatible with Premiere Pro

    Is there any way to create a file in Premiere elements that is compatible with Premiere Pro and that can be used in Premiere Pro

    Consternation
    The important information that I do not see mentioned nor offered by you.
    1.What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system it is running? What version of Premiere Pro do you want to use?
    The Premiere Pro Import Supported Formats seem to indicate that it will accept the Premiere Elements project.prel (project file) on Windows Only.
    Adobe Premiere Pro Help | Supported file formats
    This may or may not be possible depending on damaged projects or outdated elements.
    2. If you want to export your Premiere Elements Timeline to a file saved to the computer hard drive and subsequently import that into your Premiere Pro version, that "should" work. You would go to the Premiere Elements Publish+Share/Computer/ and make a selection based on what the Premiere Pro Import Supported file formats are and what you need. I can help you with that. But, details first.
    But, just a "beware"...when you get to Premiere Elements 11 or 12 (if that is the version involved) Publish+Share/Computer/ there are several categories, but all you see is Adobe Flash Video, MPEG, and AVCHD. The rest of the list that includes AVI and QuickTime which both need to be scrolled to all of the time to see them, not just sometimes, with the thin scroll bar to the right of the list of choices. You can export files
    with AVI file extension, under Publish+Share/Computer/AVI
    with MOV file extension, under Publish + Share/Computer/QuickTime
    And, if you do not have QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements, you are not going to have presets for the QuickTime export.
    Remember, there is more to an export than just its file extension. Know your other export properties as well.
    In many cases, you can customize the export settings to suit your requirements.
    Problems will exist if you are trying to go from Premiere Elements Windows to Premiere Pro Mac or vice versa.
    I would be glad for the opportunity to help you with this issue, but details are needed.
    Looking forward to your follow up.
    Thanks.

  • Canon 450D CR2 Files compatible with Photoshop Elements 7?

    I have recently bought a Canon 450D camera and have noticed that the RAW CR2 images produced are not compatible with my Photoshop CS2 version. I'm not sure about upgrading to the latest version of Photoshop since I probably wouldn't use all the features but I would probably upgrade to Elements 7. Is Elements 7 completely compatible with my Canon CR2 files and has anyone else used this combination and been impressed with the results?
    Thanks.

    The 450D came out after CS2 was obsolete so you need at least CS3 to read 450D RAW files.
    Elements 7, being the current version, would support the 450D RAW files; however, I use CS4 and LR2 with my RAW files so cannot say how good PSE is or isn't.
    The other option is to convert the RAW files to DNG with the latest free DNG Converter and then use CS2 with the DNGs.
    If you have a dual or quad-core system with at least 2GB of memory, I'd suggest using Lightroom.

  • Will Quicktime Pro convert files compatible with Mac and Windows?

    I'm trying to decide if I should upgrate to Pro 7.
    I created a screen capture tutorial in Snaps Pro X which outputs a .mov file. Now I need to convert it to a cross platform version. Is that MPEG? I see that QT Pro 7 exports to MPEG-4. Is that compatible with at least XP?
    Also can I do screen capture videos right in QT Pro 7?
    Thanks,
    Steven

    QuickTime Pro can't capture your screen.
    Your SnapZ Pro .mov file should be compatible (depending the your choice of codecs) with any machine that has QuickTime installed.
