Captivate 7 and Audio Issues

Hi, I have been having with audio files in Captivate 7 when changing audio files for a specific slide. If I use the F6 functionality, sometimes the new audio file will be attached, sometimes it won't, and sometimes I will hear both audio files.
If I go into the library and remove all the audio files without first removing from the individual slides, sometimes the audio file will play on the slide when published. I cannot remove the audio file because I can see it in the library or on the film strip.
If I first remove the audio files from the slide, then remove the audio file from the library the file is definitely removed from the project.
Is this a bug in Captivate 7? Is there another way to ensure that the audio files have been updated without jumping through hoops. I've had a few projects I've had to recreate because of the audio issues.
thanks,

Welcome, Bob,
Each powerpoint slide will be converted in a mini video. You will have to make a parallel PPT, where you change the click animations to timed animations if you want the user in the CP-file to have to click only once.
Another approach would be to use Adobe Presenter, and the user could then click to advance on each animation.

  • Video and Audio Issues

    I am having troubles with playing videos and audio on my macbook pro. When attempting to play videos, the video generally stops playing after 2-3 seconds. The audio starts out choppy and eventually doesn't work at all. This issue persists on all browsers (safari, chrome, firefox), with both flash and HTML5 players. HTML5 players generally seem like they are fast forwarding for 5 seconds then stop. I have tried re-installing flash player and clearing the cache, but that does not fix the issue. I have also logged into a guest account and the issue still persists. Any advice on how to fix this would be welcomed, thank you.

    I have also tried getting rid of add-ons as well, which doesn't work either. Any ideas?

  • Captivate 6 and IE issues

    Hello Everyone,
    I am using a PC, Win 7 OS, 64 bit, 3.2 GHz with 24 GB RAM.
    Using Captivate 6, I developed an overview with voice-over: project is 27 MB.
    The project was working fine and publishing. I attempted to place one of our eLearning swf intros onto the first slide (5 MB), and the file started displaying issues. First, the background of slide 3 would display parts of itself on slide 5. I deleted the .swf opening, replaced it with a static png and the backgrounds cleared up.
    When I work in Captivate, the slides function as they should. However, when I publish the file (SWF player 9, 10, 10.2 and 11), instead of playing each slide, it will move to a new slide, show the background and play the audio. However, the playbar displays the "play" triangle and none of the interactions (  or text) that are timed will play. You then have to click the play button 3 or 4 times for the slide to show the textboxes/ highlightboxes and click boxes.
    This is the same in IE and Firefox.
    I tried removing the timing issue by having all the items load with the slide. They will all load, but you cannot move forward unless you select the play button 3 times.
    I have experienced a few weird things with Captivate 4, 5, and now 6; but this has me stumped.
    Any thoughts?
    Mike

    We are having some of the same issues with Captivate 6.
    Our files are not large, 20 to 40 mb average.
    We almost never use transitions - actually make that never.
    These have no video, no external swf files.
    Randomly... the published files and the Preview in web browser, fail to play audio files.
    It is most often the first slide with audio, but happens randomly throughout the file.
    To fix, I move the audio file a couple of 10ths of sec one way or the other and the slide publishes fine the next time, but some other slide(s) then picks up the problem.
    Occasionally there will be graphics or parts of graphics from a previous slide show up on later slides (no, they are not set to "rest of project") and also slides that "red screen".
    When graphics "ghost" and "red screen" happens the only way to fix those slides is to re-create the them deleting the old one (corrupted slide?). I believe "red screen" was a memory problem? our computers meet the minimum requirements for running Captivate 6.
    What is really weird is that these problems have been getting worse, every week we are having more and more problems.
    2 computers running 64bit and 3 running 32 bit.
    We have started clearing cache several times a day... restarting the program before and after the cache delete, and rebooting the computers. I have now spent the last 10 hours or so trying to get one file to publish without errors.
    Project Info....48 slides, Time 6 mins 27.1 secs (11613 frames) Resolution: 800 x 600 with 0 hidden slides, cptx size 26,223 KB, published swf size 10,258 KB. All of our files are published twice, once with and once without SCORM 1.2 reporting.
    This project had some sides copied into it from a file that was upgraded from 5.5 to 6. All of our templates were originally created in 5.5 and converted to 6.
    We are getting less and less done every day. In the last two days our productivity has ground to halt.
    Please help, I really don't know what to do at this stage. If the files would revert, I would go back to 5.5 just to get some projects delivered.

  • Captivate Software Simulation Audio Issues

    My Captive 8 software simulation slides have been having issues with the audio right after recording. Before I even publish anything, my audio will end up being 2-3 slides ahead of where it should be on the slides. As you may know, when recording a software simulation, captivate automatically generates the slides with each mouse click and should automatically insert the correct audio on each slide. This is not happening for me, and it is very time consuming to fix. I either have to re-record and hope it doesn’t happen again or do a lot of external audio editing.
    It’s possible there may not be a resolution and it may be a recognized (or unrecognized) bug in Captivate.  Just need to know whatever the case may be.
    My initial gut reaction is to blame this on the latest Captivate 8 update… as I don’t remember experiencing this issue before.  But then again, I also upgraded my mac to OS X and that may be a factor as well.
    I've had people suggest to add a blank ending to the audio to restart the audio timer on the next slide, as well as add a transparent highlight box at the end of the slide, but these are ways to fix it when the file is published. Since my issue is happening before publishing, I was hoping someone on this forum may have an answer.

    PIP is available in Presenter Video Creator, not in the normal Presenter plug-in. It is not available in Captivate normal projects with extension cptx. You can insert a PIP in the TOC, but have to record it separately.
    In Captivate HD Video Demo, extension cpvc (which is also a video creator with a dedicated video editor) you can insert a PIP in the editor. But again you have to create it separately.
    The choice is up to you: an easy way to have both recordings together, with very limited editing possibilites in Presenter. Or the Captivate way, more work, better editor.
    Afraid to repeat again: we are only talking about pure video now. In the normal Captivate files, that are based on slides, you can insert a video (like a PIP) and distribute it over slides, adapting the slide markers is available  in the Video menu. No webcam recording for the moment in Captivate.

  • Video and Audio issue with cam

    Lately my webcam video has not been able to be viewed on the software provided, it has just turned up as a green striped screen, the video show up perfectly when i play with windows media player and other video/music players, but the audio get screwed up, it will start out fine for the first two seconds then it will get very deep and distorted. And solutions?

    It is not easy to help with this. I mean if you already had contact with service they should be able to test it and repair. I really don't know which kind of advice we can offer here.
    Problem is that we don't know if this is hardware related issue or not.
    I have NB520 with my own preinstalled Win7 Home premium and everything works perfectly.
    Do you use original preinstalled Win7 starter version?
    Have you noticed this strange sound issue when you just listen music (online radio) without watching video?

  • Creating Buttons and Audio issues in DVDSP3

    Ok, here is what I want to do:
    I just want to create a simple DVD of my commercial reel. When the DVD is put in I want music to play. Then, I want to create a button in Photoshop and use it to play my commercials.
    My issues:
    I can't get the music to play and have a custom button on the same menu. I can't get the "highlight" portion of the button to work with the PSD file I created for the button.
    It seems like it would be so simple. What I am I doing wrong?

    Hi - welcome to the discussions.
    From what you have written I'd say you are using a photoshop layer based menu and if so, you won't be able to use audio on it... they don't support it.
    You'll be better off creating a standard overlay style menu instead, which will support the audio.
    Alternatively, create a track and use a piece of slug as the video (or a still image) and place the audio in that track. Set that to be the start up item for the disc and then get the end jump to go to a menu with buttons to play the commercials.
    Kind of depends on how you want to display this item, I guess...

  • Captivate, quiz and video issues

    Ok so this post is for anyone like me ( a massive beginner) trying to use flv video's in a quiz evaluation situation for playback on local machine.
    First of all if you've got lots of Big Videos probably forget the self contained situation and look at browser route. Get all your questions & video slides in and notice that whatever radio button is checked when you highlight the general quiz properties is the one it assumes is the right answer click shuffle or not and all that stuff then tell it what to do when it gets it right and then tell it what to do when it gets it wrong; like jump to watch that bit of video again ( I couldn't be arsed working out multi slide syncronising across slides and all that so I just exported the punishment / review flv bit again and made a seperate slide of it. Now what I found out is this captivate caper is not over happy with copy and paste. so when you import video I did it by importing it into the library first (It kept hanging, stopping, locking up when I inserted video the normal way after copying and pasting a previous video slide somewher else and replacing the flv) so get it in the library, drag it to a new slide, it asks you about streaming and progressive, do progressive and modify to accomodate timings, then the slide sort's its self out to suit the length of the flv (important if its too long or short or wrong or something then it hangs after its played... it won't return to quiz). The action on the slide should be on exit return to quiz. most of the other kak can be sorted either through quiz preferences or project skin editor... All that progress bar stuff is ok while your testing and that but then disable the lot at the end. who cares if the user knows how long they have got left.
    Also, if you are trying to jump around from a nav slide at the start using buttons... well unless you have told quiz prefs the user doesn't have to do the quiz it might not work.
    I've been on this captivate for 3 days, and its annoying as f**k but probably good, but if like me you just need a validation quick situation without scoring and data capture and all that then just get rid of all that scoring penalty caper... who cares what's what percentage they got thats for google big brother nosey data tw*ts and sad kippers. whats wrong with  'you passed go and get a sticker and a lollipop' slide at the end.
    P.S. what a load of old w**k this e-learning shi*te is, I have got to get a better life. Does anyone care about this crap unless its some kind of mystical future telling algorithm,
    I don't, if someone subjects me to a questionaire about 'How do I feel about Tuna welfare in the south pacific" or ' what do I consider the most important role of a fast food burger selling executive'... I'm already dead! F**k this I'm going to look at nudie women

    Hello There,
    Sorry to note that you are having issues with Quiz+Video workflows, but, can you please put it in bullet points the issues you are having? I'm sorry to ask you again because I didn't get much from your explanation. May be, if possible, you could send me a note on the issues with a sample file? You can send it to [email protected] Please be assured that we will work with you to investigate the issues.
    Thanks,

  • Interesting Video and Audio Issue

    Hello Folks,
    this is not a newbie Question and I hope that someone has an idea. The following issues occurs when trying to establish Audio/Video Conferences via iChat:
    * Video is transmitted just fine.
    * User A can hear user B, but not vice versa
    * Whereas Audio chat works just fine if user A hosts the conference
    * Filetransfers do not work at all
    * Screensharing works just fine!
    The following infrastructure is used:
    - Jabber Server (ejabberd)
    - Both Clients use the same iChat version via the Jabber Server
    - Both Clients run the same OS X Version (10.5.3)
    ALL FIREWALLS HAVE BEEN TURNED OFF! (Mac OS Firewalls, Software Firewalls, ipfw and all firewalls between the hosts, we even put both hosts to the DMZ of our routers - so portforwarding is no issue because all ports are mapped to the client(s))
    Can anyone help?
    PS: Yes the microphone is running well and all plugs are plugged in

    Hi,
    AS far as I am aware ejabberd is a Jabber Client.
    Using that you set up a Jabber ID with someone.
    Who is that Someone (Server) ?
    And what ports are they using in 1) ejabberd and 2) the Server you are with ?
    iChat lists 3 Jabber ports
    5220, 5222 for most Jabber ID's and Servers.
    Some including GoogleTalk use port 5223
    These are all TCP protocol Ports.
    Have you got these open in any routing device you are using ?

  • Adobe premiere elements 10  Quality and audio issues

    Im using adobe premiere elements 10 and im trying to edit my videos that i got form the elgato ive allays had no problems until two days ago when i import a video to work on it the quality goes to **** and the audio gets messed up  and i when i check the video on elgato its perfect  so something is going wrong and i need your help to fix it.

    op c
    On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 10 running? And, what video card/graphics card does this computer use? NVIDIA GeForce?
    If so, stop and let us know.
    From what I have read, if you are using Elgato Video Capture, you are probably working on a Mac computer capturing H.264 or MPEG-4 640 x 480 with AAC audio. Is that correct? If so, what is the file extension of the capture that you put on the Premiere Elements 10 Mac Timeline?
    Have you changed any of the default settings for Elgato Video Capture under its preferences?
    How does this recent bad video's properties compare with others from the good video with which you had no problems?
    What is the project preset that you are setting in either case?
    Can you still bring the "good" Elgato captures into a Premiere Elements 10 Mac project and  they are still "good" while the recent ones on that
    same Timeline look not so good?

  • Captivate 6 and Mac OSX 10.8 Mountain Lion Fatal Error

    When I attempt to create a new project, I immediately get a message: "A fatal error has occured and the application is being terminated." Is anyone else having this issue?

    Hi there
    Indeed, many folks confuse the issue by writing "Captivate CS6" and the issue there is that Captivate has never been part of the Creative Suite line of products.

  • Audio issues - MANY

    I have a Satellite L745D-S4220RD Laptop, which I bought in September.
    Sound - is there NO control on the keyboard for this anywhere?  Actually it really doesn't matter since the sound that's there is barely audible.  If I stick my head down next to the speakers I can tell there's something coming out of it.  Volume - and it's turned all the way up - is mostly non-existant.
    I use Adobe Audition.  I've used it on various versions of IE from 98SE to my new W7 machine.  I know it works on W7 since I've installed it in other people's PCs at work as well.  However, it seems that for me to record into Adobe Audition - I can't unless I use the internal mic.  I tried to record a County Council meeting from their webstream - got nothing.  Tried to record anything from winamp - got nothing. 
    Played with the settings and discovered something to boost the audio - which makes things louder, but to try to record with anything - now I'm getting errors, which are reminiscent of soundcard issues I had back in the old W98SE days if I tried to use anything but a mic or Real Player to record from into Audition.  It couldn't handle Winamp either - course that was nearly 10 years ago and audio has advanced in nearly every PC I've had but this one. 
    Do you mean to tell me that in this day and buying a new laptop in 2011 the soundcard is this crappy?
    Existing audio that I try to play is herky jerky and goes in & out and likewise sounds just as crappy. 
    I'm in radio - and planned on using this for work when I'm in the field - what I have is completely useless.  I've used the laptop maybe 4 times - all of them trying to remedy the multitude of sound and audio issues that it has to mostly no avail.  I get one thing working - and it screws up other aspects of the audio and sound. 
    Really regretting buying this laptop...........

    You could try reinstalling the sound driver.
    Conexant Audio Driver(v8.51.2.51; 07-25-2011; 59.4M)
    Fn+3 and Fn+4 control the volume.
    If you can't solve your issue and no one in the community can help, contact support to speak with a tech support agent at (800) 457-7777.

  • Issues with Captivate 5 and the Audio Editor

    I downloaded the trial for Captivate 5 (I previously used Captivate 4) and I am disappointed with the recorded audio editor.
    (Please excuse the incorrect terms that I might use.) In Captivate 4 when editing recorded voice, the sound waves were bigger so editing them to remove breaths was easier. Now the sound waves are so small (even after adjusting the Zoom to 100) I cannot really see the breaths to insert silence.
    Also, I am constantly having adjust the volume and increase the dB level to make the audio louder and easier to hear, which I did not have to do with Captivate 4 (and I am using the same equiptment and set up). It seems as though Cativate 5 is softening the recorded voice and I don't need that.
    I feel like Capticate 5 has lost functionality the with the above when sound editing, which doesn't seem right to me. Is there a way to fix these two issues in Captivate 5 so it functions more like Captivate 4?
    Thank you,
    Amanda

    I agree.  I much prefered the Captivate 4 functionality and would like to see some iprovement in CS5.

  • Captivate 4 (Windows7 & 64bit) Audio Issue

    Hello,
    I have read the Windows 7 & 64 bit thread about how Captivate 4 not work within a Windows 7/ 64-bit environment, some how it worked on this computer before I adopted it.  I am trying to record audio on a project and when I go into Audio-Setting--the input device area is greyed out and I can't select a device.  I have a Microsoft headset attached to the laptop by USB.  I also cannot click on the Calibrate input button because it is greyed out.
    This laptop was used to create several Captivate 4 projects without any audio issues as far a I know.  I just adopted the laptop and unfortunately the previous user is no longer at this office.
    Thanks,
